Hotel de Koepoort

What an inspired choice this was, to book 5 nights here in the Hotel De Koepoort. Location was just a short walk from the town harbour, even closer to the main churches and shopping areas and some very good restaurants. This hotel did not do evening meals, but this hardly matters. Breakfast was superb, and the staff helping out so helpful and friendly. Excellent selection of Breakfast items - all of which, were fresh and enjoyable. Joyce on reception, (as well as others, although I did not catch their names) went out of their way to be extremely helpful, and gave us some useful hints as to what to see and where to eat. Our room on the top reached by some steep steps, and possibly the slowest lift (elevator) in the Netherlands. The room, itself was great, close enough to clearly hear the Koespoort - (city gate) Carillion to hear the hourly chimes, and single bell on the half hour! Nicely decorated, very good bath room with a jet pool bath. Very large and comfortable bed, no fridge, but the trek downstairs to the bar was well worth it. Nice hot shower, although we had to improvise and built a drainage dyke ( with towels) to stop the room from flooding. Enkhuizen is a great place to visit, a place to enjoy the peace, calm and charm. The Hotel De Koepoort is a happy extension of this. A wonderful place to stay, and with a great staff that were a joy to talk to, albeit in English.

Stayed for couple of nights and i was very pleased and happy. Can see how this is one of the best hotels in this small little cosy town. Many good reasons to stay here but there are also room for some improvements to make it even better! Hope that the staffs read these for feedback and ideas. The positives: - Great service as the staffs speak very good English with confidence. The warm hospitality makes guests feel very welcomed. They are also very helpful with suggestions and help whenever needed. - Rooms are cosy with modern design. Bed is comfortable and plenty of pillows in all types are provided. They even provided bedroom slipper when requested. Room temperature can also be set easily with air-condition working well. - Breakfast is much better especially with warm food selection. - Nice gym & yoga room, although not all machines are in working condition The improvement needed: - Soundproofing for rooms can be better - Ensure gym machines are in working condition (not for show only) - Housekeeping standard to be kept consistent (some days the clean down were not complete). Also, why leaving behind a bathroom sweeper in the shower area? - Replace cheap plastic/paper cups in the room and toilet with glasses (to align with your green messages) - Too tight with toilet amenities supply (strictly only 1 small tube of shampoo and body gel each day). Provide body lotion and hair conditioner as well. - Extend some food varieties for breakfast and snack menu - Staffs to wear mask if visibly unwell during working Still highly recommended to stay here for its overall standard as compared to other hotels in the vicinity area. Look forward to another wonderful stay in my next visit.

Everyone was so friendly and welcoming that we joked after staying here that if we had stayed another few days we would have ended up a part of all their families. The little touches like hand written notes in your room on arrival, so much personal pride in their town leading to great recommendations for what to see and eat, the front desk attendant eager to see us to wish two of us happy birthdays (which were that week), and even recommendations for our next town. We all slept like babies in their beds, ate well in the morning, and were sad to leave. Enkhuizen is gorgeous, though the folks here will make it easy to return many times in the future.

Due to Covid, I could not travel and despite days of notice, they did not accept my cancellation nor did they offer to change it for another day. Really disappointed by that. For anyone who is considering this hotel, I would chose another one where they really consider clients as human beings. Ya

A beautiful hotel, very good location, extremely friendly staff, very quiet, in an old house near the old town gate, but large and fully modernised rooms. Very good breakfast. Reasonably priced snacks and small meals if you don’t feel like going out for lunch or dinner. Great air condition and WiFi.

This hotel has very friendly staff on reception, who genuinely want to help you. The biggest disappoin**ent for me was the breakfast. It was self service, which was fine, but the scrambled egg was very dry, the sausages had been boiled, as they were swimming in water. So we stuck to bread, cheese and ham, which was ok. The only other downside was the location. It is about a 20 minute walk from the town centre, so we would have stayed closer to town. An average hotel stay, nothing special apart from the staff on reception.
