Insight Guides
"Most people fall in love with this lovely brick hotel by a quiet, tree-lined canal close to the centre. It is an irresistible building, with old wooden staircases and heavy oak furniture."

Lonely Planet
"First impressions are truly exciting: a peaceful Minnewater park location, a classic step-gabled facade and ancient fireplaces in a medieval-styled lobby." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The Egmond feels like a world apart, set in its own little tree-shaded park next to the Minnewater, in the south of the town. The façades and manor-house style give it a neo-baronial air."
Frommer's
"Ample space, plenty of family ambience, abundant local color, and lots of peace and tranquillity." Full review
Fodor's
"Each guest room has a special period feature or two, and all are airy, with garden views. You can stroll the perimeter of the Minnewater park." Full review
