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
