From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff was absolutely fantastic. We were warmly welcomed and immediately given a detailed explanation about the city, including important guidelines regarding restricted traffic areas, boat rentals, suggested routes, and the main attractions to visit. Their guidance made a huge difference in how smoothly our trip went. Breakfast was another highlight—everything was fresh and delicious, especially the homemade bread, which was simply outstanding. One particularly thoughtful gesture was that the hotel kindly allowed us to leave our car parked there (even after the check-out) while we explored the area, which made everything so much easier and stress-free. The Wi-Fi connection was fast and reliable. Overall, it was a truly memorable experience, and I would gladly return!

Nothing to report.

Easy to find and parking available. Warm welcome by host who took us to the room and carried a suitcase. Room was generous in size, comfortable bed, kettle available, wardrobe ample to store clothing. Breakfast is self-service with a variety of choices and a machine to make your own tea/coffee. Outside seating available on good days, but be aware of midges. Cheap food options for dinner, fairly basic food. Walk to the centre of Giethoorn 10 minutes, advice available to book a boat trip.

Steep outside staircase, which is a bit slippery on rainy days. Being asked to pay immediately as we arrived.

Very welcoming and helpful staff. Very comfortable clean & spacious room . Good parking . Very good breakfast. Just a short distance to the waterways and Giethoorn village with is beautiful picturesque houses and landscape.

It was a little bit expensive. It was called the old forge where they made things from iron in the past . but there was nothing in the hotel to do with the an old forge or iron making which would have give it more character .

I had the opportunity to stay at this hotel with my partner and we made a great choice! The hotel is comfortable, clean, has a beautiful view from the room, close to the city center. The hotel attendant is very helpful and friendly, he gave us lots of tips on interesting places to visit, tours around the city, among others. The breakfast is very tasty and there are many options. In general, the hotel is simple, but it met our expectations. We definitely recommend this hotel!

We like everything about this hotel!

The hotel is just a few minutes walk from the major scenery area of Giethoorn. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable. It seems the hotel was renovated recently. The bathroom utensils are of famous brand. The hotel is a 2-storey building with rooms at the upper floor and a restaurant at the lower. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The breakfast is good with many choices, the dinner is delicious. The owner of the hotel is kind and helpful. He introduced us the scenery areas worth visiting and showed us the routes to them. When he Knew that we had to catch up the train at Steenwijk to airport in the morning of check out, he offered us a drive to Steenwijk train station. What a kind host!

location is great, breakfast is good but not many options. our family has 4, had to book one 3 person room and 2 person room, but that 3 person's room has enough space, if owner can rearrange the layout, it could be more efficient for 4 person family. we had dinner in facility, it is really good, and I noticed a lot dinner customers are locals, atmosphere is good.

This was the perfect place for our group of 7 to stay for the night. The hosts were so helpful when we arrived and gave us a really helpful run down of the area. We loved being able to visit the city after the crowds left, and it was nice because the location was perfect and walkable. The rooms were also bigger than we expected.

We have traveled a lot and stayed in many hotels so far, but this hotel truly offers a whole different level of service. With its friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and close proximity to the city center, I definitely recommend it. When it comes to cleanliness, it’s flawless.

Warm welcoming, family friendly, family restaurant, tasty food, location.. etc. really loved the place.

Nothing; just wondering why some would give negative review for paying upfront.. you are paying anyway, right? The stairs might be an issue for some but the host offer you help if you would like so.

The location of the hotel is perfect for us, walking distance to interest spots, not crowded or noisy, but still very convenient. The room is spotless clean. The owner is super friendly. We had dinner and breakfast there, everything exceed our expectations.
