What an inspired choice this was, to book 5 nights here in the Hotel De Koepoort. Location was just a short walk from the town harbour, even closer to the main churches and shopping areas and some very good restaurants. This hotel did not do evening meals, but this hardly matters. Breakfast was superb, and the staff helping out so helpful and friendly. Excellent selection of Breakfast items - all of which, were fresh and enjoyable. Joyce on reception, (as well as others, although I did not catch their names) went out of their way to be extremely helpful, and gave us some useful hints as to what to see and where to eat. Our room on the top reached by some steep steps, and possibly the slowest lift (elevator) in the Netherlands. The room, itself was great, close enough to clearly hear the Koespoort - (city gate) Carillion to hear the hourly chimes, and single bell on the half hour! Nicely decorated, very good bath room with a jet pool bath. Very large and comfortable bed, no fridge, but the trek downstairs to the bar was well worth it. Nice hot shower, although we had to improvise and built a drainage dyke ( with towels) to stop the room from flooding. Enkhuizen is a great place to visit, a place to enjoy the peace, calm and charm. The Hotel De Koepoort is a happy extension of this. A wonderful place to stay, and with a great staff that were a joy to talk to, albeit in English.
