This is my new favorite hotel in the Netherlands. The staff is very warm and welcoming, my room was ENORMOUS, the setting is a rural village and the hotel is a 19th century hospital conversion. High ceilings and classic architecture. Biggest bonus was a forest walking trail behind the hotel. This place was ideal for me and my dog! Will definitely return!

Nice environment and easy to visit if you like quiet. The Kolonie van weldadigheid, is an interesting part of history. Besides this not much to see. Breakfast is basic, but okay.

Peaceful and green

Super peaceful, rural location. Looks great for biking and hiking, though for us was just an overnight stop. Unusual conversion of a hospital into hotel. Interesting architecture, amazing LARGE windows. Very friendly and helpful service. No restaurants particularly nearby but nice to eat at the hotel and great breakfast included.

Super lekker ontbijt. Niet te uitgebreid maar de juiste keuzes en lekker vers (en biologisch dikwijls). Trap kraakt wel een beetje richting de kamers maar kan ook niet anders in deze huizen maar super netjes. Ook ruime parkeerplaats voorzien.

Hartelijk welkom in een prachtige omgeving

Hotel in een historische omgeving (Unesco erfgoed): prachtig! Hotelkamer in een gerenoveerde dienstwoning. Een heel hartelijk welkom. Eigenlijk niet gericht op zakelijke gasten (ontbijt normaal pas om 8 uur bijvoorbeeld), maar er was veel mogelijk. Het ontbijt bijvoorbeeld werd op verzoek vervroegd naar 7.15 uur. Heel fijn (verstelbaar) bed, ruime kamer, goede douche, goede spiegels en verlichting, voldoende stopcontacten en voldoende comfort terwijl de historische kenmerken onaangetast blijven. Bureau op de kamer dat groot genoeg is om aan te werken. Geen koelkast op de kamer.

Hier voel, beleef je de innerlijke rust

Een culturele sportief verblijf voor enkele dagen! Fantastisch wandelgebied met veel routes en fietsroutes van verschillende afstanden. Je maakt letterlijk onderdeel uit van de geschiedenis waar het hotel ook haar plaats in had als dokters woning. De keuken met eerlijke gerechten ui de Tuinen van Weldadigheid zijn heerlijk.

Hotel in een rustige, landelijke omgeving, uitstekend ontbijt, prima parkeergelegenheid, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, en een zeer goed restaurant. De trap naar onze kamer was erg steil met smalle treden. Geen koelkast is een minnetje.

Restaurant erg goed, hotel gedateerd/niet schoon!

Hotel is wat gedateerd en onze kamer was niet erg schoon, veel (dode)vliegen en rukte erg muf, leek erop of er de kamer langere tijd niet gebruikt was. Moest zelf dode vliegen uit het raam blazen. Restaurant deel niet hip maar eten erg goed!!

Ruim appartement, eens wat anders, De keuze in de keuken was wat beperkt, maar gezien de huidige situatie begrijpelijk. Vond de hele omgeving wel rustgevend maar ook wat creepy. Zeker ook gezien de geschiedenis van deze omgeving.

Vriendelijk & erg behulpzaam

Wij verbleven in Bitter &zoet omdat ik een operatie had in de naast gelegen hernia kliniek. Het personeel was super vriendelijk en erg behulpzaam. Ze waren op de hoogte van mijn operatie en hielpen met alles goed mee. Het eten was heerlijk!
