Augusta Hotel

A very nice and cozy...

Liked: The Augusta Hotel is a very nice little hotel in Ijmuiden´s harbour near the locks and the ferry to the UK. All rooms are neatly furnished, all very quiet, breakfast is excellent, the restaurant offers a great fusion cooking experience, the bar is awesome. The personal speaks a variety of languages and is really caring and helpfull. In a nutshell: Travel into the 19th century with all the luxury of today. A very nice and cozy place!
Disliked: Beware of seagulls and mews at Ijmuiden harbour! Regardless of where you park, your car will get bombed by the birds. There is a Shell filling station with wash booths a few hundred meters away (vis-a-vis from KNRM headquarters just beneath the harbour museum). You may want to wash off mews poop from your car saturdays or sundays (self service) there.

The people running the hotel...

Disliked: This hotel is not much different than many old Dutch hotels. Very narrow and steep stair treads, no elevator, somewhat poor lighting, step up and into the bathroom, which is a trip hazard, tiny shower, no place to set my suitcase except the bed. Somebody may call the Furniture antique, but it is really just old and rickety and not terribly functional. There is not a lot of competition in the area so they are able to charge way more than it is worth in my estimation. The walls are so thin that the cleaning crew in the next room sounded as though they were next to my bed in my room.

Very good
