“Housed in a renovated post office, the building retains its historical charm, while the Grand Cafe roasts its own coffee beans, promising unique beverages. Though some may find the rooms lacking certain expected amenities, the central location makes it easy to explore Leeuwarden's attractions. I think it's a fine base for those prioritizing location and unique architectural ambiance over top-tier room facilities.”

The staff was helpful. The building has interesting history, a former bank building and postal office. The coffee shop served a good breakfast, and the quality of the produce was excellent.

The room felt small. The TV was tucked away in an old cabinet behind the bed. The doors of the cabinet did not stay open.
