Boutique hotel in a renovated 19th-century school in central Alkmaar

Renovated School Architecture

College Hotel Alkmaar occupies a former 19th-century public school, preserving original details such as high ceilings, huge windows, and art deco elements. The building's history is visible in the former classrooms now converted into guest rooms, including the Standard Twin Room which occupies half of a former classroom. Guests can read about the school's past in the hotel's informative materials, adding a layer of cultural exploration to the stay.

Spacious Rooms and In-Room Amenities

Rooms at College Hotel Alkmaar are equipped with a TV including cable channels, a seating area, and a private bathroom with a shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. The Standard Twin Room offers city views, a desk, and bed linen, while the Large Double Room provides extra space for groups. Each room is allergy-free and soundproofed, with heating and air conditioning available throughout the property.

On-Site Dining and Breakfast

The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast buffet with fresh bread, cheese, meat, eggs, yogurt, and hot items like bacon and sausages. Guests can also use the on-site coffee house and bar, which serves wine, champagne, and a kid-friendly buffet. The breakfast is served in three 1-hour slots to avoid overcrowding, ensuring a relaxed start to the day.
