We have stayed 6 nights at the In de Witte Dame boutique hotel. Our superior room under the attic was really nice. Big room, cool bath tub, big bed, kitchenette, 3 roof windows, air-conditioning as well! The breakfast holds only a small selection, so we had 3 times breakfast there with Granola and for us adapted ham sandwiche with two fried eggs, what was tasty and totally fine. After a noisy day in the city it's a lovely place to rest and spend the night to recharge and get new energy. Also the small town Abcoude is really cute and has a couple of coffee places and restaurants, supermarkets as well. Parking is easily possible and for free. The only little BUT is that if you are noise sensitive you need to bring ear plugs and you might reconsider as the hotel is located to the train tracks, so you actually hear every train, no matter windows closed or not. Myself being a bit sensitive got used to it, but used ear plus during the night though. Anyway it's highly recommended and I would stay there again for sure! PS. Train station is 8min walk away and within 20min you are at Amsterdam...
Read moreCosy hotel at the east side of a tree rich square (actually triangular). It is very nice to have a drink, lunch or dinner at a table of their terrace enjoying the shade of the trees. Their dinner was quite good. The road on the north side of that square takes you to the ferry crossing the Maas river (500 meters from te hotel) resulting in a lively but not disturbing coming and going of hikers, walking the famous Pieterpad just there, cyclists and cars. The hotel itself is clean and light, the staff is very friendly, our hotel room was spacious and the beds were of good quality. Bathroom good and very clean. Only thing: the rolling of the church bell may wake you if you're not accustomed to it, especially at midnight. But there is a charm in that as well I think. The reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that a few times they made mistakes at the terrace we got some other table's dinner, they forgot to bring a bottle we had ordered and one or two...

We recently stayed at” In de Witte Dame”; it was a very pleasant stay. The hotel had a series of rooms and apartments in different buildings across the site. Beware though, we were first allocated a room in the roof space, up 2 flights of narrow stairs and no lift, not ideal for the elderly with heavy suitcases, so do check. The manager arranged for a ground floor apartment, it was clean and spacious. The personnel were friendly and obliging and spoke both English and German. There was a plentiful continental breakfast buffet included. There was no room cleaning on the first day, we had to request this. The hotel has a lovely, terraced area and it was very pleasant to sit out there of an evening.
Major drawback, parking. The hotel does not have its own secure parking, it is surrounded by busy streets with limited parking...
