“This historic, family-run hotel sits comfortably in Papenburg's heart, steps from the main canal. The restaurant stands out, too, thanks to regional dishes and a seasonal menu that adds some welcome variety. Expect comfortable, if slightly old-fashioned, rooms, with the best views facing the water.”
