Very old rooms, my room had spider guests on all four ceiling corners XD. Didnt bother me but its unsightly for a hotel. Service is ok but anything they being to your room they charge an extra 10 Euros which I found bizarre. Even if you ask for an empty glass.

Van der Valk Drachten did not disappoint and was exactly what you would expect from a Van der Valk. We opted for a 3-course menu and were served excellently all evening by the friendly and attentive staff. The food was delicious, with the highlight being a very tasty satay. What struck us is that the dining room is quite extensive, but that did not detract from the atmosphere and the neat layout of the interior. All in all a great experience and we will definitely come back here more often!

The room was ok, the bathroom was more than adequate, but the door sills were too high everywhere. The automatic sliding doors close very quickly, so I was often stuck! | loading"!! …
