Outstanding little Hotel!! I loved every moment of my stay! Room was clean with an outstanding canal front balcony. Restaurant was superb and staff very friendly.
Quaint,beautiful view on the canal with a bridge - like a postcard of an old Freisian town Rooms modern and spotless - A little small perhaps. Staff is 20 out of 10 .Stayed 4 days in this lovely place. Best of the many places we stayed during our 17 days in the Netherlands..
Wonderful hotel on the canal. Rooms over a restaurant (but make reservations for the restaurat). Short walk toi the historic center of Franker, plenty of excellent restuarats in the square and surrounding streets. Older property but wih modern ammenities. Free parking a few blocks away. Wonderful breakfast.

Fint, rent værelse med god plads. Venligt personale, søde og hjælpsomme
Personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Kamer zag er spik en span uit. Het eten overheerlijk en bijzonder. Ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid en vers. Was echt genieten in Franeker
Belangrijk:
Mooie ruime schone kamer.
Tv deed het niet, hadden we ook niet nodig maar werd volgende dag hersteld. Tip: voor zo’n mooie ruime kamer zou een lekker zitbankje beter zitten dan deze 2 rechte stoelen.
Kortom, een aanrader
Rummet luktade mögel handdukar luktade illa även dricksglas luktade mögel.
Rummet trevigt läge.
God mat på restaurangen och god frukost.
Personalen trevliga.
Sehr schön gelegen. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Frühst ück lecker. Zimmer sauber.

Oskäligt brant trappa
Rummen ligger en våning upp och trappan är extremt brant. Vi fick bära ner vår hund. Hotellet accepterar djur men det bör framgå att hundar måste bäras i trappan, vilket är rent av farligt i en sådan brant trapp. Tveksamt att äldre personer klarar trappan. (Trappa/stege.)
Prima even wennen om buitenom te gaan voor het ontbijt. En misschien pretiig om aan te geven dat er geen lift is voor de kamers boven

Dejligt lille hotel med et personale, der går udover alle grænser hvad angår service, smilende og imødekommende.
Bestil bord i restauranten i weekenden, så du er sikker på at få plads, men ualmindelig lækker og velsmagende mad både til morgen og aften.
I forhold til værelset og at have hund med, opgrader jeres værelse og skriv i skal have værelse i stue etagen, trapper er forfærdelige stejle og døren ud til bliver først låst op sent om morgenen, så man er henvist til at benytte en stejl og åben ståltrappe.
Værelset var ok, ok størrelse men for mig var serviceniveauet og personalet, absolut grunden for at jeg gerne kommer igen.
