Leerhotel Het Klooster

Disappointed with the inflexibility of Leerhotel Het Klooster. I was scheduled to stay while speaking at an event that was cancelled unexpectedly. Although the booking was under non-refundable terms, the hotel showed no willingness to offer a postponement or partial refund — despite the situation being completely outside my control. It’s in moments like this where you see whether a hotel prioritizes its guests or just protects its bottom line. Sadly, this felt like the latter.

The hotel is set in peaceful, quiet surroundings, and the historic building — a former monastery — is definitely the main attraction. The staff were polite and friendly, and they brought us an extra chair upon request, which we appreciated. However, the rooms are quite basic for the high price — just a small table and one stool for two guests. No mini fridge. No bath robes or slippers. The tv has only cable channels and no youtube/streaming services. In late May, the room felt a bit chilly, and we weren’t able to turn on the heating. The buffet breakfast was sufficient, but limited (compared to other hotels in The Netherlands for the same price) and not restocked during the last hour of service. At checkout, we were charged an extra €5 per person as a tourist tax, even though our booking said all taxes were included. Only card payment was accepted. Overall, I’d recommend this place to those specifically interested in staying in a historic building surrounded by nature. Otherwise, it feels overpriced for what it offers (the actual hotel facilities).

A very enjoyable one-night stay (en route eastwards, 70 mins drive from the ferry at Hoek van Holland). Plenty of staff around, at reception and elsewhere, some of whom not surprisingly not that clear on what they're supposed to be doing; more senior staff were very friendly and helpful. The place is a real labyrinth, taking us past the stunning chapel to get to our room, which was well-equipped and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the stylish restaurant: excellent food, good value on the half-pension basis, and a great breakfast too. Easy parking, and only 10 mins drive from the city centre.

This is a lovely hotel, and we enjoyed our stay very much. It is a teaching hotel, that is, there are students in training there, so things might take a bit longer because they are learning the ropes, but as long as you budget a little bit of patience, this is a wonderful place to stay. The room was large and spacious with high ceilings, and of course the cloister setting is one of a kind. Highly recommended

"Excellent air conditioning and room temperature control."

The Leerhotel Het Klooser is an unusual hotel. ||The building is ugly, the inside is uninspiring and dated. All of which is perhaps not a surprise if monks used to live there. Next door is a conventional college along with a trainee catering college who work in the hotel. These trainee students make up a good percentage of the staff especially in relation to the catering. This is applaudable although they are a little dilatory at times. ||The main staff are excellent and very welcoming. The bar area wasn’t particularly functioning and the location of the hotel wasn’t nearly many places of interest. Especially if you are walking.||Tips:||In walking distance, if you want a nice bar and snacks then go through a nearby forest to the Fletcher Hotel. | |If you don’t want to lose 3 hours of your life in a drab environment, avoid the 4 course meal option.|

Great hotel and restaurant run by students under supervision. Very interesting building which used to be a convent and now is a catering & hospitality college. Rooms are very well appointed. The restaurant serves a set 5 course dinner, again served and prepared by students, of very high quality and absolutely delicious. Excellent quality breakfast. Free ample parking. Recommended!

I spent 2 nights at this amazing hotel for a business conference. The hotel is a hospitality training college. All the people working there are the students and their tutors. |The food and amazing fancy treats prepared by young people training to be chefs and was lovely. |The rooms beautifully comfortable and contained everything you needed. |The conference facilities were very good. |It was all unique as it was formally a monastery.
