Boutique Hotel Havenkantoor

Quiet corner in the Hague. Mornings you hear the gulls on the canal and an easy walk or tram ride gets you to the center of the city. The bed is exceptionally comfy and the couch/kitchen area made it easy to have our daughter over for an evening meal. The building is truly unique- your own mini-castle! Wendy checked in appropriately to see that our needs were being met.

Be warned, the spiral staircase up to the bedroom is steep; toilet is downstairs and bed is upstairs. This was unimportant for us but could be a shock for some. Did not see any evidence of breakfast- there was coffee but nothing else.

nice location, exceptional communication with helpful owner. quirky historic property. fantastic shower.

very steep spiral staircase, entirely unsuitable for some people. Toilet not on same level as bedroom. blinds not blackout. bed awkward to access. very small toilet, could be awkward for tall people with long legs.

This hotel is such a unique stay and perfect for someone who is into architecture or enjoys a bit of history. The hotel itself is laid out across two floors, so you really have a separation from your sleeping area and where you can just chill and hang out. The bathroom is pretty cool too, its basically an enclosed 'closet shower' but it is not small. They had it stocked with really great Rituals products too, and the water pressure was some of the best I've experienced in the Netherlands. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate their guests! We needed an early check-in and late check-out, and it was no problem at all. We got great recommendations on sights to see, restaurants to go to. All and all, we are going to visit again in the Spring.

I wasn't prepared for the steep stairs, so if you have mobility issues this might be a bit of a hard place for you. Despite heating, this is an older building so you will need to bundle up. I would suggest this as a perfect Spring or Autumn visit, when the weather is more temperate.

Top staff. There is everything needed for the stay; the lighting design looks stylish and professional; and the LP player is just amazing!

The sunshine is doubled by the water surface nearby, which can make the house extremely sunny in summer.
