Hotel de Gulden Leeuw

Perfect for our needs. Friendly and helpful staff. We liked the authenticity of the place in a lovely charming small town.

The hotel is at the very centre of the city, has its own restaurant.

We were “lucky” to get a room above their kitchen, it should not have been offered as a hotel room at all! All the smells were immediately getting into the room. And in the evening it was fried fish or something like that. In the morning you wake up to the smell of baked bread. Still very strong. Even with closed windows and running airconditioning. The room has absorbed all the smells and no tricks would help.

Friendly. Welcome change from soulless chain hotel night before. Exellent restaurant, far better than comparative dish previous night. Old fashioned but very genuine. Decent aircon in bedroom. Middle of a lively little town

Only point Very steep staircase.

The location is in the center of town, near historic buildings and has a nice bar/restaurant downstairs. Breakfast was good and the staff was very welcoming and helpful.

The train station is a bit outside the center and a walk is only fine when the weather is good.

The place was really nice and clean and people super welcoming. You also have a free parking next door, which is pretty handy.Also the restaurant is pretty good and tasty.

The bedding needs to be renewed, mattress and pillow were really uncomfortable.

Excellent location right on the main squareGood air conditioning.Quiet room at back of hotel - no noise at all.Good breakfast with hot and cold options, ordered from a menu the night before.Good bike storage in locked room about 100m down a side road from the hotel.Nice reception staff.

Biggest negative was the 32 steep narrow stairs to our attic room. Rooms 7,8,9,10 are all top floor attic rooms.Our room only had one tiny window up high (and another in the bathroom); felt very closed in with no outlook at all.Wi-Fi dropped out.No refrigerator in room.Took almost 5 minutes to get hot water in the shower, and then at low pressure.

The room was large, with a good sized bathroom which is exceptionally clean and modern. The staff from check in to check out were incredibly helpful and friendly and very patient with our lack of Dutch. The restaurant food was excellent, well cooked and well presented and very filling. Also the breakfasts generous. We would recommend to friends and family.

The stairs to the rooms are steep, but a great workout! The other rooms are not as steep only the top two. We were glad to get a room here and its very popular so we think it was the last one available.

Very nice place with good food. Breakfast was ordered in the evening and served individually at the table. Great idea.Location right next to the market place made it so easy to see the town.

This is a beautiful old house so unfortunately the stairs are very steep and there is no elevator.

Great breakfast! Comfy beds, fluffy towels. Inroom koffie station

We left before regular breakfast time, but a nice breakfast/lunch bag was prepared for each of us.

I was on a two week cycle tour of the Netherlands and wanted to stay in good value traditional Dutch accommodation. The Gulden Leeuw did not disappoint. Beautiful location in the centre of town surrounded by historic buildings and close to a harbour and canal network. Comfortable and quiet room, compact bathroom with a good shower and a radiator to dry my cycle clothes . Good Wi-Fi throughout. A lovely restaurant attached where I had a substantial evening meal ( paid separately) as well as my breakfast which came within the price. There was secure parking for my cycle ina nearby garage owned by the hotel.All the staff were friendly and hospitable. I thoroughly recommend an overnight stay at this hotel and the beautiful town of Workum. Very good value compared to some hotels I had stayed in on my cycle tour.

plenty of stairs to get to my room, but this is a historic building so I would expect nothing less and it didn’t detract from my overall impression of the hotel.

friendly, clean, warm, location, period property

Nice and cosy clean hotel with good service and very friendly staff for a very reasonable price.

Bed mattress was quite soft

You could also reserve the room with half pension, which is a nice option to consider. The food was good and the breakfast was nice. So, I would stay here again if I travel through.

We were staying there as sailors for the Dutch Youth Regatta. The fact that they go an extra mile and not only supply a breakfast but also help in preparing a lunch sandwich package for on the water is simply awesome. Very friendly staff and great restaurant.

All was great! Some room to hang your wet wetsuits for example would have been nice, but we managed. Our room need a small flight of stairs to climb which was not ideal but again we managed fine.

Very located in the center of the village, on the market street.You can walk and see all the traditional boats.

You had to book everything you wanted for breakfast the night before. This didn't feel very "generous".

Nice place, really friendly staff & management, calling on the way, that kitchen is going to close, in case i hadNot eaten.Looking forward to my next visit!

Very nice staff. Give me a vegan option at breakfast. Great atmosphere. Room was big. Cute little village. Parking free close by.
