Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of old charm and modern comfort, with some room for improvement in facilities. However, the location is superb with easy access to the heart of Leeuwarden, though the dining options could be more extensive.
My stay at the Post Plaza was delightful! The rooms were immaculate and spacious, with a lovely, comfortable large bed and a luxurious bathroom featuring a refreshing rain shower. Despite a party in the Grand Cafe, it was surprisingly quiet, allowing for a peaceful night's rest. The location in this year's capital of culture was superb, offering an extremely comfortable king-size experience with all the historical details perfectly preserved. The only downsides were the limited dining options and the high price considering the little variety available.
