The hotel has been a family business for 60plus years and it shows jn the personal care and attention to detail. Customer satisfaction is the aim of the owners/managers. For an economical rate this is the place to stay in Leeuwarden!

I stayed at the Anker a few times after my apartment was sold. Not only was it the most economical option for private rooms in Leeuwarden, but also for all of Nederland. Amenities vary by room type, but had a good stay in all the room types I tried. Excellent location in the center of Ljouwert.

The facility was modest but unique. Reception staff not well informed. Some mixed communication took place which was unfortunate, but difficult to pin down whose responsibility it was. Otherwise, great place to stay.

Just a simple little dorm room for me. No bells and whistles. All I needed. I suppose it would’ve been nice if they made the bed, but that’s my only negative.

Room was really warm, which was strange as it was only 26 degrees outside. Hotel is old and appears not upgrades for over 25 Years. Noisy in the sense that you hear and feel people walking in the hallway or adjecent rooms. Breakfast was ok for the price we paid (5 euro per person).

This a charming place in an excellent location in an historic building, but obviously old and in rather run-down condition. The beds were good. Some simple things could make it better - like glasses in the bathroom. The room itself is charmless and I was afraid the windows might fall out when I opened them. One stays in this hotel to be in the middle of things and not to spend much time in one's room. As always in historic Dutch hotels - the steep stairs are awkward to negotiate with heavy suitcases.

Superb stay yet again.
Stayed here now on numerous occasions, rooms are great, clean tidy and a comfy bed, not much more you can ask for. Right in the heart of Leeuwarden with lots of bars nearby should you feel the need to venture out, food and beer in the bar itself is superb. Cant recommend this place enough.

Great Location; though a 'worn' hotel
Great location. Not so clean and it is worn. So value for quality was not good. Hotel was closed when we arrived (11:00 am); although note on door said they were open. Also could not reach via phone. Very basic breakfast, which is ok. However, the breakfast was not managed well; ran out of bread, croissants, etc. I had to look around to find the staff - they were sitting down eating bread and croissants!! And they were a bit put off that they had to re-stock the breakfast. Again, location was very good.

Comfortable budget lodging in a great location
The Hotel ‘t Anker is in a wonderful location in downtown Leeuwarden. The accommodation was very basic but very comfortable, and great value for the price. The staff were friendly and competent and provided safe, locked storage for bicycles – an important service!

Erika, Seattle, WA USA

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
When we booked this hotel we reserved two triple rooms because that was all that was available. I was traveling alone with three children. When we arrived we were given one triple room and one single room. This was not what we reserved. We requested a partial refund, but were denied. According to the website, there is a $40 difference in the cost of a single room and the amount we paid for a triple. Yet, when we requested a refund they said all the rooms cost the same. To make matters worse the rooms were on the opposite side of the hotel, which meant I had to put my oldest child (a teenage girl) in a room by herself in a room far away. The only way to get between the rooms was to go through a dark bar. There is no security door between the bar and the hallways that lead to the hotel rooms. This is a very bad arrangement, but particularly when a family is split up. The hotel rooms were quite old and the rooms were very noisy. It was hot and we had to sleep with the windows open. My kids received big bites all over their arms and legs. I do not recommend anyone stay at this hotel.
