The Oranje Hotel across from the train station in Leeuwarden has been welcoming guests for over one- hundred years, as can be seen in the oldest photos/images on a wall in the hotel chronicling the hotel's rich past. Now an Eden property, the Oranje Hotel continues its tradition of comfort and service at a reasonable price. The hotel has an expansive bar and lounge area with a number of quiet and comfortable niches. There is even a reading area with magazines and reading lamps. An ample breakfast is offered daily until 11 AM at a good price. The hotel's rooms are efficiently appointed: my only disappointment, such as it was over two nights, is the lack of English speaking channels on the television. (There is just one, from an unlikely source - French TV - but no CNN or even BBC). There are restaurants directly to the left and right of the hotel, and if you fancy a steak a Loetje's is at hand!
