Das Eigentum
Van der Valk Hotel Den Haag - Nootdorp is a reliable, contemporary 3-star property positioned in the quieter southern suburb of The Hague, offering straightforward comfort over boutique flourish—think clean Nordic lines, efficient service, and competitive value rather than extravagance. The lobby conveys practicality: a business-focused ambiance with modern furnishings, useful meeting spaces, and a no-nonsense approach to hospitality. It suits the budget-conscious leisure traveller, business commuter, and families seeking proximity to The Hague's cultural institutions without central-city price inflation. Standing here feels purposeful rather than atmospheric—a staging post to explore rather than a destination unto itself.
️ Chroniken von Nootdorp
The Hague (Den Haag) emerged in the 13th century as a hunting lodge for the Counts of Holland, and by the 15th century had crystallised into the administrative heart of the Dutch state, later hosting the Peace Palace (1913) and establishing itself as the global seat of international justice. Its architectural identity blends Dutch Golden Age grandeur—evident in the Mauritshuis and classical façades of the Binnenhof—with 19th-century expansion and modernist interventions that reflect its role as seat of government and parliament. Today the city presents itself as a cosmopolitan hub balancing historical weight with contemporary art, design, and diplomacy, home to over 500,000 residents and a palpable intellectual atmosphere. Nootdorp, the district where this hotel sits, is a planned suburban expansion (post-1960s) of functional residential and commercial zones, lacking the mediaeval charm of the city centre but offering authentic Dutch ordinariness.

Der vollständige GuideDie besten Monate
May and September offer the golden window: mild temperatures (15–20°C), longer daylight, and the summer crowds have either not yet arrived or have dispersed. June, whilst technically entering peak season, still carries the spring's freshness and is ideal if early-summer events (Parkpop festival, outdoor performances) are your draw.
🔥 Peak / Festival Surge
July–August dominates; the weather is warm and stable (18–23°C), schools are closed across Europe, and international visitors flood to the Mauritshuis, Peace Palace tours, and Scheveningen beach. Hotel rates spike 20–35% above shoulder rates; book 8–12 weeks ahead. The Hague Jazz Festival (July) and various open-air cinema and concert series drive occupancy.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October provide excellent value; prices drop 15–25% from peak, weather remains navigable (10–15°C in April, 10–16°C in October), and museums, gardens, and markets feel less congested. Tulip season (late April) and autumn foliage (October) are subtle but genuine draws.
Wetter & Verpackung
The Dutch coast and The Hague lie at sea level and experience changeable maritime weather; expect rain on roughly 40% of days even in summer, with morning cloud and occasional brisk winds. Pack a compact waterproof jacket and umbrella as non-negotiable items, regardless of the forecast.
Live City Briefing
- The Hague recently enhanced its cycling infrastructure with expanded bike lanes and improved connections from Nootdorp to the city centre; June 2026 travellers should expect smooth access by bicycle (rentals widely available) and note that the NS rail links to Amsterdam and Rotterdam run punctually but may experience minor weekend engineering works.
- The Mauritshuis, one of Europe's finest Old Masters collections, underwent a major renovation completed in 2024; visitor numbers remain elevated, so advanced booking of timed slots is strongly advised for June visits.
- Scheveningen beach (15 km northwest of Nootdorp) hosts an extended summer season of open-air dance festivals and food markets starting late May; June offers warmer water (15–16°C, still bracing) and festival programming that draws locals and visitors.
