A charming heritage property in a quiet but central location, 10 mins walk from the station (beware of the lifting bridge if you have a train to catch) and less than 5 mins walk from the main shopping / business area. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and I loved that I could sleep with the windows open and not be disturbed by street noise. I missed breakfast as I was partaking in a parkrun nearby, but check-out is 11am so plenty of time to come back for a shower. There was a lovely courtyard garden where I enjoyed a delicious brunch.

I wouldn’t say I didn’t like it but, as with most Dutch houses, the stairs are very steep and you might need more than one trip up & down to take stuff to your room.

We stayed for 2 nights as we wanted to run the Zegerplas parkrun and the hotel was in a very good location, We stayed on the second floor and the room was large and had a very comfy bed and a table and chairs, plus windows that open! There was a coffee machine, but personally I prefer a kettle to boil water for my tea! Would be good to have a fridge and there is no safe. The shower was great but the bathroom lights are on a motion sensor which meant they turned off when we were having a shower, so we had to get out to reactivate them. It also means if you visit the loo in the night, they come on and illuminate the bedroom. Little things. The absolute best bit about the hotel was the evening meal we had there. It was delicious, and the restaurant was full of locals enjoying themselves. I loved every bit of that meal. If you are parkrunners it is an easy journey by bus to get to the park. You won't be disappointed.

no kettle, no fridge, no safe.

On a cross country cycle trip and found this lovely hotel to spend the night in. The room was fabulous, we kept commenting how stylish and cozy it was. The staff were attentive, and the restaurant space is bright and cheerful. We were well rested to bike 60 miles the next day! The town is small and sleepy but we did find an excellent Indonesian take away shop down the street for dinner.

Lovely friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere and full of character. Food at the hotel was fantastic - lovely evening meal and tasty good value breakfast! Generally great value for money.

No lifts. We weren't able to get a ground floor room and had to climb 2 flights of very steep stairs with very heavy cases. My 77 year old friend had to negotiate the stairs on her bottom for fear of falling. One member of staff refused to help with heavy cases, but all others were very helpful.

The Stadsherberg is located practically in the centre of Alphen aan den Rijn, very close to a multitude of shops. A relatively new hotel with an enormous charm, warmth and very friendly staff. We've never before stayed in this town, and I absolutely recommend Stadsherberg as the place to stay. Our room was spacious and we had a veranda. The room had a separate toilet and a bathroom with a great walk-in shower. Bed was very OK, we slept very well, decorations cozy and sweet, breakfast was fabulous too, it was just perfect!

Nothing that I didn't like. The only thought I had....people with disabilities would not be able to reach the rooms, I didn't see an elevator.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was immaculate. We were on the second floor and the room was quite quirky, but very comfortable, with lots of attention to detail. There was a lovely sized bathroom with an excellent monsoon shower and nice quality toiletries. Coffee and water was available in the room and staff provided extra milk when we asked for it. The hotel is situated on a side street, only a short walk from the town centre.

The door to the room needed planing on the bottom - you had to shove it to get into the room! Visitors should be aware that the stairs are quite steep and narrow. This wasn’t a problem for us, but older guests with limited mobility may struggle.

Beautiful property. Great decor. Amazing staff. Dinner was exceptional. I would happily return to this property again. Cute little town. 3km from Zegerplas parkrun.

So I had a 18kg bag and was on the top floor. One of the staff helped me to my room but it was a real struggle to carry it down when I was checking out. Took me way too long to realise the bathroom light was movement triggered; I searched forever to find the switch. This meant it also turned off whilst I was in the shower- I had to get out and wave under the sensor! Loo roll is miles away from the toilet- couldn’t reach haha.

Location, a short walk from the main part of the town

Had to pay €20 on arrival, because when I booked a double room, I made an error by not putting 2 guests. I immediately emailed to explain and was my booking ammended. I didn't expect an additional charge because the price was the same with 2 guests as I'd checked earlier before I made the booking. The person who checked me in said it was €20 to cover extra cleaning. I was furious.

The fresh bakery-breakfast was served to me, to my choice and with speed but care, kindness and thoughtfulness for my needs. At request, they included the delicious speculaas (Dutch spiced) cake from the salon window cake stand and barista standard cafe lattes. Lovely, belle époque decor there and in the bedroom, with the best ever pillows and cushions that made even the wooden chairs a pleasure to sit on. Real Spanish tiles in the bathroom broadcast a recent and meticulous renovation.

Ones own kettle rather than the coffee machine because it gives one ownership of the coffee making process ie., we are living in the room and need this normalising, 'home' activity. But many so-called luxe hotels do not even have a machine so of course it was still appreciated.

The staff are really nice people, helpful and appeared happy in their work. The property is an interesting and tastefully decorated old building. I will probably use it again on my next visit to the Netherlands.

The TV in my room did not work from the remote control, I did not bring this to their attention though as I had entertainment on my smart phone, I was out and about a lot anyway.
