Hotel de Gaaper

Nice little hotel in the centre of Amersfoort. Room was spacious but a bit warm (but there is airco). Bathroom is a bit outdated and could do with a cabinet. Breakfast was a bit sober. There is no lift and also no parking for bikes. Price/value ratio is reasonable.

Horrible experience. We were allocated a studio on the top floor of a house next to one of the most noisy bars of the square. Be aware of rooms looking out on the square, guarantee for a bad night. We decided to not even spend the night and leave. We notified the owner by mail, since it was in the middle of the night but have not received any feedback. For the rest, the room was basic but correct.

Friendly, welcoming and professional staff give this hotel a very personal touch. We arrived early and our room was already available for us.
The delicious breakfast was very good value with a wide selection of sweet and savoury options, served in their cosy and attractive cafe space overlooking the square.
The weather was rainy and cold during our stay but our room was well heated and comfortable with the room cleaned every day and coffee etc restocked.

Have stayed at De Gaaper three times and each time has been great. Sure, it’s basic, but for the price, you can’t complain. Everything has been serviceable and clean on each of my visits. Staff have been friendly and efficient in the usual Dutch way. The square can be noisy, especially on balmy evenings, so do pack some good-quality earplugs.

We had a super experience — friendly hosts and delicious breakfast! I had a secret bathroom that I couldn't find at first 😂🤪 it was perfect for the one night we spent in this delightful city! Thank you for your hospitality!

The management does not work with you at all for check in time. Even if you arrive early, they will not prioritize a room clean so everybody checks in at 3 PM not a minute sooner. We booked a comfort plus room on the square, but we were deceived by the photo of the building showing beautiful large Windows in a beautiful white building. It appears that most of the rooms are in the building next-door where we were on the fourth floor with a very small window and the only way to view the beautiful city Square was to stand in front of the window. The room was very small and very dated. They supply earbuds, which is a good thing because there’s a nightclub in the Square that goes strong until 2:30 AM.

Booked a Comfort Plus room…. Most rooms are not located in the nice white building pictured but next door…. Our window on the square was 3 flights up in the attic with a small window you had to stand at to look out on the beautiful square. They give you ear buds which we needed due to the night club that went til 2:30am. They are one of those poor service hotels that even if you arrive early does not go out of their way at all to get you in the room sooner … nobody gets a room until 3 o’clock. Rooms are ready for an update.

It was a perfect place to stay.
The location is in the city centre, easy to reach many interesting spots in Amersfoort.
The room was nice and clean. The studio room was equipped with a small kitchen and also a coffee maker. It was really an enjoyable room.
The guy in the receptionist was nice, friendly, and helpful. The room actually quiet enough even there is crowd outside.
The only thing I was concerned about was the plants in the room, they nearly died and seemed not watered for a long time :)

Rooms — depends which you get, sometimes they are small and others much more spacious, clean and comfortable as long as you get a double. The hotel provides ear plug as you are close to a church that rings bells every possible chance and they seem to go on and on… if you are a light sleeper you may struggle. Some of the air on units need a little maintenance also as they can be noisy, they are needed as the rooms can get quite warm.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The location is good that it is central. Being aware it is on a busy square so there will be noise. That did not bother us too much with the windows closed and airco on. The room could very much use updating. Breakfast was ok although basic.

Location, location, location. A lovely hotel right in the centre of the old city.
The room was large and well appointed. The staff are very friendly.
I stayed here on recommendation of my work colleagues, I wasn't disappointed. I will definitely make this my first choice when staying in future.
