Van der Valk Hotel Amersfoort-A1
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you travel by car and want a four-star hotel with free parking, a gym and a well reviewed breakfast. If you want to stroll the old town from your door, this is the wrong base.

This is our Luxury choice in Amersfoort. It suits drivers, business travellers and anyone using the city as a stop on a road trip. Free parking, a restaurant, a gym, a garden and a terrace are listed.
Skip it if you plan to explore on foot. The old town sights are far away, and you will need a car, public transport or a taxi for almost every outing. People who need a firm mattress should also read the guest comments below.
Location and getting around
The address is Ruimtevaart 22, and the location score is 8.4 out of 10.
By our straight-line estimates, Koppelpoort is about 4.2 km away, roughly 53 minutes on foot. Mondriaan House is about 4.6 km, around 58 minutes. The Pyramid of Austerlitz is about 12.3 km, more than two and a half hours on foot. All three are far. Plan on public transport, a taxi or your own car.
Free parking is listed, which makes the car the simplest option for most guests.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.6 out of 10 from 1,156 reviews and sits joint 1st of the 6 eligible hotels we compared in Amersfoort.
Breakfast earns the strongest praise. Guests describe an extensive buffet with fresh products, a wide choice and a live cooking station. Options listed include continental, vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free. Guests also like the staff, describing a friendly, professional team and a warm welcome.
The main complaint is the bed. Beds are large and generally comfortable, but mattresses are often soft and pillows lack support.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults came to about €153.06 per night, 3% below the sample median of €157.71. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Bastion Hotel Amersfoort, is four stars, scores 8.1 and cost about €110.06 per night. Our Best Value pick, Leerhotel Het Klooster, is four stars, scores 8.6 and cost about €197.56 per night.
Amersfoort is unusual: our Luxury pick was cheaper than our Best Value pick on these dates. That makes this hotel a fair deal for a top-scoring four-star, as long as the out-of-town location works for you.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Amersfoort. For Luxury we prefer five-star hotels, and a four-star fallback must score at least 8.5. With no five-star in the running, this four-star cleared that bar with its 8.6 and a large review base.
