ABOUT US

You will find our boutique hotel in the center of Alphen in the former headmaster’s house from 1895.

The building initially served as a residence for the headmaster of the primary school of what was then still called Aarlanderveen. Until in 1918 Aarlanderveen merged with Oudshoorn and Alphen and thus the municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn was created. More than a hundred years and various destinations further, we, Niels and Laura Aben, have transformed the building with much love and attention into a modern inn with a luxurious twist, in which we have brought back the old warm atmosphere of yesteryear. The Stadsherberg is intended as a meeting place where everyone, young and old, is welcome to eat, drink and spend the night. Alone or with each other. We offer you a home feeling with the hospitality and personal attention of an old inn and the luxury and comfort of a modern boutique hotel.

Perfect for a delicious break!

Boutiquehotel Stadsherberg is located in the center of Alphen aan den Rijn. Alphen, a place where there is plenty to do and experience, and the ideal base for discovering the watery surroundings and beautiful nature of the Green Heart. Do you like the city? All major cities are within easy reach. A half hour drive from Alphen you will find cities such as Rotterdam, Utrecht and of course Amsterdam. Prefer to take the train? The station is within walking distance of our hotel.

Take a stroll through the refurbished Stadshart with lots of familiar and new shops to discover. Grab a coffee or a drink at one of the many waterfront terraces or visit a show or movie in Theater Castellum in the evening.

Alphen hotspots include Museumpark Archeon, where you can travel back in time, and, of course, Avifauna Bird Park. From Avifauna, you can also take an old Dutch boat tour through the Groene Hart.

In Alphen it‘s a known phrase; ‘een rondje meer‘. Take a nice walk around the Zegerplas or in the forest where grazing Galloway cows have their home. Prefer more action? You can surf, sail or row. The water skiing area and climbing park are there for the real daredevils. In Park Zegersloot, nature and recreation go hand in hand.

The most fun events in Alphen aan den Rijn:

  • The 3rd Wednesday in September is the largest annual market in the Netherlands
  • The Roman Weeks in Archeon in August
  • ‘de 20 van Alphen’; the opening classic of the running season
  • Summer Spectacle at the Lake; a musical celebration with top Dutch bands all weekend

Alphen is the perfect holiday destination in the Green Heart; a diverse Dutch landscape full of hiking and cycling paths and many waterways.

In the Green Heart you can wander endlessly. For example, discover the unique Molenviergangroute or climb over bridges and fences on the farm paths. The famous Roman Limespad even runs past our hotel.

Would you rather cycle? Explore, for example, the newly created Nature Reserve Bentwoud, the largest forest area in the Randstad with more than 80 kilometers of cycling and walking paths. Many rare birds, butterflies and plants can be found there.

The Green Heart has more water than Friesland. A canoe or electric boat trip on the Nieuwkoopse Plassen is highly recommended. Sail on the Kaag, take a sloop on the Tulip Route or take a guided tour of the nurseries in Boskoop.

Whether you walk, cycle or explore the water, in the Green Heart you experience peace and space.

Amsterdam is unique.
Every description does not do justice to the 17th century capital of the Netherlands. World renowned museums such as the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House. A visit to “The Night Watch” is on everyone‘s bucket list. The stately townhouses on the famous canal belt, the flower market, the Vondelpark, the small boutiques in the Nine Streets of the Jordaan. In Amsterdam, you don‘t have enough time.

Curious about how Rembrandt spent the first 25 years of his life?
Then visit Leiden and explore the many historical sights, courtyards and museums. In the old city centre of Leiden, cosiness is always close by.

Say Gouda and you say cheese … and stroopwafels.
 Gouda the ‘must go city‘ for foodies. The historic city centre of Gouda is compact with many small medieval streets along the canals. Reachable within half an hour by car or train. Gouda is worth a visit.

Rotterdam, called the New York of the Netherlands by some.
Port city. Architecture. Innovative. Versatile, Rotterdam is an interesting place with lots to discover.

For a day of shopping, go to Domstad Utrecht.
The covered shopping mall Hoog Catharijne has been completely renovated and has more than 90 shops. Utrecht is known for its city centre with wharf cellars along the canals full of cafes and terraces on the water.

Hofstad The Hague. Full of history.
 The Binnenhof and Peace Palace. The painters united in the Haagsche School. At the same time a modern lively city. International. Melting pot of languages and cultures. Good restaurants. And kilometres of coast give The Hague that little extra compared to many other cities. It‘s all there, in The Hague, the city by the sea! Perhaps the best kept secret of all cities.

The healthy sea air on the beach is always good for a person. Strolling for miles along the surf in Katwijk, cycling in the dunes at Langevelderslag or relaxing in one of the beach clubs in Noordwijk? Everyone feels at home on the coast.
