The accommodation was very well presented and the staff at this hotel are exceptionally helpful and friendly. It's a pleasantly informal service but extremely efficient; a difficult balance to achieve and this hotel does that.

Absolutely awesome. Great layout, 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. Much bigger than expected. 5 minutes walk to beautiful dunes. 5 minutes walk to shopping centre. 5-10 minutes drive to unbelievable beaches, Texel transport, fortress and lighthouse, navy museum Den Helder, 1h to Amsterdam. Very quiet place, surprisingly. ! Excelent beds. Another name for relax:)
I liked the part of the city I managed to see. The reason I came, was because of the Tall Ship Race, so there were a lot of visitors and much of my time was spent related to the Tall Ship Race. I would like to come back to visit when it's a bit more quiet to see the town and surrounding areas.

The city is not as beautiful as the rest of the Netherlands, but it is a port city, probably because of that. It is worth staying here because you can easily get to Texel by ferry from here. Our accommodation was not in the city center, but close to the forest and the sea, in a perfect location for nature lovers. It’s worth checking out the Navy Museum (Marine Museum), not all of which were equally interesting, but the submarine, the ships, the mock-ups and some of the paintings are very special.

Just a business trip to the Marine Base for a couple of days. Luckily we saw the Lighting Festival here in Den Helder which was AMAZING. Cosy town but nothing special. Visit the restaurants near the West Street / Navy museum!

Amazing city in North of Holland.
Amazing city in North of Holland.
Super nice for a week-end getaway (although too short in my opinion) or a week vacation. Tons to do: bike rides, markets, beaches, walks in the dune. A lot of nice restaurants.
A lot of tourists in the summer though. Would recommend off season.

Totally underrated.
Totally underrated. It has such bad reputation, but I would strongly recommend that if you want to visit Texel, better stay in den Helder. Less touristy, incredibly friendly people and a great place to eat out.

This is a bucolic seaside town with a lot of history and personality. There was much more to see than we had time to do. It has the top-rated library in the world, in a beautifully restored old building.
Great location and very friendly host. The host reacts quick and clear to messages. The hand-over of keys was smooth. The apartment was clean and well organized. The beds were comfortable. The small terrace at the highest floor is very nice. The host pampered us with delicious pralines and a bottle of wine as a welcome gift which was very nice :-) Good coffee (Dolce-Gusto) was provided as well. I highly recommend this apartment for a stay at Den Helder and would book it myself again.
We booked 2 rooms and stayed for 3 nights in April 2022. Room 1 was spacious overlooked the main street, canal and cafes and felt like home away from home. The breakfast was really good and the hosts were very accommodating, helpful and friendly. The location of the 'hotel' suited us. It is a 5 min walk from the train station and a 10 min walk from the ferry terminal towards beautiful Texel Island.
The bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly, especially the guys at breakfast. I was staying with my three year old and they were very sweet to her. I'd say the hotel was fine and I'd definitely stay again for a cheaper price. Excellent location for quiet walks on the beach, and beautiful sunsets. But... For the price we paid (almost 200 euro) it wasn't really anything special. Just totally fine.
The very definition of what ‘gezellig’ means. Nicely situated in a calm neighborhood overlooking de Lange Jaap( a local landmark lighthouse).
Modest but tastefully furnished room with a very warm, friendly and helpful host and an adorable dog.
Much better short stay solution than those hugely overpriced, substandard hotels Den Helder has to offer.
I’ll surely be back and soon, propably.
Fantastic service, especially with breakfast. Where they offer you a freshly made omelet and coffee. A good touch, it made our day everyday. The ladies behind the service desk are just sweethearts. The hotel is exactly in the centre of the town, and it even has a cinema with cult films on the same floor as the hotel. Just amazing
Big and good breakfast in the room. The room is very big. The best is the place: not far from the the beach (500 m) and not far from the town (6 km). Supermarkets are 4-6 km from the hotel and in 4 km is small nice village Julianadorp. You can oder bycicles a day before and they will be delivered in the hotel.
The hotel is located in a nice little town perfect for tulip hunting. The hotel itself is very charming and has a lot of character to it. The owners also stay in the same building and are great hosts. The breakfast spread was excellent and the hosts took care of the arrangements personally.
Like going back to the 1970’s
The rooms were clean and comfortable
However the rest of the hotel was something out of 1972
Parking was great
But the price was totally unrealistic
For €50 pet night I would have given this a good review
For €140 then sorry this was poor value for money
The staff of the hotel was very friendly, attentive and helpful. The room was nice and big with a view over the main square. The breakfast was tasty with enough options to cover all tastes. The location is very central, near the train station and the ferry terminal.
absolute darling little 2-story apartment in Den Helder. beautiful marine decor makes this a cozy apartment. the stairs are very narrow and the apartment starts on the first story and the 2d bedroom is on the spacious attic (2 twin beds).
Nice hotel that is in two refurbished houses. Shopping just around the corner and the ferry to Texel on walking distance. Nice restaurants just across the street. Almost no traffic after 20:00
I did not like any thing in this hotel - i had to book it last minute because booking.com did not let me recall the other place i booked few weeks ago.
