Gelkingehof Apartments

We like the convenience of this converted 17th-century brewery in the historic heart of the city. You can take a four-minute stroll through the bustling Grote Markt to reach the medieval Martinitoren (Martini Tower), the city’s tallest steeple, and you’re only 10 minutes from the railway station. Big, airy, wood-floored apartments hunker around a hidden courtyard, and the company offers the use of free bikes. The area is packed with great pubs and cafes, or wander up Gelkingestraat for Thai food, sushi, Turkish kebabs, gourmet modern Dutch cuisine and more.
