Hotel Giethoorn

“A great stopover....”

..this hotel is right on the Giethoorn canals, excellent location, room was clean albeit a bit small, but with a kettle which always helps. Bars and resaurants nearby, which are excellent.

..this hotel is right on the Giethoorn canals, excellent location, room was clean albeit a bit small, but with a kettle which always helps. Bars and resaurants nearby, which are excellent. Couldn't hire a boat for some reason, but got another from somewhere else. Breakfast is OK, if you, like me, want a cooked breakfast you're limited to mashed eggs and streaky bacon. Staff were very helpful. I had no trouble with the check-in despite it being automated, parking, if your lucky and have a average sized car you can park outside the hotel, otherwise you can park free in the hotel's boatyard which is at least 7/8mins walk away.

“More of a hostel than a hotel”

To us this hotel feels like something between a hotel and a hostel. It doesn't look very welcoming, it has very basic rooms and the buildings and immediate surroundings look like they need a bit of a spruce up.

To us this hotel feels like something between a hotel and a hostel. It doesn't look very welcoming, it has very basic rooms and the buildings and immediate surroundings look like they need a bit of a spruce up. You check in, and out, using a terminal, there is no reception desk, and there is only staff around occasionally. If you have any questions you will have to contact the hotel by phone or by pressing a button on the check-in terminal. Instead of a key card you use a code to enter your room which didn't feel entirely safe. The rooms are quite adequate, the luxury rooms are more "rustic" than luxurious. The regular rooms are smaller but seem to be newer. We were fortunate enough to get rooms with AC (thanks to the lovely woman from the hotel who helped us check in when we arrived early). Without AC the rooms would have been unbearably hot. The rooms were clean with nice showers, and the luxury room had bath products from Rituals. The beds were good, but had green plastic mattress covers, which I am not a big fan of. The restaurant was closed, and only served breakfast, it was basic but did have poffertjes, which was a nice surprise. All in all it was fine for one night but we wouldn't come back.

“Hotel Gietthorn”

The room and price for the stay was satisfactory. The check in process is done via a kiosk and did not work for us. I had all my information needed but it would not process.

The room and price for the stay was satisfactory. The check in process is done via a kiosk and did not work for us. I had all my information needed but it would not process. We stood in the rain and wind for 20 mins trying to get the info for our room. Also, although we had paid before hand there was an add'l fee that we had to pay at this kiosk which I am not sure what was for. You speak to someone via kiosk but they cut out and you are unable to ask questions. The room was clean and nice. The breakfast staff were very kind and helpful but stated were not part of hotel.
