The Meidenkamer (Maidens Room) is all about hospitality. The Meidenkamer is a Bed & Breakfast located in a superb spot in Goudriaan, a little village within easy reach (30 km) of Rotterdam and Utrecht. The area is very pretty and tranquil, ideal for cycling and walking. De Meidenkamer has three rooms with three, two and one bed(s) respectively. There is also a little guesthouse that can be occupied by two people. You will have an unique view across the Dutch polders!
In the morning you will be treated with an extensive continental Breakfast. In the back of the garden, at the water’s edge, there is a little pavilion, not to be used to spend the night in but all the more to enjoy quietly of a dazzling sunset.
You will hear the silence!!

In 2006 the site of Dordrecht's former drinking water company has been transformed into 1.5 hectares of (kitchen) gardens. The former pumping station (1942) now is a restaurant and the monumental water tower (1882) has become a hotel.

The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner in which predominantly organic products are used; right from the garden onto your plate! There is a bakery as well where sourdough bread, cakes and biscuits are made.

The informal atmosphere of the hotel makes you feel completely at home; as if you are staying with friends!
