Categories

Cleanliness
5.8
Multiple reports of insects (mosquitoes, possible bedbugs), a few rooms described as smelling or unclean, and poorly maintained bathrooms; several mentions of missing towels and broken fittings affecting perceived cleanliness.
Service
9.3
Consistently praised staff: friendly, helpful reception and personnel; staff made efforts to resolve issues and offered alternative rooms when problems arose.
Location
9.2
Very strong recurring positive: central location, pleasant waterfront/terrace area, excellent for cyclists (large bike garage), described repeatedly as a main reason guests enjoyed their stay.
Room Quality
5.6
Many comments about old or basic rooms, awkward bathroom layouts, noise and poor soundproofing, rooms looking onto a wall, hot rooms or noisy AC/fan, and occasional unpleasant odors — beds often OK but overall room finish and comfort are inconsistent.
Amenities
5.4
Frequent mentions of missing small amenities (no coffee machine/kettle, no hairdryer, lack of hooks/towel holders, no hand towels). Positive note for bike parking/garage, but general in-room amenities are lacking.
Value for Money
6.6
Mixed perceptions: some call it a 'prima prijs' for a basic room while others note issues (unexpected extra charge on arrival, poor room/bathroom condition) that reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast and food are frequently praised ('ontbijt prima', 'lekker eten'), though there is at least one comment about a poor kitchen — overall F&B is a strength, especially breakfast.
Overall Experience
8.8
Overall mixed but leaning positive: many guests enjoyed location, friendly staff and breakfast leading to good stays; however several serious negatives (insects, poor bathrooms, maintenance issues) affected some stays, even causing an early departure in one case.

Pros:

L'emplacement au centre-ville. La chambre assez vaste. L'amabilité du personnel. Vaste garage à vélos (enfin des hôteliers conscients du potentiel touristique des voyageurs à vélo)

Cons:

Comme souvent dans les centres-ville, jeunes bruyants la nuit. Manque d'insonorisation des chambres. Escaliers assez raides (mais cela semble la norme aux Pays-Bas.

we hebben genoten van ons verblijf in Dokkum
Pros:

Aardige ontvangst en goede zorg.

Cons:

ik had 2 aparte bedden besteld, maar tot onze schrik was het 1 groot bed. Het bed was op zich prima, maar ik slaap, als ik met een vriendin op pad ga, toch liever in een eenpersoonsbed.

Ligging was goed. Helaas voor ons geen tweede keer op deze locatie.
Pros:

De ligging

Cons:

Oude kamer, geen koffieapparaat en haardroger aanwezig. Hadden er wel moeten zijn. Geen haakjes om handdoeken op te hangen. Veel last van vliegen

Nicht zu empfehlen wegen einer Reihe von erheblichen Unannehmlichkeiten.
Pros:

Leider entsprach das Hotel nicht unseren Erwartungen. Das bezieht sich vor allem auf die vielen Mücken und wohl auch Wanzen, die uns in der Nacht sehr plagten....
Das sog. Badezimmer ist wohl eher eine Zumutung...
Wir sind deshalb früher abgereist.
Das Personal hat sich dagegen viel Mühe gegeben und ist nicht zu beanstanden.

Cons:

s.o.

De locatie was geweldig.

Cons:

De kamer keek op een muur. Kon ook niet gewijzigd. Geen koffieapparaat of waterkoker. Beetje jammer.

Hotel met 100 gebreken.
Pros:

De ligging maar daarmee is ook alles gezegd.

Cons:

De kamers. Dit is geen hotel waardig. Enkel de bedden waren ok maar de badkamer...wat was mij dat. De wc stond in het midden. In de douche moest je zijdelings instappen anders niet mogelijk. Wij hebben ons een andere kamer gevraagd. Iets beter maar niet te beschrijven. Onze airco was net geen grasmaaier. 1 lampje was nog in werking. De ramen konden niet open. 35 graden op de kamer. Betreft de veiligheidsnormen zeker niet in orde. In België sluiten we zoiets. Ben ik streng? Zeker niet.
