Advantages: Amazing Night Life!!!!! Disadvantages: Loud!!!
...During the Nazi occupation local resistance sussed out the Nazi spys by having people pronounce the name of the town Scheveningen. So don't embarrass yourself trying to say it!
5 minutes from the Hague, 15 minutes from Delft and about 40 minutes from Amsterdam; if you are looking for night life Scheveningen is the place to be.
The boardwalk is strewn with cafes and clubs, some staying open as late, or as early as 6AM.
I still haven't visited Scheveningen by day yet so I'm unable to comment on the day life, although from what I can gather it would be excellent for a day at the beach.
There is a Bungy Jump Club situated at the end of the pier and a large shopping mall, offering late night shopping on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 11pm.
There is a very large Holland Casio, difficult to miss when you step off the tram...

The Intermezzo bar opens from 10am in the morning until 1am and you could take lunch and a light snack dinner here. They had a very wide range of drinks including speciality liquors and cocktails, which were not very cheap, but indulgent for a holiday!
The Symphony Rest restaurant is also excellent and we enjoyed a three course dinner with wine for under £30 per person. They have a very wide range of fish dishes on the menu and the sea bass that I tried was excellent! The restaurant never seems overly busy and the service we enjoyed was very good and the staff were very knowledgeable about the products they were serving.
The hotel itself:
Check in at the hotel is from 3pm, but we arrived at 1pm and our room was available. Check out was noon but as we had a late flight we were able to store our bags until we left for the airport...
