Perfect stay

Reviewed By ant0n1948

We stayed 3 nights in a Comfort room at the 7th floor which is high enough for a panoramic view over the south-east part of the city. Although the city is meant to be discovered by bicycle, we decided to walk the 1 km distance from the hotel to the (historic) city centre, governed by the Oldehove Tower. The room has plenty space as well as the bath room with a walk-in rain shower. Unfortunately the space between tap and fitted basin is rather short. During our stay 2 evenings we had our diner at the in-house Michelin 1 * ‘Elevé’ Restaurant at the 11th floor. That has been an excellent decision: the menu lists a variety of promising dishes and the quality confirmed the expectations!

A mixed bag

Reviewed By Valerie N

On the one hand, it’s very cool to be able to say we stayed in a palace. We could easily tell one of the larger meeting rooms had been a place to entertain many guests, maybe even a ballroom. The yard behind the hotel is lovely and inviting. The staff were helpful. The breakfast buffet was typical for European hotels, and we found the variety of Dutch breads, cheeses, and sprinkles a nice touch. The location in the center of town can’t be beat. Our bed was comfortable, as were the pillows. Being able to open the windows was wonderful, since we like to sleep cold. They even provided a fan that we could use both to keep the room cool and give us some white noise On the other hand—someone needs to put a lot of money and love into this place. It is in desperate need of a major facelift. We stayed on the first floor and the carpeting in the hallway was terribly stained and worn—sometimes right through to the floor. While the carpeting in our room was a tiny bit better, it looked so bad, I didn’t want to walk barefoot on it. The walls in the hall and in our room desperately need to be painted. I wouldn’t even sit on the furniture upholstered in cloth in our room. Everything was saggy and worn. I was also put off by the door locking with a key that only worked part of the time. There was no safe in the room and because we only had an old-fashioned key, we carried everything of value with us wherever we went. For quite some time, I wondered if I just didn’t have an adventurous spirit and needed to remember that perhaps standards in other parts of the world are different from what I’m used to. And yet… While having to park 500 meters away was a pain, I completely understood that Leeuwarden wasn’t constructed to accommodate parking lots near hotels. That’s simply the hotel and town’s historic roots. Would I have liked plush towels? Yes. Not a dealbreaker. But I still can’t get past how many areas hadn’t had attention for so long and what amazing potential the hotel has if someone would put some loving care into it.

Friendly nice bar below. It's in a very nice neighborhood. Super good breakfast. The stairway is a killer but most are in NL. I've gone back here for years. I know the area and like it very much. Not always serving food even though its called a cafe but when they do, it is really good.
