Quiet property within a quiet neighbourhood. It's a short walk to the train station where you can connect easily to other towns and cities across The Netherlands. Clean bathroom and sleeping quarters. Would recommend staying here as the base for sleeping and then using the train station for exploring other areas.

I stayed at the Anker a few times after my apartment was sold. Not only was it the most economical option for private rooms in Leeuwarden, but also for all of Nederland. Amenities vary by room type, but had a good stay in all the room types I tried. Excellent location in the center of Ljouwert.

The place exceeded our expectations. Lawrence is a first class host. The place is really quirky and well worth the money. Leeuwarden is just a fantastic base in the north of the country and we made a visit to one of the Wadden Islands with a two hour ferry journey which was splendid.

I wasn't expecting a lot from this property given it was so cheap. It met my expectations in that it was a simple, clean place to stay for a night. What was unexpected was a noise like a chainsaw coming from - I think - the bathroom when someone was using the shower. Things were a little chaotic leaving and collecting my luggage but the staff were helpful. Ok for a night but wouldn't have wanted to stay any longer.

Checking in was a desaster. He could not find the reservation. He asked if the reservation was for today. Then he said that he has only 1 room, we made a reservation for 2 rooms.I showed my email with the conformation. Then he said expedia is to blame. And that i should arrive between 13 and 16 hours. And he said my visa card is not correct. Then i waited half an hour. He wanted to put the people from the second room reservation together with other people in one room. I said i will not accept and will do this over my lawer . Then we got the second room.
