I wasn't expecting a lot from this property given it was so cheap. It met my expectations in that it was a simple, clean place to stay for a night. What was unexpected was a noise like a chainsaw coming from - I think - the bathroom when someone was using the shower. Things were a little chaotic leaving and collecting my luggage but the staff were helpful. Ok for a night but wouldn't have wanted to stay any longer.

Quiet property within a quiet neighbourhood. It's a short walk to the train station where you can connect easily to other towns and cities across The Netherlands. Clean bathroom and sleeping quarters. Would recommend staying here as the base for sleeping and then using the train station for exploring other areas.

The place exceeded our expectations. Lawrence is a first class host. The place is really quirky and well worth the money. Leeuwarden is just a fantastic base in the north of the country and we made a visit to one of the Wadden Islands with a two hour ferry journey which was splendid.

The hotel has been a family business for 60plus years and it shows jn the personal care and attention to detail. Customer satisfaction is the aim of the owners/managers. For an economical rate this is the place to stay in Leeuwarden!

I stayed at the Anker a few times after my apartment was sold. Not only was it the most economical option for private rooms in Leeuwarden, but also for all of Nederland. Amenities vary by room type, but had a good stay in all the room types I tried. Excellent location in the center of Ljouwert.

The facility was modest but unique. Reception staff not well informed. Some mixed communication took place which was unfortunate, but difficult to pin down whose responsibility it was. Otherwise, great place to stay.

Just a simple little dorm room for me. No bells and whistles. All I needed. I suppose it would’ve been nice if they made the bed, but that’s my only negative.

Room was really warm, which was strange as it was only 26 degrees outside. Hotel is old and appears not upgrades for over 25 Years. Noisy in the sense that you hear and feel people walking in the hallway or adjecent rooms. Breakfast was ok for the price we paid (5 euro per person).
