We anticipated staying in the castle, not the guest house....pay attention to the "fine print"! Tiny room wasn't worth the cost paid. Wouldn't stay there again for that price.

This was a very disappointing stay. The room was bare and I had to make my own bed. The room was super cold at night. There was barely any toilet paper. Lack of power outlets to charge my phone except one beside the sink near the front door. It was run by a young student who operated the front desk. Not at all what I was expecting.

Cute little castle hostel. You pick up linens at the front desk. It has everything you need to sleep for the night and hang out in the common rooms. Beautiful walking trails around the property. Good simple breakfast free with your stay.

Hostel in a castle
This was a great little family getaway to say the kids slept in a castle. Not all rooms are in the castle itself but luckily they were able to move our reservation back into the main building. There is a lot of road constraints which made it difficult to find. But not noticable once on property. Remember. Castle. Lots of stairs. Pack light

It was super hot and our upstairs rooms was HOT! There is no A/C and no screens on the windows. Mosquitos are a problem.

Since the only amenity is the castle itself, staying in a tiny cell adjacent to the castle and not being able to use the bar or restaurant after 8pm was disappointing.

Castle near Castricum
The castle is a wonderful building superbly converted to a youth hostel. The bar was open until midnight. The draught Trappist beer was excellent. Friendly staff. Great value. Convenient road connections.

Doors close at midnight. Otherwise perfect.
The hotel/hostel is beautiful and the breakfast was great. There was a lot of big families staying at the hotel, so dont expect a party vibe from the hostel. The train line between amsterdam and heemskerk wasn't fully functional and required a detour via bus, which added 30 minutes to the 1 hour trip and almost caused me to get locked out of the hostel at midnight. Otherwise though it was wonderful.

Fantastic building and garden, great for exploring North Holland by car, bike or train/bus. When you book keep in mind it's a HOSTEL and not a HOTEL! If your good with that it's a great place to stay.

Fairy Tale
Staying here was amazing and extremely relaxing. The restoration of this castle is awesome. Then keeping it as a youth hostel is super rad. The gardens are breath taking. This truly was a really cool place to take a couple down days and truly enjoy the beauty of the land. Thanks for having us. Bucket List!
