Hotels Near Giethoorn in Giethoorn

This hotel was a huge let down, its old and its not looked after for years (thats how it feels). We were going to celebrate our anniversery and thought it looked great on the pictures and 4 stars is always 4 stars. Our first room had a carpet full of stains, big stains and they looked old. Bathrum looked fairly renovated, but there was a smell of sewer in there. The wallpaper was lose on several places and it looked like it was damaged by water. Our second room had similar issues, hard floor so no stains but sewer smell in the bathroom, walls dirty, a big hole was repaired with filler but not painted, a big wooden board covering one of the doors to balcony, it looked like a temporary and crappy fix. It seem to us that the maintainance left a few years ago, or they have a shoe string budget, or they are not allowed to fix things. When reception, with not a second of doubt hands us a towel to cover the shower drains and a bottle of perfume then you know this is something they do all the time. INstead of fixing the issue, give the customers perfume! It can be seen everywhere, the tennis cours was overgrown, the lift made sounds and doors squeeked, the hallways looked old and dirty and there was a general feel of neglect. Service was nice, and breakfast was good, but the rest, dont go there..

Wonderfully welcoming staff. Relaxed ambience throughout the property. Elegant dining rooms. Large comfortable bedroom with good amenities in the room. Very nice evening meal (for a separate price) and an enjoyable breakfast (included in the price). Excellent value for money (in the week). No lifts though so if you have big suitcases, this could be a problem (that said, the staff helped us up with our light bags). The room we had had steps down into the room which made it difficult getting out as you had to step back down to pull the door inwards. Would definitely like to come and stay at this property again.

When you approach through the forest and waterways this monster in a large pond intrigues. Located next to the old Waterloopkundig or hydrological research centre this building from the sixties with its concrete look, has been fully remodelled and modernized. Nice couches and surroundings created in the main entrance and the hallways. Plenty of parking space and possibility to stall your bikes and bicycles. One strange thing is that they demand immediate payment of the room (even when we had given a credit card guarantee) though you can charge bar and restaurant on the room. All rooms have a balcony overlooking the pond and they have a lot of space. They are modern and supplied with a safe and coffeemaker. Good beds and perfect shower. The lights for reading at the seats and for shaving at the wash basin are faint and don't really help. For the rest, no remarks to the rooms though the decoration on the walls is a little bit of everything. The restaurant offered a special asparagus menu due to the season. We assume they do more of these specialties. The normal dishes have a decent variety and there is the possibility of the chef's choice in meat, fish or vegetarian (recommendable). With the option of strolling alongside the old research objects in the moors and woodlands and the good cycling options, this new (opened at 31 March 2023) hotel is an excellent extra for the Fletcher brand.

4,5 so let’s start here, nobody’s perfect +0,5 EV charge : supercharger is good (when working, available and without suv charging badly parked during long time), but having in addition plenty of low power T2 chargers to charge over night at a fair price is better -1 outdated rooms : this hotel needs an urgent modernization apart the flashy lobby. Unpleasant carpets, absent decoration (ugly walls and ceiling), old worn chairs and table, many broken things (like the hot water in shower) unacceptable for such a room rate. -1 : no AC nor proper ventilation, prehistoric TV set, oldest elevator I’ve seen in comparable hotels. -1 not family friendly : absolutely nothing for kids inside or around the hotel. In the rooms you have sink with dual tap, so kids can be in danger with hot water when not used to. Also note that there is no lock to avoid children going out. Outside is a water lake/marina without protections nor barriers. -0,5 smoke : thanks to an other century architecture with concourses rear the rooms you can enjoy the smoke from your neighbor on its terrasse. Time to be 21th century and smoke free. 1 ,5 is a fair evaluation regarding rooms situations and the lake of ventilation , I can’t imagine here with hot temperatures, etc.

The hotel pictures in de adds are beautiful, in real live it is less of a beautiful building in its surrounding (especially in fall on a rainy day) but that is not really what matters. The check in at the reception was surprisingly short and we were good to go to our room that looked perfectly clean. The room was far from warm and the heater could not fix this. The fish heads on the wallpaper were far from appealing to us. The functional light on the ceiling and next to the bed have no dimming function - hence the word functional! So sitting in the bright and cold lighted room and have a drink an a chat is not attractive. But beside the lights, the two chairs (iron and plastic wire) are far from comfortable (hard/no pillows). So the interior itself with the colors and furniture laks warmth. The floor is made from laminated PVC I guess which makes it even colder (but clean). So what you do, you go out and will definitely find your comfort in the restaurant/bistro. The restaurant is a lovely place to be and have a nice dinner. We were served very well by friendly staff. I must admit that the hotel staff - they are the same - were very friendly as well. It is exactly like what others write about. Good wine and good food, lots of people form around having a drink (bistro function) or share a meal (restaurant function) in this nice warm ambiance. When it was time for bed we went back to our fish-room. The beds are two separate beds with plastic wheels which easily drift the beds apart. So each should stay on his side or you both stay on one if you want to be close for a while. The bed itself was good, nice cover/sheets. Pillow was to thin but I think there was a spare one. The shower was great! Spacious and bright. The sink smelled. This is because unfortunately the extra (over load) chamber in the sinks tends to fill with soap bubbles when washing your hands. And this is a perfect spot for fungus to grow. Hard to clean as well, so we do understand this is forgotten. Just have a sip from the running tap and you will know ;-) It all/ the room looks like it is new, just redecorated. To our opinion it could have some finishing touches to make it more perfect. Make it more warm would be our advise. Breakfast in the morning was great! No complains at all. This is organized in a warm looking room. Great coffee! We would definitely recommend this clean hotel if you need to visit this area/city. The people who work here do an honest job with a personal touch. We like that! I think they like it there as well.

The hotel is located in the northern part of the Netherlands. There are relatively few Chinese people. The hotel is a pure business hotel. Breakfast is 6:30-11:00, but some business people go to the restaurant to talk about things at 9:00. It is busy during the day and the restaurant is great at night. The price is not expensive, and the characteristic is that it is only 32 minutes away from Venice in the Netherlands: Giethoorn is only 32 minutes, it is worth staying, ting c

Great location, great service, great breakfast, great rooms, quiet even if close to railway station (200 m). Only small issue is the limited number of parking slots.

We booked the culinary package and it did not disappoint. The dinner and service is truly 5 star. Breakfast is delicious. All staff are wonderfully competent and friendly and happy. The hotel location and decoration is 5 star. Our superior room was excellent. The wellness facility is spotless and beautiful though could do with a pool or a hot tub. This is our favourite hotel and food experience in the Netherlands
