Cons -
- This visit my larger room was down the road in an annex. The room was cold on arrival with heating turned off but warmed up after a couple of hours.
- Awkward small en-suite. At least one UK TV channel would have been nice. Disappointing continental breakfast.
- Free parking was a bit far away from the property, absence of a safety deposit box to store valuables and laptop

Great location in the town centre by the canal. Good evening meal on site and attentive staff
Single room a bit basic but adequate and good value. Could have benefited from a fan as the weather was very hot. Limited street parking nearby
Very central location, very good breakfast and diner.
A lot of stairs
Beautiful apartment, very spacious. Great location. Staff very friendly and helpful.
The town is beautiful. The location along the canal has a tranquil scene over the water. The family room is fantastic with windows facing the canal and is spacious.
The double rooms are outdated with facilities. Parking is about 5 minutes walk.
I never had time to use the restaurant as our tour group provided all meals and local travel. But I would have liked to eat on the beautiful outside terrace looking over the canal.Location was excellent, within walking distance of everything in the beautiful town of Dokkum.Dokkum is a very friendly place, lots of history, culture, beauty.

Location & look of hotel is great, including rhe sidewalk cafe. Breakfast was very good with friendly staff and the food & drinks were all refilled on time which was nice. Breads, fruits, meats, cheeses, all was fjne at breakfast. We found paid street parking near hotel, Sunday free parking. We had room in very nearby buiding.. No lift, not a problem, but 4th floor room could be problem for some. Good beds and good nights sleep. Room was clean but a bit cold, but very good quality wool blankets were in the closet!
Room was smaller than expected. Room was cold and heating could be better. Bathroom was very small, actually too small. Room could use some decoration to make it feel cozy. TV mounted to the side not in easy viewing direction.
Such a lovely hotel in great location next to the canal. Have stayed a number of times over many years and they always have something wonderful to eat and cater for my vegan diet.
Very friendly staff , very clean and the location was perfect

Big room comfortable bed Good viewGood breakfast
Lovely hotel in a lovely location. I have stayed here often and always found it terrific. Evening meal was lovely.
It's my fault but i didn't tell them in advance that i was vegan so the choices were limited this time. In the past they have surpassed my expectations when they provided lots of breakfast options.
The location is great. Right in the middle of town. The breakfast is awesome!
The shower is a bit tight...when taller than 170..you might need to sit down to wash up.

Location was great and so was dinner. Staff were extremely helpful and spoke English. Bedroom had a desk with seat perfect for a laptop and following up on work emails.
Room facilities were sufficient but could do with updating. For example, no shower curtain in my room and my room key was temperamental.
In a great spot in central Dokkum, a lovely bar/ breakfast room & a garage for bikes
Location was excellent, breakfast was great, service was very good , staff very accommodating.
check-in was ok. Our room was not located in the hotel but a few houses next to it. This was very quiet, with a little garden, very quiet with view over the water.
parking was not near the hotel, but 500 meters away, no charge. In Dokkum not unusual, but we had not read about it while booking.
