During the month of november, this stay okay hostel is turned into a Sinterklaas Castle. A local myth and holiday from which Santa Clause is derived. A great place to go with your kids and enjoy all the holiday fun. Definitely worth the price of admission. And if you're not going for the Sint festivities, take a nice stroll through the beautiful castle garden.

Stayokay Hostel Heemskerk offers a unique experience within a 13th-century castle. Guests appreciate its historic charm, beautiful gardens, and clean facilities. While located outside Amsterdam, it's easily accessible by public transportation. The hostel offers both private and shared rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. The included breakfast buffet is a highlight. Some guests find the rooms a bit small, but the overall experience of staying in a castle outweighs this minor inconvenience. It's a perfect choice for travelers seeking a unique and memorable stay near Amsterdam.

The rooms are extremely noisy. I could hear every conversation word for word that my neighbours were having. The rooms are very dated. They probably haven’t been updated in the last 30 odd years. But the worst out of the whole experience was the presence of a teen camp. The rule is quiet after 11pm. Whilst we were staying there, there was a group of teens. Every night they were running down the corridors, screaming, laughter and on the last day a full disco in the hall below us. And when the noise finally calmed down the staff started with disturbance. My small children couldn’t sleep before midnight every day. If I had known about this I would’ve booked a different place. Also, in the 4 days that we stayed we’ve had only 2 staff members that made eye contact or smiled (a very tall slim man at breakfast and a blond lady at the reception in her 30s/40s). The rest wouldn’t give you the light of day and need hospitality training to say the least. And when we tried to find staff for either a drink or question, they were not to be found. Because they were either smoking or chatting with staff/friends (speaking of the evening staff). The location is beautiful, the breakfast was good (albeit I’ve had better at different stayokays), free parking and you can’t beat the view. BUT the no-cash policy, the staff, the rooms, and the extreme noise disturbance was a HUGE negative.

Slot Assumburg was a great place to stay, with beautiful grounds, an excellent breakfast, and helpful staff. We rented bikes for a trip to the sea, and could have stayed longer if time had permitted. Family friendly too!
