Heerlijk bed, nog niet eerder meegemaakt, zo lekker.

Personeel was zeer vriendelijk en kamer was netjes

I didn't know what to expect but picked Leeuwarden as a central spot for exploring Friesland. It is a beautiful town that is the perfect size to get around easily. There was so much more to do here than I expected and could easily have stayed for a week or more without getting bored. It was easy to walk to great museums, restaurants and shopping.
My children highly recommended the Nature Museum which was very interactive and good for children of all ages and adults too.
We enjoyed shopping in the Blokhuispoort and taking to the artisans about their sustainability story.
We stayed at the Post Plaza Hotel and highly recommend it.
Next time, I will go in spring/summer/fall and rent a bike to explore even more. Very bike friendly city.

The city is a perfect example of how to combine the old with the new. The architecture is very nice to observe, the people are friendly, there's a lot going on on the streets so it's never boring and there are also a lot of quiet places by the canals where you can get a moment of rest. There are not a lot of things that would be specifically aimed at tourists which adds a very nice wibe as you get the sense that the atmosphere is very genuine.

Friesland is a beautiful area of the Netherlands.
Friesland is a beautiful area of the Netherlands. Leeuwarden itself is a busy tourist town with lots of things to see and lots of shops and restaurants. Like many of the surrounding villages (for example Franeker) it is full of old, historic buildings. The sea is not far away and you should definitely try a guided mud walk (wadlopen) when the tide is out.
A few kilometers to the south of Leeuwarden you will find De Alde Feanen National Park. Rent a bike in Grou and cycle along one of the many marked cycle routes.

I've only stayed two days for a conference, it wasn't sufficient to discover the town.
From what I could experience, Leeuwarden is a pleasant place with historical sites. It's great for walking and biking, has a lot of restaurants for all the tastes.
At the same time, everything is quite expensive, from accommodation to food.

This was a very charming little city, with lovely, bricklined streets, a stunning architecture, and lovely, local businesses lining broad streets with canals running down the middle. I didn't eat 'out' while I was there, I just purchased food from the various supermarkets, which provided excellent fare for a reasonable price.
This is an exceedingly easy city to get around in. The historic "core" is small and compact and easily walkable.

I went there to visit a friend.
I went there to visit a friend. I stayed on Monday night and I was told Mondays are quiet as many places close on Mondays. But I enjoyed the quiet surroundings indeed.
Yes, it is small but lovely. And it is easy to get around. Well, avoid Monday as most places close on Monday.
I don't speak Dutch, only simple English. I am worried about the trouble caused by poor communication. But the contactless check-in here saved me all the hassle. The staff enthusiastically explained all the details including check-in and check-out via WhatsApp. The house is warm and comfortable, you can cook your own meals, and the decoration is beautiful. There was a variety of drinks in the fridge (clearly priced, pay to drink) and I thought everything about this aparthotel was top notch.
The apartment is located in the city center, with many restaurants and cafes nearby. It is very clean and well maintained. Good for families with young children. 5 mins walking distance from Leeuwarden central station. And there is a market on every Friday right outside the apartment. It's our second time staying here and definitely will be back again.
Great location, quick access to the city center, good amenities, ideal spot a week long stay. Had good communication with the host, made sure I had a comfortable stay and provided nice snacks for the breakfast.
P.S. If you are a student visiting NHL Stenden, this is a perfect place
The hotel is beside a training college so staff in the hotel and in the restaurant were students from here. They were all charming and very attentive. Fabulous breakfast, but only here for one night so didn’t sample the evening restaurant.
It's one of those hotels where you check-in and out alone, but still there is somebody physically there in case you need help. And I loved the hotel shop with all the funky products. The room was also nice an comfy. No TV but good free wifi.
Staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Location was superb being in the heart of the historical centre. Lots of history in the hotel and surrounding area, it being the palace where the Royal family would stay when visiting Leeuwarden.
Great location that is central enough to have easy access to everything but not too central that there could be noise issues; very nice hotel with amazing decor and ambience; room was great with the exception of no closets or desk space.
I really liked the hotel, it changed a lot in a positive way when I last time visited. Lovely people at the hotel and all students which is amazing. Breakfast was incredible and fresh. We ate A la carte and was able to order everything.
the hotel is located on a 5 min drive or 15 minute walk from the city center!
Staff is friendly, free onsite parking, the beds are ok and the bathroom works.
It is pet friendly and one of the cheapest places to stay in the area.
Really nice hotel in a nice location in Leeuwarden. Friendly staff, they were just great. Fast WiFi. Parking available at a good rate. Overall, we really liked it and I would certainly stay here again if back in Leeuwarden.
The rooms are spacious and super secure. The location is comfortable for any plans on the city of Leeuwarden.
Although bathrooms, showers, and the kitchen are shared, it was enough room for everyone.
