"Van der Valk Leeuwarden exceeded our expectations. The hotel is modern, elegant, and beautifully maintained. Our room was spotless, spacious, and comfortable. The staff were welcoming, professional, and attentive from check-in until departure. Breakfast offered a wide selection of fresh, high-quality food. The facilities were excellent, and the overall atmosphere felt luxurious yet relaxing. We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again."
"We only stayed here one night on our way to North Holland, but we can clearly see the quality of the hotel. The bar/restaurant is very fun and enjoyable."
"It was SO hot when we were in the Netherlands, so our large, cool room with a nice big bathroom was just what we needed after driving up from Amsterdam! The staff were lovely and very helpful. It was also great to be able to go downstairs and have such a delicious dinner. The breakfast was pretty good also. It's a good location if you want a bigger hotel experience while exploring this part of the country. The parking building is slightly confusing, so make sure you get good instructions for getting back to your car, and if you have a lot of luggage unload it at the hotel's front desk before you park. It's a nearby building but it's just easier that way."
"We arrived late but the keyless system worked well
Very central with nice bars close. Room was modern, spacious and had great air conditioning
On the Main Street but vey quiet at night
We are just rebooking as offers great value for money"
"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."
"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 theyāll get swallowed up by the beds separating, haha."
"Spent 3 nights with my family in this wonderful accommodation. Great location, easy to get anywhere in Drachten, while being is a safe, secluded place for a quiet sleep, with horses grazing at a distance in front of your panorama window. Super clean, well equipped, kitchen, bathrooms, living room, bedrooms, everything worked, especially the air conditioning was a blessing during the tropical nights! Very friendly host, accommodating to all our needs. To be repeated."
