Hotel de Koophandel stands on the Beestenmarkt, a lively square of cafés and restaurants in the middle of Delft. It is a three-star hotel with five room types, from a compact single of around fifteen square metres to larger doubles, a triple and a double with a city view, and a double with air conditioning. Rooms have private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi, and the hotel offers bike rental, luggage storage, an in-room safe and electric-vehicle charging. A continental breakfast is available for an extra charge and is served in a dedicated breakfast room. The hotel is not fancy, but it is clean, well kept and exactly where you want to be in Delft, and it is a good choice for a night or two in the old town.
The location is the whole point. The Nieuwe Kerk is about a minute on foot, the Vermeer Centrum about three minutes, and the Oude Kerk around seven. The railway station is about twelve minutes away on foot, and trains to The Hague are frequent, taking roughly a quarter of an hour. Royal Delft is a short tram, bus or bike ride away. That makes the hotel a good base for both Delft and day trips, and it is easy to arrive by train with luggage.
Rooms are the practical, comfortable kind. The single is small, and the larger doubles and triple give more room, so choose by group size. If you want air conditioning, book the category that includes it, since not every room has it. The Beestenmarkt can be lively on warm evenings with diners outside, so ask for a room away from the square if you want quiet. In winter the square is calmer. A continental breakfast is available at a fee, and many guests prefer to eat at one of the nearby cafés.
Good to know
On-site parking is available for a daily fee but spaces are limited and parking nearby can be hard to find, so a car is more trouble than it is worth in Delft. Pets are not allowed. The hotel suits couples, solo travellers and small groups on a mid-range budget who want a central, characterful base. It is not a resort, and facilities are simple, but the welcome and the location are the reasons guests return. Book early for weekends and the Christmas period, when Delft is busy.
