“Cozy, Comfy and Satisfied!”
It’s a nice and cozy building with a rich history. Great rooms, or rather, mini apartments is a better term. An excellent place to wind down and relax.

“I cannot imagine there being any better place to stay in Bolsward, or surrounding area.”
The location is fantastic, in the centre of Bolsward. The rooms are modern, spacious and comfortable. Although it was freezing outside, inside it was very pleasant. There were free coffee and tea facilities, and there was a fridge.

“Good stay overall. Breakfast was a bit pricy in comparison to other places we have been to. Almost 15 euros, same price”

“Comfortable stay and once the new wing is finished I pressume it will be great! For now, our stay felt more like a 7,5.”
The property itself is beautiful + breakfast room was gorgeous. Staff was very friendly. The bed was comfortable. The bath is spacious and a very luxurious addition to the room. A gluten-free breakfast was possible!

We were quoted a total of £419 by Booking.com for 4 rooms for our stay on 19/20 June. Our party paid individually, three of us the same amount but the fourth member of the group significantly more(€50+ difference). In a subsequent telephone discussion with the owner on the morning we departed he agreed with me that a mistake had been made and that the fourth member should have been charged the same amount as the others. My understanding was that the difference would be repaid on to my card. As yet nothing has appeared on my card to this effect. I would be grateful for any intervention on my behalf that you are able to make. I also will be following this up with the hotel myself. Many thanks. Happily after contacting the manager, the overpayment was refunded. Excellent customer relations. 18/07/24

The accommodation was spacious, warm and light. The separate lounge area was ideal and large. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. We really appreciate the stocked fridge and honesty bar. It is a lovely historic building in a really great town. We walked and enjoyed the town and restaurants.
