Strandhotel Scheveningen is a small, friendly hotel at Zeekant 111, a street running parallel to the sea in the heart of Scheveningen. It offers six room types, from Economy and Standard twins to a Standard Twin with beach view, a single with a partial sea view, a ground-floor twin and a family room that sleeps several. Rooms have private bathrooms with showers, free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, heating and a desk. There is a rooftop terrace and a bar and lounge, plus bike rental, luggage storage and a front-desk safe. A buffet breakfast is available for a fee. It is the kind of hotel where you step out of the door and the beach is a minute away, which is its main attraction.
The position is excellent for a seaside stay. The beach is about a one-minute walk and the pier with the SkyView Ferris wheel about six minutes away. The casino and the Kurhaus area are also within a short walk, and trams and buses connect Scheveningen with The Hague's museums and Delft. In practice the hotel works best for travellers who want sea air and long walks in the morning and the city in the afternoon, using public transport for the centre. Madurodam is also easy to reach by tram.
Rooms are simple and bright, and a beach-view room is worth requesting for the sea outlook. The family room suits groups, and the ground-floor room helps anyone who finds stairs hard, because the hotel has no lift. Air conditioning is not listed, so in a hot summer you may want to ask about fans.
Check-in and the front desk have limited hours of roughly eight in the morning to ten at night, so tell the hotel if you will arrive late. Breakfast is a buffet with weekday and weekend serving times, offered at an extra charge.
Good to know
Parking is available in a nearby 24-hour car park for a daily fee, and Scheveningen can be crowded in summer, so a car is a burden. Pets are not allowed, and the property is smoke-free. A nightly city tax per person is added. The hotel suits couples, small families and solo travellers who want the beach without paying hotel-resort prices. In winter the area is quiet and windy, with fewer beach clubs open, so it is a calm base for walkers and for anyone planning to spend most days at the museums.
