Prinsenhof

This delightful hotel is a small with less than 40 in a complex of old buildings. Our room on the top floor was spacious and very enjoyable for us who really like old buildings. We loved everything about it and the exceptionally large bathroom. The bathtub was the longest and in the most beautiful and spacious settings that I have ever seen. Unfortunately, we never use bathtubs. The shower was also nice but not as special. Our window view was over an exceptionally beautiful garden in the old traditional French stile. Unfortunately, we visited it a month early, before all things start blooming. The bed was large and soft, which I prefer. The staff is helpful and nice in all ways. The breakfast is also God, but not special. In all it is a perfect hotel fore those who love beautiful old houses.

We are regular customers here because usually we like it, but after my last stay I am not sure I will return. So apparently the hotel has a ventilation system which is supposed to turn off at 11:00 o’clock in the evening. As it says it is a ventilation system and therefore it makes quite some noise. You obviously don’t notice it that much during daytime or at least it’s not really disturbing, but there is obviously a reason why they usually turn it off at night time. It is the second time now within a couple of months that I have been there and it didn’t turn off. Which means you have a constant noise at night time in your room. They can’t do anything about it at the front desk. The only thing you can do is wait till the next day and just don’t get any sleep. Last time they were at least quite apologetic about it. This time I had to mention it when checking out. Their only response was that they will check it today. Really great so the next guests can sleep in silence. I have to say I was pretty surprised by the ignorance of the staff.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful immaculately presented, the rooms are very good and big, the single beds are more like small double and very soft and comfortable. The only slight thing I would suggest is reducing the valet parking price as I thought it was a bit steep.

Amazing hotel with lots of history and perfect location , even more amazing are the staff and attention to detail , we have been coming a number of years and has always been perfect

My husband and I traveled from the US to the Netherlands and spent a few days in Amsterdam before heading north to Groningen. We were there to attend the Netherlands vs Malta soccer match. We absolutely loved staying at the Hotel Prinsenhof. The staff was so welcoming and the atmosphere is gorgeous. The gardens outside the hotel are so well kept and beautiful to walk around and enjoy. The breakfast at the hotel had the most delicious pastries. If you ever get the chance to stay at this hotel please do. It was a one of a kind destination.

I stayed here for three nights on a midweek package booked directly with the hotel. That deal included one dinner and breakfast each day. Such was the quality of the hotel and staff I will admit to checking my rate . It was incredible value. The hotel is to a very high standard and my room (an upgrade) large and full of light. Everything, down to the included mini bar and the toiletries was of a very good standard. Even if I had not been on a promotional rate I doubt if I would have been disappointed. If there was any issue with my room it might be the design. I’m no fan of bathrooms next to the entry to the room but it was a small point. There was a fancy Nespresso machine in the room which took me a while to figure out how it switched on. I’m not sure that simplicity might not have benefits in choosing machines for in the room. Breakfast is good and the staff lovely. Again good quality abounds and don’t miss the home made smoothies. Only one thing might be worthy of thought. As everywhere a coffee machine provides the beverages. This one at least worked well and produced good coffee but at busy times at breakfast the queue for coffee can build up. In the evening the restaurant was busy, the chefs menu was good, although the amount of food might have made some unhappy. Note that the chefs menu only changes every couple of months so you’re probably not going to eat here on more than one night. Wines and spirits are well priced as well. The serving staff, mainly young men, are certainly energetic in their endeavors hastily going about their work. Is it TV Reality shows that have convinced us that kitchens and serving crews ‘perform’ in an intense competitive way providing us with some room theatre? Personally I miss the calm of wait staff of the past, but that may be showing my age. The hotel does things that many no longer do. Real newspapers in the breakfast room, a full hotel guide/information book and wonderful robes. If you are visiting the city as a tourist while the hotel is not close to the station it is in the prettiest part. Many of your best photos of your trip are going to be taken in the area around the hotel. It is a charming area. I’ve visited many hotels in the Netherlands over the past few years. This one isn’t just #1, it’s in a different league. As for cost if you think that your budget isn’t going to run to this property at least check. You might be pleasantly surprised.
