Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its perks and drawbacks. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but they gave off a bit of a student accommodation vibe. The service was friendly but lacking attention during dinner. The location was great for exploring war sites but a bit remote. The dining experience was good with some minor hiccups. Overall, a decent place for a stay.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the National Park Hoge Veluwe and Papendal, surrounded by quiet nature, making it a great spot for cycling enthusiasts. The rooms are well-equipped and spotless, perfect for young people and sports enthusiasts. The service, from reception to the restaurant, is friendly and efficient. The dining options offer healthy and varied choices, but some items may run out quickly. Overall, a nice option for those looking to explore the outdoors and enjoy a relaxing stay.
The hotel is positioned with a 'Sports' theme, offering a room setup reminiscent of student accommodation. While the room lacked traditional amenities like a wardrobe, it had quirky features like a pull-out desk and a unique telephone shelf within one of the single beds. The setting away from conferencing and dining facilities might give a cheap impression due to the basic furnishings.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while modern, clean, and comfortable, resembled student accommodation, which was a bit unexpected. The lack of certain furnishings like a wardrobe was noticeable. However, the service, especially at reception and in the restaurant, was very friendly and efficient. The location, particularly for exploring the Hoge Veluwe National Park, was excellent. The dining experience offered a good selection of healthy options, but the timing for hot food items was limited. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is located amidst a forest, perfect for researching the Battle of Arnhem/Oosterbeek, with welcoming reception staff who all speak English. The rooms are very basic, but clean, and the dining experience is delicious with incredible food. The sauna and gym facilities are very handy, offering an amazing experience overall.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, especially the suites, felt like student accommodation - cold without the chance to warm up, but the suites were a pleasant surprise with their comfortable and well-appointed features. The service was hit or miss, with some staff members being too busy to acknowledge us while others made us feel like an inconvenience. The location, while convenient for motorway connections, felt a bit enclosed like a prison but did offer handy amenities like a sauna and gym. The dining experience was quite small and out of the way, although the hotel did offer some special dishes. Overall, it was an experience of highs and lows.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but they had a more basic setup that resembled student accommodation. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making my experience enjoyable. The location was great for exploring the surrounding area, especially for visiting war sites. The dining options offered healthy and delicious choices, even though they were a bit pricey. The facilities were good, but the rooms could use some improvement in terms of amenities and layout.
The hotel rooms were very clean but resembled student accommodation with single beds and limited storage. The lack of air conditioning could be uncomfortable during warmer days. However, the service was friendly and attentive, and the location was peaceful, ideal for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience was decent but slightly overpriced.
I stayed at this hotel that offered functional rooms with en suite bathrooms. The room felt like student accommodation with clean surroundings but lacked certain amenities. The location was peaceful, excellent for exploring the surrounding areas, but transportation is necessary due to its remote setting. The dining experience was satisfying, especially at the Arnhem Hall. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some room for improvement.
My stay at Papendal was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, while clean, felt outdated and not in line with the overall appearance of the hotel. The location was beautiful and peaceful, perfect for exploring the surrounding attractions, but a bit remote without easy access to amenities. The service was friendly, though somewhat removed from main facilities. The dining experience was pleasant but with limited options for special dietary needs.
