3-star hotels in Marken
A short list of the 3-star hotels in Marken: Hof van Marken and Bed and Breakfast De Pepersteeg. It is written for travellers who want a small, quiet base in the village rather than a large resort.
Staying in Marken
Marken is a village of wooden houses and narrow lanes built on a peninsula in the water once separated from the mainland, and visitors come for that old-fashioned village look, the harbour and the walk along the dike. The two hotels on this shortlist stand inside the village itself: Hof van Marken on Buurt Ii Nr. 15, and Bed and Breakfast De Pepersteeg on Kerkbuurt 148, both in the built-up heart rather than out in the fields.
With 2 hotels and both rated 3 stars, Marken suits couples and travellers on a short break who want to walk out of the door into the village, and it is quiet enough for guests who prefer small properties to big hotels. Hof van Marken has a guest rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 128 reviews, with a bar, terrace, balcony, room service, concierge and free Wi-Fi; De Pepersteeg offers free parking, a garden, free Wi-Fi and allows pets, which is useful if you arrive by car or travel with a dog.
