Broeck Oudewater

We have visited this hotel twice this year and it will be our go-to hotel from now, every time we travel back to the UK via the Hoek of Holland or Rotterdam ferries (it's just half an hour away from the ferry terminal). Broek Hotel is just so lovely and comfortable, very clean and a final special treat before returning home. The restaurant is lovely, food excellent, and is dog-friendly (as are the rooms), and the staff just so friendly. I can't recommend the place enough! Oudewater is a beautiful little town and well worth seeing. I honestly cannot fault anything, and I am thinking of having a mini-trip just to Oudewater some time, as it is worthy of being a stand-alone destination.

All the staff I met here were kind. My colleagues and I stayed here for 4 days on a business trip and staff were very friendly to us. The hotel is so beautiful, cozy and clean. The restaurant operated with the hotel is also excellent. I highly recommend this hotel!

Oudewater is a picturesque town in a pretty part of the Netherlands and the hotel was an excellent base to tour it. It’s easily accessible by car, with its own parking lot in back. A grocery store is a five minute walk away and the downtown area a ten minute stroll. The hotel offers decent e-bikes for rental and we really enjoyed using them to explore the area for two days - lots of bike trails and small country roads along canals. Our room was comfortable, with a large bathroom with a good shower. We booked a family room consisting of two connecting bedrooms and were glad we did as we were able to use the second bedroom as a luggage and storage room. There is little storage in the main room, only an armoire with five hangers. No drawers or luggage racks (or floor space for luggage racks). Not a problem for a short trip but we had a big suitcase and two carryons and would have been pretty cramped without the spare bedroom. Otherwise no complaints about the room, and it was quiet at night. The hotel has a good restaurant and a pleasant courtyard that was nice for a glass of wine at the end of the day. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming for the price - it seemed the staff was struggling to keep up with replacing items. Overall would recommend the hotel and the area. Getting outside of Amsterdam gives a very different impression of the country.
