3-star hotels in Hoorn
This shortlist gathers the 3-star hotels on our Hoorn list: De Magneet, Hotel De Keizerskroon, Graaf van Hoorn Boutique Guesthouse and B&B Posthoorn. It is for travellers who want a simple, well-placed base in the town, whether for a couple of nights or a longer stay.
Staying in Hoorn
Hoorn is a historic Dutch harbour town on the Markermeer, known for its old warehouses, harbours and streets of stepped gables. Visitors come for the water, the museums and the compact centre, and most of what you want to see sits within the old town rather than spread across a wide area.
The hotels on this list all have addresses in the historic centre: Kleine Oost 5, Breed 31, Grote Noord 3 and Breed 23. That means the harbour, the main streets and the shopping lanes are all around you rather than a trip away. It suits couples on a short break, families who want space and a kitchen, and anyone combining a town visit with time on the water, since several of these hotels are close to the beach.
