"Really fun little hotel, with super helpful staff, who took care of our every need. The larger rooms on the first floor are really great, with a bathtub in the room and nice decor. We did have a night in a second floor room also- just a bit small for us- we’ve been traveling for a while so have more stuff than someone on a weekend away- though still lovely decor and nice and quiet. We used this hotel as a base to explore the area of Friesland and were really happy with the choice."

"We are so grateful for the warm welcome we were shown here. The room and breakfast were excellent but most of all we felt truly cared for and it was a highlight of our trip! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the area and helping us with not only finding dinner but also hints to our ancestry!"

"Het vakantiepark is voorzien van woningen die direct aan het water liggen en voorzien van aanlegsteigers. Vanaf hier kun je vissen. Je vangt ook vis.
Op het park is het erg rustig en voor waterliefhbbers het ultieme. In Akkrum is niets te beleven. Wel enkele restaurants. Bakker,slager en supermarkt ook aanwezig."

"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."
Nautisch de Luxe 6p - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 6
8/10 Good
"Das Ferienhaus ist modern, hat sehr bequeme Betten und liegt perfekt um die schöne Gegend zu erkunden. Ein bisschen Abzug gab es von uns nur, da die Beschreibung "brandneu" nicht zutreffend ist und die Ausstattung des z.B. Bestecks etwas dürftig war und es im Badezimmer keine Abdunklung gab, sodass das Nachbarhaus direkt ins Bad schauen kann. Wir haben zum Check in leider keine Hausnummer genannt bekommen und mussten an den Häusern den Code des Schlüsselkastens ausprobieren. Das ging aber nicht nur uns so. Das Haus ist aber sehr schön und wir würden dort auch wieder Urlaub machen."
"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 they’ll 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."
"I stumbled upon this place on Expedia while playing a high-stakes game of "where am I driving next in the Netherlands," and it turned out to be the ultimate win. Hands down the best hotel of my trip so far! The place was so clean I’m pretty sure you could eat your breakfast off the floor (though I used the table like a civilized human).
The absolute highlight? Watching the Dutch squad take on Japan in the World Cup right there in the hotel, cheering alongside the locals. The room itself was immaculate and the bed was dangerously comfortable. A massive shoutout to the rockstar at the front desk—she was incredibly sweet when I arrived, and somehow just as impossibly chipper and helpful when I checked out the next morning. 10/10, would absolutely stay again!"
