Top Makkum Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Makkum

Post-Plaza Hotel & Grand Café

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast is amazing"

Fletcher Hotel - Restaurant De Cooghen

8/10 Good

"The room was not bad. The bathroom was clean, but the floor in the room itself wasn't (sand, dust, etc.) The bed was nice and soft. The bedding was fresh and clean. The room is very basic. No mini-fridge or kettle or anything like that. There were also things like torn wall paper and other wear-and-tear. Overall, we stayed for just one night and were quite satisfied."

Leonardo Oranje Hotel Leeuwarden

10/10 Excellent

"Though this isn't a 5-star luxury hotel, it was clear to us there are people behind Hotel Leonardo who really put the effort in with the hotel. First, the location is great, just across from the lovely main Leeuwarden train station and a moment away from the Love Fountain, with its ethereal beauty. From what I understand it is one of the 11 Fountains Project. Best to ask ahead where to find the parking entrance. Once you find this, it's great the hotel has very convenient and secure underground parking. Additional fee. Granted, the hotel is dated, but somehow I felt it was dated in a good, European kind of way. It was spotlessly clean. Our large room with comfortable king bed, good shower and large separate bath and two sinks was very well maintained and many details thought of here. The cleanliness, maintenance, comfort, amenities and great A/C during the HEATWAVE outshone any thoughts of the hotel not being totally up to date. The variety and quality of morning breakfast exceeded our expectations. The friendly woman welcoming guests each morning at breakfast made the mornings extra positive. Service in the evening for drinks was also very good, the whole dining/reception area very large and comfortable. If we had any complaint about Hotel Leonardo, I can't think of it. We had an enjoyable stay. My only regret is not being in the city long enough to enjoy all it offers, including the discovery of the miniature people I understand are hidden in many places."

Fletcher Hotel-Paleis Stadhouderlijk Hof

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and clean, the only downsides were how many random sets of stairs you have to drag your luggage up and down to get to the correct elevator if your room is in the other building. The two person bed room is really great if you want to sleep next to your partner without snuggling, as if they try they’ll get swallowed up by the beds separating, haha."

Hotel 't Heerenlogement

8/10 Good

"If you are looking for a bog standard corporate hotel this is not the place for you however if you are looking for an hotel with character and very helpful staff try this out. We were greeted by the manager who, on seeing that we were on motorbikes, very kindly opened her garage for us to store them overnight. The rooms, reached by a steep winding staircase, are a bit tired and could do with a revamp but they are clean and comfortable, as were the beds. The WiFi was good in both the rooms and the public areas. The bar was welcoming and the breakfast was very good indeed. The location was excellent, one canal away from the centre. If passing through again I would definitely stay here again."
