Bastion Hotel Bussum Hilversum

The staff at reception were so lovely and welcoming. The room was clean and as expected. Everything worked and there was a free hot drink machine downstairs. We had an emergency (bed bugs) and had to leave our original hotel and relocate here in the middle of the night. Our friends staying here told the receptionist and they sorted out a room for us at the next availability, and made sure it was clean and ready for us. Location is lovely too as bussum is soo nice, and not far at all from amsterdam.

Next to train station, but very QUIET. Staff very helpful The smaller rooms have a very small bathroom and no door. The slightly larger rooms were perfect for a grandmother and 17 yr old grandson and the bathroom had a door!

Loved that it was right by the train station. The trains were so quiet!!!!!

Nice hotel and good area.close to train station..just 20 to 25 mins to amsterdam city..

gentleman at the reception was super friendly and helpful

Very handy for the railway station yet not noisy

Large parking lot with free parking; directly next to the train station. My room was spacious with 2 single beds. I only used one; presumably it's possible to put the beds together to get a king-/queen size. There's a Nespresso machine in the room - I sure do appreciate coffee in the morning. An electric kettle is available on request. Unfortunately the hallways have a strong smell of old cigar smoke. And there's no elevator. My room was at the backside of the hotel with a view of the cemetery next to the hotel. To me it meant a quiet night without the noise of cars or trains. Maybe less quiet if you're a clairvoyant. The personnel is friendly but seemed inexperienced. They sure did their best, but one doesn't serve a milk coffee if you asked for a Latte Macchiato. There's also a rather limited choice of snacks and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) so we ended up taking a trip to the nearby town for food. Breakfast was OK - not great. Again, limited choice. Altogether a reasonable hotel if you appreciate a spacious and relatively modern room for one night. But find a restaurant in town if you want a decent meal.
