“ Fantastic place to stay and to eat (cold La Chouffe on tap!) The room was great, cool amd easy access (steep stairs but door on the street which made it an easy in-&out for us! ”

- Laura Stevens -

“ A small, cozy family hotel located in the charming center of the old town of Workum. The restaurant is on the ground floor, and the hotel rooms are on the first and second floors (accessible via a steep staircase). I had a simple but otherwise fine room on the first floor. It was clean, equipped with a good coffee machine, and had a comfortable bed. In front of the hotel, overlooking the market square, there's also a lovely terrace (perfect for enjoying a refreshing beer). The staff were also very friendly and hospitable. ”

“ We had an excellent dinner, and the breakfast was also satisfactory. The room had a perfectly adequate shower and toilet, and a comfortable bed. It's a shame the current owner sold it on October 20, 2025. ”
