The accommodation was very well presented and the staff at this hotel are exceptionally helpful and friendly. It's a pleasantly informal service but extremely efficient; a difficult balance to achieve and this hotel does that.

Absolutely awesome. Great layout, 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. Much bigger than expected. 5 minutes walk to beautiful dunes. 5 minutes walk to shopping centre. 5-10 minutes drive to unbelievable beaches, Texel transport, fortress and lighthouse, navy museum Den Helder, 1h to Amsterdam. Very quiet place, surprisingly. ! Excelent beds. Another name for relax:)
I liked the part of the city I managed to see. The reason I came, was because of the Tall Ship Race, so there were a lot of visitors and much of my time was spent related to the Tall Ship Race. I would like to come back to visit when it's a bit more quiet to see the town and surrounding areas.

The city is not as beautiful as the rest of the Netherlands, but it is a port city, probably because of that. It is worth staying here because you can easily get to Texel by ferry from here. Our accommodation was not in the city center, but close to the forest and the sea, in a perfect location for nature lovers. It’s worth checking out the Navy Museum (Marine Museum), not all of which were equally interesting, but the submarine, the ships, the mock-ups and some of the paintings are very special.

Just a business trip to the Marine Base for a couple of days. Luckily we saw the Lighting Festival here in Den Helder which was AMAZING. Cosy town but nothing special. Visit the restaurants near the West Street / Navy museum!

Amazing city in North of Holland.
Amazing city in North of Holland.
Super nice for a week-end getaway (although too short in my opinion) or a week vacation. Tons to do: bike rides, markets, beaches, walks in the dune. A lot of nice restaurants.
A lot of tourists in the summer though. Would recommend off season.

Totally underrated. It has such bad reputation, but I would strongly recommend that if you want to visit Texel, better stay in den Helder. Less touristy, incredibly friendly people and a great place to eat out.

This is a bucolic seaside town with a lot of history and personality. There was much more to see than we had time to do. It has the top-rated library in the world, in a beautifully restored old building.
Amazing location,
Beautiful view!
Loved the easy responses via e mail....
Close by to dunes with amazing views.
Taking the ferry ...by bike if your alone is worth the price...cheaper...great way to visit lically as well as for exercices.
In Texel...I recommend to bike to Oudeschild,
And visit the marina area as well as a Fort if you like along the way.
Beautiful seaside views...and from Den Helder dunes...amazing walkway above dunes or by the water...great to feel the wind and be by the ocean waves... not to forget sunset!
Hotel De Werf is dab smack in the middle of Den Helder. Perfect location to start exploring the region. Tons of good restaurant and museums are situated on the dock yards that used to serve the Royal Netherlands Navy.
Breakfast options were limited but they offered enough variety to have a good start into the day.
Just below the rooms is a bar (which also serves as the check in) that offers a good variety of beer. Best part was that we could take it back up to our room!
Property was easy to find with Google Maps, it is in a quiet residential neighbourhood. Great Continental breakfast. There is no evening meal but there are two excellent restaurants within 10 mins walk which were pointed out by the Hotel staff. My room was excellent with plenty of space and mini bar. The bathroom was very clean as was the rest of the hotel. If I have work in this area again this will be my go to place. I really enjoyed my stay
The bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly, especially the guys at breakfast. I was staying with my three year old and they were very sweet to her. I'd say the hotel was fine and I'd definitely stay again for a cheaper price. Excellent location for quiet walks on the beach, and beautiful sunsets. But... For the price we paid (almost 200 euro) it wasn't really anything special. Just totally fine.
The hotel is located in a nice little town perfect for tulip hunting. The hotel itself is very charming and has a lot of character to it. The owners also stay in the same building and are great hosts. The breakfast spread was excellent and the hosts took care of the arrangements personally.
Like going back to the 1970’s
The rooms were clean and comfortable
However the rest of the hotel was something out of 1972
Parking was great
But the price was totally unrealistic
For €50 pet night I would have given this a good review
For €140 then sorry this was poor value for money
Going to Texel we were not able to find any accommodation for 5 persons for 1 nights.
We decided to sleep in Den Helder. Location of the hotel was good. Its a big hotel, easy parking and nice spacious room.
The hotel has a minigolf, bowling, and restaurant. We didn’t use this.
The staff of the hotel was very friendly, attentive and helpful. The room was nice and big with a view over the main square. The breakfast was tasty with enough options to cover all tastes. The location is very central, near the train station and the ferry terminal.
Nice hotel/studio. Close to see,place to recharge battery,quiet place. Friendly for well behaveiving dogs. My boys were happy to get cookies in breakfast 😁
Along the cost, you can walk till Den Helder 1h
Studio where we stayed was dubble/large bed
absolute darling little 2-story apartment in Den Helder. beautiful marine decor makes this a cozy apartment. the stairs are very narrow and the apartment starts on the first story and the 2d bedroom is on the spacious attic (2 twin beds).
The hotel has an excellent staff,which also provided calm help fort a problem arisen less than an hour before leaving, helped us organise our trip to Texel, our visit of the maritime museum and was very good in handling the breakfast.
I was upgraded to an apartment at no additional cost. The staff always go out of their way to accommodate you & make your stay most enjoyable. The Forest Hotel is always my first choice when staying in Den Helder
Nice hotel that is in two refurbished houses. Shopping just around the corner and the ferry to Texel on walking distance. Nice restaurants just across the street. Almost no traffic after 20:00
