Reviews for Hotel Papendal

Review 1：If access to the city is a must, this is a distance. Despite being in the midst of an impressive athletics campus, the actual hotel gym is poor. The bare minimum to qualify as a gym: 2 handweights, 3 cardiovascular machines, 2 yoga mats. No guest access to any other gym.

Review 2：Staff were very friendly. Facilities were in great condition, functional, and modern. Beautiful place. The forests surrounding are great, great access. Able to rent a bike.

Review 3：Far away from Arnchem but it is my fault haven't chcecked exactly before booking. Taxi from railway station about 30 Euro one way

Review 4：Dutch National Olympic Center. Very nice location. Nice place.

Review 5：breakfast variety was reduced compared to previous visits....but as only very few guests were in the hotel this is undersatndable and it was still ok!

Review 6：nice gym and sauna, superior room is very nice

Review 7：Breakfast average for British tastes. Room small.

Review 8：Easy parking. Luggage trollies available as room was distance from reception. Extensive gym, steam room great. Helpful reception for late arrival. Very clean and tidy.

Review 9：The small bed was not the most comfortable of my trip, but ok.

Review 10：Great location . . . no add'l charge for parking. Wonderfulbreakfast included with stay.

Review 11：It's outside the city so unless you are here for a meeting or have a cer, it is hard to get around

Review 12：Very nice, modern, and professional hotel with a nice pub and breakfast

Review 13：Noisy, the room is not well isolated. Every step of the neighboring people can be heard from my room. The twin room has a very small single beds. I could hardly turn while sleeping because I was afraid I might fall.

Review 14：The location is very good in the middle of the woods.

Review 15：Nothing.

Review 16：Brilliant place to stay when in Arnhem's neighbourhood. Value for money cannot be beaten, really nice beds and very funny texts on the soap in the bathroom. Excellent breakfast and very friendly staff. Have stayed there now for four times and always super.

Review 17：The room is average, not too large and a bit basic

Review 18：quiet environment, in a green area. The restaurant is really very good. They cook food in a open kitchen, which is always a sign of professionality

Review 19：WiFi dropped out on occasions in the morning, otherwise nothing.

Review 20：The Olympic nature of the site does not detract from an excellent hotel that looks after its paying guests in an splendid manner. Rooms are fine, evening meal and breakfast were excellent. Unfortunately didn't have the time to use the other facilities. Plenty of free parking and only a short distance from Arnhem and Oosterbeek.

Review 21：That our 2nd trip to that hotel and everything is still perfect... room, service, surrounding, 5 star breakfast and last but not the least all this in quiet location (very rare in Holland at these days...)

Review 22：Really only a very minor issue: sauna area was a bit small.

Review 23：Deliciously home-made smoked salmon at breakfast! Lovely hotel in a quiet 'resort' type of surrounding. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Friendly service at check in. Opportunity to rent bikes at reasonable price and play golf for beginners. That, in combination with the free sauna facilities made for a lovely weekend trip.

Review 24：Location

Review 25：Too far out and local bus stop over a km away, worth paying extra to stay in town as I spent €80 on taxis and I was only there a day. Booked breakfast but had to leave early and wasn't offered an alternative.

Review 26：Wifi works only in the lobby

Review 27：Clean, basic room and friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing and definitely worth the money and they served even gluten-free bread. There's storage room for bikes too!

Review 28：The hotel was part of a huge sports centre with large grounds, including an 18 hole challenging pitch and putt course. There were a wide variety of guests but predominantly younger Dutch. However, we never felt out of place and were made very welcome. It was a little further from Arnhem than we expected but there was a very good bus service or an easy 7km drive. The staff were excellent, always helpful. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the food choice was very good, slightly spoiled by the cooked food not being very hot but overall that was very minor. The Arnhem museum was about 4km away and very easy to find.

Review 29：Breakfast is just too pricey.

Review 30：Awesome, large facilities, used by the Netherlands Olympic athletes and many others for training. Accommodations are simple, but elegant, and aimed at athletes and amateurs who are working out outdoors. Some Orange in the decor.

Review 31：Not sure about the location of the toilet in regards to where the sink was. Didn't seem it was quite well planned out in regards to hygiene.

Review 32：a very nice hotel close to everything we wanted to see in arnhem. Even though it was a busy hotel with lots of 'younger' people in groups. we never heard anything from our bedroom. The beds were fantastic. have never slept so well. The breakfast buffet was excellent.

Review 33：A very nice hotel but our room looked more like a college dorm room -complete with single beds and bean bag chair.

Review 34：The rooms were clean and quiet. Nice bathroom. Easy to get around as it is just off the main hwy.

Review 35：Wellll.... just one thing. It would be nice if one could wash his/her hands in the toilet.

Review 36：This is a straight-forward place, nicely located, not really for the romantics, no boutique hotel, great beds, good shower, nice and helpful staff, excellent breakfast.

Review 37：Standard rooms are quite basic, more like a conference centre. A bit noisy in the evening with windows open.

Review 38：Very convenient for the motorway and Hoge Veluwe national park. Good overall facilities. Excellent wifi for a hotel. Slightly strange as it is part of a larger complex (including conference centre) and very sports-oriented.

Review 39：Insufficient noise isolation. We were not allowed to enter parking premises in front of the hotel although there was enough space left. Instead we had to park 500m away. Possibly due to ongoing conferences/ daytime visitors.

Review 40：breakfast, location, facilities, toiletries (so funny!), bike rental

Review 41：As a four star hotel they fall short of: - no double beds: you need to request to put the beds together - they come for cleaning once a day: if you are asleep in the morning, no action is taken to tidy up the room later during the day - the sport and wellness facilities are minimal: a 3-person sauna and 2 person turkish steam cabin, 4 fitness machines - rooms and restaurant are located on two extreme sides of the hotel

Review 42：the staff is very pleasant and service-oriented.

Review 43：Having a dubble bed is not even an option in this hotel- which is a pity for a couple. The stream in the shower was a bit low and it was quite dark in the shower.

Review 44：The beds were super comfortable. The sauna and the small gym were very nice, clean and tidy. Personnel was very nice and helpful

Review 45：Rooms - simple but everything you could ever wish for Amazing Mattress which gave a very good nights sleep. Food was very good quality and very healthy. Quiet rooms, no disturbance. Lovely people on reception and in restaurant. Good Car Parking. I will visit here again when I next in Arnhem,

Review 46：simple but nice rooms. Nothin g fancy....but if you like to do some sports in the evening and going into the sauna this is the right hotel to choose. Good breakfast

Review 47：Restaurant we booked for evening meal very limited choice, however the breakfasts were excellent. The rooms could benefit having kettle cups etc to make a drink.

Review 48：The reception staff were excellent. The rooms were clean & modern

Review 49：Just the window view but how long do you spend In a room?!

Review 50：Clean, friendly place with happy and informative staff. Nice sized, clean and comfortable room just not a fantastic view of the back yard! Also reasonably priced though I tried to book again and it's price doubled!! (probably because it's December).

Review 51：Have been staying there every year for seven years and every time am very happy there. Good breakfast, professional staff, clean rooms, relaxed environment. 5/5!
