Hotel Den Helder
"the room was a larger American size hotel room with clean large bathrooms and huge bed. The carpet and sofa were moderately used but that is expected in a touristy spot that has high utilization. We had a difficult time finding a on-demand taxi or bus(does not come often) so it is about a 3/4 mile walk to the train station . If you plan on walking\biking a lot every where and to Texel island, this is a good hotel(even with the park on the north side) to launch from. BTW; the lunch and soup were good here."
Bastion Hotel Leeuwarden
"Excellent property and amenities. Located way out in the boondocks for walking tourists."
Post-Plaza Hotel & Grand Café
"We loved our stay here. Perfect location in the city for exploring. Hotel itself was spacious and nicely designed. Felt very classic as opposed to more modern hotels which can sometimes feel cramped. Amazing restaurant and bar area with beautiful architecture to reflect the old post office building. Staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient always. Room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended. Will return on next visit to Friesland."
Hotel Vie Via
"Beautiful and tidy rooms with very comfy beds and amazing showers. Minimal staff presence but that is the point of this hotel"
Van Der Valk Hotel Sneek
"The Hotel and Staff was amazing"
Van der Valk Hotel Leeuwarden
"Van der Valk Leeuwarden exceeded our expectations. The hotel is modern, elegant, and beautifully maintained. Our room was spotless, spacious, and comfortable. The staff were welcoming, professional, and attentive from check-in until departure. Breakfast offered a wide selection of fresh, high-quality food. The facilities were excellent, and the overall atmosphere felt luxurious yet relaxing. We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again."
Strandhotel Vigilante
"Great stay for business in the local area. very clean rooms."
Fletcher Hotel - Restaurant De Cooghen
"The room was not bad. The bathroom was clean, but the floor in the room itself wasn't (sand, dust, etc.) The bed was nice and soft. The bedding was fresh and clean. The room is very basic. No mini-fridge or kettle or anything like that. There were also things like torn wall paper and other wear-and-tear. Overall, we stayed for just one night and were quite satisfied."
Fletcher Hotel-Paleis Stadhouderlijk Hof
"The room was nice and clean, the only downsides were how many random sets of stairs you have to drag your luggage up and down to get to the correct elevator if your room is in the other building. The two person bed room is really great if you want to sleep next to your partner without snuggling, as if they try they’ll get swallowed up by the beds separating, haha."
