Hotel de Koophandel

This was not a bland, could be anywhere, chain hotel, but a smaller independent place, proud of its "Delftness". From the little shelf of blue and white pottery Dutch houses on the wall in my room, the reproductions of Dutch art in the rooms and corridors (Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring was hanging on the wall opposite my bed) to the Royal Delft crockery at breakfast, De Koophandel left me with no doubt about where in the world I was. A very handy central location on Beestmarkt, surrounded by bars and restaurants. I didn't have to go far in the pouring rain for dinner and a beer. In the summer, however, I suspect with the windows open, the rooms could be very noisy with tables of diners and drinkers outside. The shower in my room was surprisingly powerful (by water-saving-trickle Dutch shower standards) and the Rituals toiletries were more upmarket than I might have expected in a non-luxury hotel. The swirly carpets throughout suggest it may have been a while since the interior (apart from the cheery breakfast room) had been refurbished or modernised. The welcome was warm, and I was allowed to store my bicycle inside the building itself.

Love this place and the people working the front desk! I arrived around 11:30 and they had my room ready by 12, thankfully. The room is immaculate, quiet, clean, and spacious. Totally reasonable pricing, and centrally located. Looks over on to a square with lovely views, and isn't too far from the train station. I would gladly stay here again and wish there were more places like this. Everything I needed at a price I could afford and excellent hospitality! Kudos to you Hotel De Koophandel!

I selected this hotel from other reviews. Not the cheapest but excellent and just what I wanted for a break from my caring responsibilities. The room and shower room were comfortable and clean, overlooking the Beestmarkt. Breakfast was very good and had everything except an English fry! Only drawback was there is no lift so difficult for disabled guests.

My 87 year old mother and I were given room 31- up 2 flights of narrow steep stairs (1 set that was a spiral staircase)- yikes. but ok - we are in Europe. However- upon entering our room, I realized the AC DID NOT WORK! The sun shined into the room, and the heat rises, so the room felt like it was 90degrees!!!! The staff said give it time to cool off - but it never did. It was a great location & other than being uncomfortable, it would haven been great. AVOID ROOM 31!!!

Warm and friendly staff. English spoken. Very central to food , delft pottery, eateries. Room was on the top floor, bit of a hike up with all of our luggage- next time we will request a ground level room. Room was clean and comfortable, perfect for what we needed. Breakfast consisted of cold meats , cheeses , fruits, pastries etc. Perfect for our needs. We would love to book in here again on our next trip. Highly recommended

I liked the location of this hotel. It faces a lovely square in the historic area, but isn't on the main tourist square, which is one block over, making it a little less busy and quieter. The room was very large and comfortable, but the decore is a bit dated. The bathroom was larger than most, clean and updated. We did not have breakfast at the hotel, but the breakfast area looked nice. We were able to store our luggage at the hotel before our check in time, which was nice. The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful. We had a lovely view of the square from our room and found the room quiet despite the restaurants below us. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at this hotel again due to the greaat location.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely hotel on a pretty square, near lots of restaurants & bars, but not noisy. Our room on the first floor was spacious, clean & had a nice modern en suite with shower. Breakfast was fresh & tasty with a good selection. The staff spoke English, we're friendly & helpful. Would I revisit? Absolutely, a great find in this pretty town. Thank you all.

The beds were ok, big gap in the middle, so not great. The bathroom needs updating, the sink squeaks and feels like it might break if you lean on it. The hallway is noisy, we're lucky we got a quieter room, but got woken up at 4am by our neighbors. The breakfast was ok -- have had better, but for the price it was ok. The worst of it-- the bedbugs! I got a dozen bites on my leg, that they itch several days later. I'm allergic to them so I was in pain for two days straight. Would not recommend!

We booked 2 rooms on the 2nd floor and had a fantastic view. The rooms were clean and spacious, the staff was always friendly and the breakfasts were delicious. The hotel is within walking distance to all major sites as well as the train station. It was the perfect place to stay!!
