Top Ruinen Hotel Reviews

Kroondomein Giethoorn

Kroondomein Giethoorn

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for two nights in October, and it was really nice. The room wasnā€™t huge but had everything we needed for a short stay. The kitchen also came in useful for the rainy days where we cooked and stayed in. The view was amazing, and we really enjoyed spending time just lounging around. I would recommend not bringing huge luggage as it is a walk from where the vehicle drop-off point is to the chalet, and the bridges and streets can be hard to drag your bags on. There is also a need to clean up after yourself and throw the garbage away, but we didnā€™t use much so it didnā€™t take very long. Would definitely recommend."
