Our first visit to assen

Our stay was amazing. Would totally recommend this hotel. We will be back to stay here.
Paul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is my new favorite hotel in the Netherlands. The staff is very warm and welcoming, my room was ENORMOUS, the setting is a rural village and the hotel is a 19th century hospital conversion. High ceilings and classic architecture. Biggest bonus was a forest walking trail behind the hotel. This place was ideal for me and my dog! Will definitely return!
gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice environment and easy to visit if you like quiet. The Kolonie van weldadigheid, is an interesting part of history. Besides this not much to see. Breakfast is basic, but okay.

Peaceful and green

Super peaceful, rural location. Looks great for biking and hiking, though for us was just an overnight stop. Unusual conversion of a hospital into hotel. Interesting architecture, amazing LARGE windows. Very friendly and helpful service. No restaurants particularly nearby but nice to eat at the hotel and great breakfast included.

Hartelijk welkom in een prachtige omgeving

Hotel in een historische omgeving (Unesco erfgoed): prachtig! Hotelkamer in een gerenoveerde dienstwoning. Een heel hartelijk welkom. Eigenlijk niet gericht op zakelijke gasten (ontbijt normaal pas om 8 uur bijvoorbeeld), maar er was veel mogelijk. Het ontbijt bijvoorbeeld werd op verzoek vervroegd naar 7.15 uur. Heel fijn (verstelbaar) bed, ruime kamer, goede douche, goede spiegels en verlichting, voldoende stopcontacten en voldoende comfort terwijl de historische kenmerken onaangetast blijven. Bureau op de kamer dat groot genoeg is om aan te werken. Geen koelkast op de kamer.

Hier voel, beleef je de innerlijke rust

Een culturele sportief verblijf voor enkele dagen! Fantastisch wandelgebied met veel routes en fietsroutes van verschillende afstanden. Je maakt letterlijk onderdeel uit van de geschiedenis waar het hotel ook haar plaats in had als dokters woning. De keuken met eerlijke gerechten ui de Tuinen van Weldadigheid zijn heerlijk.

Hotel in een rustige, landelijke omgeving, uitstekend ontbijt, prima parkeergelegenheid, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, en een zeer goed restaurant. De trap naar onze kamer was erg steil met smalle treden. Geen koelkast is een minnetje.

Restaurant erg goed, hotel gedateerd/niet schoon!

Hotel is wat gedateerd en onze kamer was niet erg schoon, veel (dode)vliegen en rukte erg muf, leek erop of er de kamer langere tijd niet gebruikt was. Moest zelf dode vliegen uit het raam blazen. Restaurant deel niet hip maar eten erg goed!!

supergroot appartement

Supergroot appartement met vide (80m2) Keuken, keukentafel en zithoek Leuke originele verwijzingen naar de hospitaal oorsprong
N H, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ruim appartement, eens wat anders, De keuze in de keuken was wat beperkt, maar gezien de huidige situatie begrijpelijk. Vond de hele omgeving wel rustgevend maar ook wat creepy. Zeker ook gezien de geschiedenis van deze omgeving.

Vriendelijk & erg behulpzaam

Wij verbleven in Bitter &zoet omdat ik een operatie had in de naast gelegen hernia kliniek. Het personeel was super vriendelijk en erg behulpzaam. Ze waren op de hoogte van mijn operatie en hielpen met alles goed mee. Het eten was heerlijk!

Better than my expectation

We stayed only one night and continued with our next destination the following day. We could easily have stayed another day at this place. It’s far away from noise and busy traffic. The room we had was spacious, well planned and very clean. Much better in reality compared to pictures on the internet. I would suggest that while you are there, try to eat at the restaurant. We had dinner when we arrived late. The personal are very accomodating and helpful. Dinner and dessert was very good. I could easily come back here for a weekend trip or recommend this place to others.
Theresa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Een beschamende vertoning.

Ondanks dat we met onze twee kinderen in het hotel verbleven, waren we in het restaurant niet welkom. Weggesnauwd worden door het onwillge en ongastvrije team van obers is wellicht passend in een gevangenenkamp zoals voordien in dit complex. Dit bezoek aan Restaurant Bitter en Zoet in Veenhuizen is ons zuur vergaan en had bijna ons weekend verknoeid. Gelukkig zijn in de regio ook uitstekende restaurants met wel een gastvriendelijke ontvangst en willige bediening.
