The location in Sluis was excellent for walking, shopping and dining. It was really very nice to just walk out the door and stroll down the street. One can easily walk to the fish market, the windmill and any number of cute boutiques. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and went out of their way to provide extra services. We enjoyed the tasteful peacock (Paauw) theme/decor. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was spacious, which isn’t always the case at a hotel. Beaches could be reached easily via car in less than 15 minutes. The amazing city of Brugge, Belgium can be reached in just under 30 minutes by car. All in all we really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Zeeland. Sluis is a lovely city.

The hotel parking lot is fairly small, so the spots were usually occupied. However, extensive public parking is available (for a small fee) right next to the hotel.

View of river and town from front rooms is best in Sluis. Hotel has had a major upgrade by the newish owners. Breakfast is varied and plentiful. All staff are happy - always a good sign. Hotel now has a very good lift.

Car park is a bit too small for number of rooms. However for 4 Euros per day (not per visit) there are plenty of public car parks; next door, across the road and at the rear.

Last year we went to have a drink at the hotel, not staying there. We started talking to the lady who owns the hotel and explained that we had a terrible hotel ourself and how we liked the hotel. After some chats she invited us to check out the rooms and how everything is remodeled. Just the friendliness and warm feeling of the hotel (de paauw) kept us thinking to book a room. This year we went back to Sluis, booked a room and had a great time staying at de paauw hotel. very friendly staff, amazing room and very close to the city center. We stayed for diner and took the option for the menu, everything was very nice. Once we came to the dessert, we decided to reorder it because it was so good. props to the chef! Breakfast was a more limited selection but non the less all the best ingredients where present. Morning crew was very friendly and after our check out, we decided to go shopping and came back for another drink. Would stay at the hotel again!

Room, location, staff, quality, quantity and price of food - brilliant value

Only drag was the car parking, we got there early evening, no space in hotel car park so had to use next door public one, €8 for 24 hours, not covered by hotel, still given the overall excellence and this being a common occurrence in UK, not much to go on about.

Very welcoming, comfortable hotel with a good restaurant in a lovely location.

It's worth highlighting that, for many people, the restaurant closes early-ish (we arrived a little late so wanted to eat at 8pm). They did their best to accommodate us though, and we were given a limited choice of food, which turned up to be very nice. A better place to lock up bikes would be good too.

A perfect location next to the canal and a very easy walk around the charming town. The room was modern and clean with all the facilities you need. The staf were very friendly, good evening meal and an excellent breakfast. Couldn't ask for more.

My wife's only complaint was that the lighting in the bathroom mirror, where the magnifying mirror was mounted, wasn't good.

Absolutely everything! This is our 3rd time staying here and we honestly will not stay anywhere else. The owner, Jeroen and his family are lovely. The rooms are clean, tidy. Beds are comfortable, shower pressure good, the breakfast has good options and the location is perfect.

Nothing.

The location was perfect for the town of Sluis. Our room was situated on the ground floor which was clean and beds very comfortable. Excellent breakfast with many choices. Staff were polite and very helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing

The room (in the new wing) was very comfortable, well designed and equipped. Airco was efficient and quiet for once! Friendly and flexible staff. Location: bang in the middle of Sluis.

Too many tables in the restaurant, rather close together.

The restaurant food was exceptional. Restaurant service was good too. Large bedroom and bed. The fittings throughout were very good. Very convenient and attractive location near the town. On-site carpark.

On-site car park was small and a bit tricky to access.
