Boutique Hotel Catshuis

This hotel is located right in the heart of Leeuwarden and totally lives up to all the positive reviews. The reception was warm and welcoming. Our room was spacious, the bed was big and comfy, and everything was ultra tidy. We had double windows facing the canal (a terrific view), and even though it’s in a lively area, the windows did a great job blocking out the sounds from the terrace located just outside of the hotel. In short, we slept really well. The parking garage is a short 5-minute walk from the hotel and is in every respect affordable. All in all, we absolutely loved our stay and won’t think twice about booking again should we visit Leeuwarden in the future. Highly recommended!

This is a great hotel. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and we felt they put 100% into the service. The breakfast was brilliant with choice from the menu and unlimited coffee. The eggs benedict in particular was very tasty. The room is stylish and spacious. If you stay in Leeuwarden, stay here!

Loved this hotel! The room was spacious, very clean and modern with a massive bathroom. The location was perfect, walking distance from everywhere in Leeuwarden we wanted to go to, and seconds walk from loads of bars and restaurants and shops (and overlooking the canal). There was also the Oldehove car park about 3 mins walk and the Zaailand car park about 5 mins walk (both 10 euro per day). The Zaailand had staff on duty what seemed all the time and so if you’re worried about leaving your car, go to Zaailand. The room was well sound proofed so we heard no noise at all, despite being very central. They had Rituals diffusers scattered around which made the whole place smell wonderful. The Fire cafe next door (where you collect your keys) had a great atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff and we also had our breakfast here, which was nice. The only slight negatives (am only adding so you have a full picture) is that the rooms were up 2 very steep flights of stairs and there is no lift. It was a bit hair raising with our big suitcase. So if you have walking difficulties this is probably not the place for you. Also the bathrooms are wet rooms and the way it’s set out the toilet area gets wet if you have a shower (which I hate!) Lastly the staff all belong to the Fire cafe next door and consequently there are no staff on site after closing time (between 11-12) until 830. I felt a little uneasy about this, although of course it was fine on our visit. Overall though it was a fabulous stay in a fabulous room with friendly staff to help.

We loved our stay in the Catshuis. The location is fantastic. The room is very spacious and beautifully decorated. I loved it that we had to check in next door in the cafe. The staff was very friendly and helpful and carried our heavy bag upstairs. The breakfast next door was delicious. You can basically get anything you want. Overall the stay was one of our highlights on our trip and we will come back one day.
