My favorite hotel when I have to teach at the maritime school in Harlingen. Extremely nice and helpful owner, delicious breakfast and dinner, excellent rooms, excellent price, and very atmospheric! You go back in time, but in a positive way: when everything was still fun and in Dutch ;)

This is my third time in this hotel, a historic building, the rooms are slightly dated but clean and fully equipped.Service is excellent.Didn't have dinner so I can't say anything about it.Breakfast is well organized, wide choice for everyone's taste.The hotel is located close to the center, a few minutes' walk away. Harlingen is a mix of beautiful historic buildings and new buildings that often fit nicely.

Nice hotel, 10 minutes walk to the ferry port and a few minutes to the shopping street. Good and extensive breakfast. Standard room is a bit small but clean. Recommended.

Fantastic! Friendly reception. We had the budget room, but it was fine (up 2 steep flights of stairs). Lovely bed, nice shower, very quiet, nothing to hear.And then the biggest surprise, the free breakfast, super extensive. We'll be back here!
