Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a quiet and beautiful area near the bus station and the center of Giethoorn, offering easy access to the town. The rooms, although smaller than expected, are clean and adequate. The service is polite but faced challenges in maintenance responses. The overall value for the spacious and modern rooms is satisfactory, but the dining experience could be improved.
The hotel is ideally located alongside the beautiful canals of Giethoorn, offering easy access to boat rentals and a picturesque setting. The rooms, while decent for a short stay, lacked proper temperature control and security for families with young children. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is in a convenient location with easy access to the center of Giethoorn, offering self check-in and being close to the canal waterways. The rooms are fairly small but impeccably clean, though basic in terms of facilities. The service was friendly and attentive, except for a slight issue with rudeness. Dining options were satisfactory for the price, including regional jams. However, the deserted surroundings at night may not suit everyone.
I had a cozy stay at this hotel for a night. The room was promptly turned every day, although a bit overheated due to being in the roof. It was small, but that didn't affect our overall experience, especially with breakfast included for the three of us.
The hotel is ideally located, close to the city center and with convenient access to various activities. The self-check-in option was helpful, but the lack of space in the rooms was a major drawback. The service was top-notch with friendly and supportive staff. Dining options were varied and satisfying, enhancing the overall experience.
