Best hotels in Alkmaar
This shortlist gathers 15 hotels in Alkmaar, from 3-star city stays to 4-star properties with pools and spas. It is for couples, families and business travellers comparing where to sleep in and around the old centre.
Staying in Alkmaar
Alkmaar is a Dutch city of canals, gabled houses and the Waag, best known for its cheese market. Its compact centre is made for walking, with terraces, restaurants and shops along the water, and much of what a visitor comes for lies within the old town.
The hotels here sit in and around that centre. Addresses such as Dubbelebuurt, Fnidsen, Gedempte Nieuwesloot, Mient, Achter De Vest, Hekelstraat, Appelsteeg, Pieterstraat, Koningsstraat and Kerkplein place most of them in the historic core, while Geestersingel, Arcadialaan, Prins Bernhardlaan, Payglop and Stationsweg stand just outside it. The 4-star houses with pools, spas and restaurants suit couples and families wanting facilities on site, the smaller 3-star addresses suit short breaks and city exploring, and properties with parking, business centres and 24-hour desks serve business travellers.
