I read 1 or 2 earlier reviews, suggesting it was a bit tired and dowdy. Ignore them. Die Port van Cleve oozes charm and character. It is an old Dutch house with not a lot of space, but everything is done very well. Great staff, fine food, comfy room, enviable location in this brilliant historic town. (If you want a modern, spacious hotel, go find one and stay there!). But you'd be missing out on lovely memories at this hotel.

40 hours wasn't long enough to find any faults, and I'm sure it could be a bit quiet for some people, but livelier places are close at hand, and you can then come back 'home' to this charming place.

The location is fabulous - right in the old part of town with restaurants galore and with a beautiful terrace bar overlooking a canal with beautiful sailing yachts. The breakfast, which was included, was copious and beautifully served. The rooms are small and very basic but comfortable. Steps to the upper floors are a bit challenging but there is an elevator.

Parking is challenging but we were lucky enough to get a spot right in front of the hotel, using the blue tag from the concierge.

Clean, comfortable, spacious rooms with nice views of the water. The suite had a very nice jacuzzi bath.

When we checked in we were told that we had only booked the suite for two adults and one child (which wasn't the case: we had booked for two children) and so we had to pay extra for another children's cot. We had also confirmed that the rooms were suitable for our group in advance, by messaging the hotel through Booking. Luckily a cot was available. Something similar happened at the other hotel we stayed at during our trip, so I think there's a problem with how Booking passes on the information from the search and reservation.

Excellent location in the center, view on the water with a sunny terrace (in the summer). Good restaurant with 'classic' European food. Breakfast is diverse.

The rooms are good. No problem. But it is clear they have been created/furnished some time ago. I was glad I brought my sleeping mask as the curtains let through a lot of light. It is still great value for money and I would visit this hotel again.

This was our 4th trip to Enkhuizen, and this was our first time staying at at Die Port van Cleve (3 nights). We used the hotel as our base for exploring the Netherlands. They have good quality European breakfast. Eggs were cooked to order. Both the room and bathroom were a good size. All the staff were friendly and helpful. This hotel has a good location -- a good balance between the downtown stores, restaurants, and the train station/parking. We've never eaten the evening meal here; however, we've observed that many other travelers do. The location does not suffer from nighttime bar noise or morning trash pickup and delivery noise. I imagine that we will stay here on our next trip.

The staff was outstanding - always friendly and helpful, going above and beyond. We were allowed to check in early both times we stayed there. The breakfast was a buffet with lots of tasty choices. The location was perfect - a 5 minute walk to the train station and only blocks away from great restaurants. Rooms were clean and adequately sized. Room 101 was best, room 111 was adequate.

I really can't think of anything we didn't like. Our stays were both enjoyable and reasonably priced. We'll definitely stay there again if we're in Enkhuizen next time.

Very friendly and obliging family-run hotel in a great location over-looking the river. Close enough to walk to the train station, even for older people pulling bags. Great breakfasts, bar/lounge area for relaxing at the end of the day and a lovely historic feel.

One night of our stay a very large and very loud event was happening in a nearby club/bar/restaurant.... loud music until late in the night, which betrayed the idyllic historic feel of the town. It was quiet in our hotel when all the windows were closed but then it was a shame in mid-Spring to have to close-up.

The restaurant was excellent! Food quality super, very comfortable seats, very kind services. It was also nice to be able to make a hot drink in the room.

The bathroom was not suitable for people with a disability. The bed was narrow. The entry to the hotel had some small barriers, that could easily be changed into an accessible entry.

Breakfast very good. Lots of choice. Could have eggs to order. Staff very friendly and service excellent.

Some aspects of facilities are a little worn such as carpet in halls and upholstery of easy chairs. Beds getting a bit too soft. These are old buildings with some challenges but no lack of charm.

Beautiful hotel only a few minutes walk from the train station. The staff were super friendly and the room was very clean. The breakfast was delicious and lots of choice, we also had an amazing dinner in the evening which I would recommend.

The twin room could have been a bit bigger as it was a squeeze for two and the shower leaked into the bathroom - 114
