Oranje Hotel Leeuwarden

The perfect hotel. The location is fantastic as it is situated around a two minute walk opposite the main station. The staff were very welcoming, polite and friendly. The room was clean, large and no problems were encountered whatsoever. Exceptionally good value. Definitely worth a re-visit.

HOTEL LEONARDO LEEUWARDEN NL Though this isn't a 5-star luxury hotel, it was clear to us there are people behind Hotel Leonardo who really put the effort in with the hotel. First, the location is great, just across from the lovely main Leeuwarden train station and a moment away from the Love Fountain, with its ethereal beauty. From what I understand it is one of the 11 Fountains Project. Best to ask ahead where to find the parking entrance. Once you find this, it's great the hotel has very convenient and secure underground parking. Additional fee. Granted, the hotel is dated, but somehow I felt it was dated in a good, European kind of way. It was spotlessly clean. Our large room with comfortable king bed, good shower and large separate bath and two sinks was very well maintained and many details thought of here. The cleanliness, maintenance, comfort, amenities and great A/C during the HEATWAVE outshone any thoughts of the hotel not being totally up to date. The variety and quality of morning breakfast exceeded our expectations. The friendly woman welcoming guests each morning at breakfast made the mornings extra positive. Service in the evening for drinks was also very good, the whole dining/reception area very large and comfortable. If we had any complaint about Hotel Leonardo, I can't think of it. We had an enjoyable stay. My only regret is not being in the city long enough to enjoy all it offers, including the discovery of the miniature people I understand are hidden in many places.

We stayed in late May 2026. You can see the hotel when you leave the train station. The room was quiet, clean, comfortable, and roomy for Friesland: we had 3 adults so 3 beds made up and still didn't feel cramped. The Fries Museum was an easy walk. All the employees were friendly and helpful. The hotel felt more intimate than typical hotels: very nice atmosphere/feeling. The breakfast buffet was amazing.
