Not much choice indeed in this city but the hotel is good. Good staff, great food (yes, it surprised me!). Rooms are clean and spacious, and because nothing happens in Drachten, well, it's quiet at night. All good? No! Beds are just bad (way too soft) and pillows huge, so big you can't use them. Don't ask me why. So... More

We arrived after an afternoon shopping in Drachten. On arrival there was no-one at the reception and although our arrival had been noticed behind the scene, it took a little while before sombody materialised. Once we were being served, the check-in was friendly and quick. We were allocated a room on the first floor in the original part of the... More

We had obtained discount vouchers for two nights in Van der Valk Hotel Drachten. The experience was very positive. We were allocated a refurbished room on the ground floor on the North side of the building. This was very fortunate, because tropical temperatures were reached in this particular weekend; however, due to the location of the room, the room temperature... More

We stayed in this older property right after coming from my favorite new vdValk hotel Hardewijk op de Veluwe, which may account for my dissapointment. Driving up the hotel driveway and entering the reception area is far from grand, little efforts have been done to make it bright and cosy. However check-in is impeccable... we booked a package which included... More

Location is ideal-near the major arteries to two provincial capitals. Staff is friendly and helpful, both at registration and in the dining room. Layout is poor, with a considerable walk to the rooms in its connected building. Rooms are spacious and well-equpped. There's free Wi-Fi. Breakfast buffet offers a feast of choices, but it's rather pricey. The restaurant section is... More

I am a big fan of the new style vd valk hotels. Make sure you stay in the new wing with moder rooms. Hotel construction and lay out is funny and typical for vd valk. Rooms and beds are perfect. Fitness is small but good quality. Windows are not very well isolated but traffic is far away. Price-quality is very... More

Stayed in the old part of the hotel which is tired - make sure you ask for a room in the new extension. Internet connection KPN chargeable. Poor design of bath and shower screen means that floor is really wet every time. They only appear to have one iron and board and it didn't appear in 2 days. Kettle in... More

We stayed in Van der Valk Hotel in March 2007. Overall hotel is pleasant: room is a good size, new construction, with Internet connection, and TV (few channels in English such as CNN, etc). Bathroom is nice too. If you need iron or board, call the reception desk. No coffee or tea appliance. Food in hotel restaurant was fine. Menu... More
