Hoteldebotel in Gouda: stylish accommodations in hotels and B&Bs

Relais & Châteaux Weeshuis Gouda
Sleeping soundly here is actually an understatement. Relais & Châteaux Weeshuis Gouda, known as WSHS Gouda, is a historic hideaway with five-star flair in a former orphanage dating back to 1599. History and contemporary design come together in 25 luxurious rooms and suites, with Gouda pottery taking center stage. From cozy Tiny & Comfy rooms to themed rooms like the Powder Room and The I-DO room for an unforgettable wedding night: every room is unique and meticulously designed down to the last detail. A day at WSHS begins with breakfast in the Regentenkamer, and for a top-tier culinary experience, take a seat at LIZZ, awarded a Michelin star. But not before raising a toast at the COCO cocktail bar or in the charming courtyard garden, a green urban oasis. 

City Hotel Gouda
Located on the Hoge Gouwe, City Hotel Gouda rolls out the red carpet for you to discover historic Gouda. After a day of sightseeing, you can settle in for the night in one of this red-brick hotel’s comfortable rooms or themed suites. Will you sleep in a king-size bed surrounded by stroopwafels, cheese, or candles? In the morning, a breakfast buffet featuring local delicacies awaits, along with the best Gouda tips from the staff. A nice bonus: as a hotel guest, you can park at a discount in the Q-Park Bolwerk garage beneath the hotel, and Gouda Station is within walking distance for a train city trip. 

The Guesthouse Hotel Gouda 
Sometimes you’re just looking for a no-frills hotel where everything is just right. Staying overnight doesn’t have to be complicated at The Guesthouse, a staffless hotel with eleven rooms. “A clean bed, a nice shower, and a place where you immediately feel at home—that’s really all you need.” You check in with your phone, coffee is waiting for you in the courtyard, the staffis there to help if you have any questions, and the “Gouda” buzz is right around the corner. 

Suikerpandje B&B 
Sweet, cozy, and intimate, tucked away in a historic alley. You can’t get any more Gouda than this! The charming Suikerpandje, with its royal blue door, was a sugar warehouse centuries ago. Now it has been transformed into a B&B for four people. Here, you’ll have your own little Gouda cottage with two bedrooms, a cozy living room, and a sunny terrace. Owners Jeannette and Hans will make sure you have everything you need. 

Tannery Lane B&B
Tucked away in Gouda’s smallest street, the Looierspoort, is a magnificent B&B: Tannery Lane. In this alley, which references the craft of the leather tanners of yesteryear, two people can sleep in a historic building full of character. Naturally adapted to modern comforts, including a bathroom and a flat-screen TV with Netflix. After breakfast, the Goudse Straatjes, the Markt, and sights like St. John’s Church and Museum Gouda beckon. 

Gouwestee B&B
A delightful place to stay in a historic building on Keizerstraat, where you can wake up in peace and quiet and be at the Markt in no time. Enjoy the morning paper over breakfast with fresh orange juice and croissants, served by owner Rob. Small, cozy, and full of charm. Welcome to the Gouwestee!

Hofje van Sint-Jan
Wake up in the morning in the most beautiful part of historic Gouda? Behind the church, Hofje van Sint-Jan shines, a whitewashed, centuries-old building dating back to 1682. This boutique stay, featuring four floors, three bedrooms in natural tones with comfortable box springs, and two luxurious bathrooms, is designed for a group of up to seven people. And it gets even better! Because, as a guest, you’ll be pampered by the team at the day-care shop Jantje zag eens pruimen hangen and the folks at Brownies&downieS Gouda. The latter provide breakfast and snack platters. 

Baartje Sanderserf
An old courtyard and shelter for the poor and homeless. In 1687, the Baartje Sanderserf was exactly that, thanks to the wealthy widow Baartje Sanders. Now you can spend the night in this piece of heritage in a hidden spot with all the highlights just around the corner. Choose The Cozy Cottage in the City, a charming and bright little house with all the amenities for two guests. Or YOUR Tiny House, where you’ll sleep like royalty in a trendy box bed and brew barista-quality coffee in the cozy kitchen. “We’re proud to say that the Baartje Sanders estate is once again a haven, now for travelers,” say owners Ferdi and Lisanne. 

Apple Tree Cottage
A romantic 1800s property with a charming inner-city garden on Gouda’s most beautiful canal. What more could you ask for? This vacation home owes its name to the ‘Bramley’ apple tree in the garden. If you love charm and privacy and want to enjoy your own little Gouda home as a couple, with all the entertainment and restaurants nearby, then this is the place to stay for your city trip to Gouda. 

Shortstay Gouda  
Have you always wanted to know what “sleeping in Gouda” feels and looks like? After a night at Shortstay Gouda, you’ll know exactly what we mean. In the former Art Nouveau-style home of paper merchant Cats, you’ll sleep in one of two high-end studios—the Visbank or Stadhuis. The studios have their own entrance and all the luxury and comfort you’d expect at home. 

Landal De Reeuwijkse Plassen Vacation Park
The Syrup Waffle Factory, the Gouda Cheese Experience, Museum Gouda, and the special children’s tour of St. John’s Church. These are just a few of the fun activities to enjoy with kids in Gouda. Would you like to stay longer in (or near) Gouda as a family? Just a 15-minute drive from Gouda, you can relax at Landal De Reeuwijkse Plassen, surrounded by nature. You’ll stay in modern, sustainably built waterfront homes, the kids can have fun on the nature play island or in the indoor pool, and there’s endless water and cycling fun in the Green Heart.
