Reviews for Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn - de Cantharel

Review 1：The shower was in the bath which is ok-ish, but the screen wasn't really big enough, so I sprayed water all over the floor ! Maybe that's just me ?

Review 2：Very easy and nice hotel and environment. Dinner and breakfast were both great.

Review 3：- Smell in the room (smelled like wet dogs) was terrible, although this is a room to take your pet with you, it doesn't have to smell like this! - There was nothing to give water or food in. - We expected something to sleep on for the dog too...

Review 4：-The possibility to take dog with us on the room. -The beds were very comfortable, - the location is super to take a walk in nature. - Restaurant also Good!

Review 5：The restaurant is quite overcorwded at dinner time as both the hotel and the restaurant are very popular.

Review 6：Beatiful, calm location. Spacious and clean rooms, comfortable beds. Super-modern equipment including a white leather sofa, flat screen TV and a cosmetic table. Large bathroom and a separate WC, spotless. Gorgeous restaurant terrace. Breakfast just perfect.

Review 7：The neighbours were up very early and as the windows and walls are pretty thin, we woke up early.

Review 8：Breakfast was fantastic. There is a garden where you can buy homegrown veggies and herbs for only €2,50 for a bag.

Review 9：If you want to book spa, call, no e-mail response and by the time I got there, all was fully booked.

Review 10：Close to the National park, which was the whole point. They have nice facilities but didn't get the chance to try.

Review 11：You need a car to get the place. The cleanliness is good, but there was a big sofa in our room. So when I was checking the room before check-out to found our lost belongings I was surprisingly found a lot of dust and other waste on the carpet beneath the sofa.

Review 12：The hotel is placed in forestry area and close to the few national parks. There are some privetly held horses in the facilities placed about 100 meters from the hotel. The food was delicious. All Facilities in a good condition. Exellent place for recreation. Will recommend this place to friends of mine.

Review 13：The staff at the reception was unpleasant and also asked if we will join the breakfast without mentioning that it costs 12 euro per person (!!!). Charged us without telling. Location of the hotel is quite solicited

Review 14：Big and clean rooms. Beautiful outdoors, plenty of parking space. Nice breakfast.

Review 15：Staff seems not always experienced in the restaurant. We've had great and very bad experiences at the restaurant. Room is not very clean.

Review 16：In close proximity of park 'de hoge Veluwe' musea etc etc. The food at the hotel restaurant is excellent and real good value for money!

Review 17：Staff in restaurant very slow to serve us and not very friendly, perhaps language was a barrier. We were overcharged for water we did not have.

Review 18：Lovely hotel, food lovely, rooms good size.

Review 19：Inexpensive, location on edge of forest, horse facility (we didn't have horses), vegetable/herb garden on site, restaurant was busy, and excellent.

Review 20：very clean comfortable and convenient. the free wifi was simple to use and effective. The rooms are quite eye-catching. the beds were very comfortable

Review 21：Not really designed for international travellers - no information in rooms in English/French etc No air conditioning in room Lots of glass so very hot in summer.

Review 22：Staff very well trained

Review 23：Breakfast was rich and excellent, the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Close to the highway. Free parking. The hotel was full and still very quite.

Review 24：Good quality hotel and well appointed room. Good location close to motorway but far enough away to be peaceful. Nice outdoor sitting area to the restaurant. Highlight was the food which was superb quality and good value.

Review 25：- The staff is not helpful and friendly - No coffee machine and refrigerator

Review 26：- Spacious room with large bathroom; - Nicely decorated interior; - Free parking - Clean and comfortable

Review 27：The location is fantastic with the National Park only down the road. One can go for a lovely walk just outside the hotel. The food at the hotel is amazing and for a good price.

Review 28：we were planing to visit the national park, this hotel is very near. It's convenience if you drive. Just next to the highway. Room is big and clean Good value for the buffer breakfast Free parking

Review 29：The metal rack used in the bathroom was put in a risky way and my wife banged her head against it while dealing with the baby.

Review 30：The hotel is surrounded by nature and has nice restaurant options. A good opportunity to visit nearby monkey zoo.

Review 31：We were booked in for two nights and had to ask to change after the first night because of a constant noise from something like a steam vent outside. The young lady on the desk seemed to think that because she didn't know what it was it didn't exist! But was helpful in the end.

Review 32：The spacious rooms and the views - and the wonderful choice for breakfast.

Review 33：There were a few places still with dust in the room.

Review 34：The rooms of this hotel chain (Van der Valk) are always spacious. This time also. For breakfast we had to pay extra but it was worth. We also had dinner here, it was not expensive and good quality. Child friendly - outside there is a playground which children of age 3-12 can enjoy. Just off the busy road but peaceful and full of woods around. Good WiFi connection.

Review 35：No hot water on Easter saturday (in both our rooms) and although requested, no reservation was made for us for breakfast on Sunday, so our family had to sit outside at the reception area. I would expect better service at a 4 star hotel.

Review 36：Nice hotel, spacious rooms, delicious breakfast.

Review 37：The evening meal could of had more vegetables.

Review 38：The setting, facilities and staff were excellent. The evening meal we had, celebrating the head of the family’s 90th birthday, was a high standard. The next morning, my wife and I had a good breakfast, with quality Dutch coffee, a selection of viennoiserie, muesli & yoghurts, a fine spread of cold meats, and a good cooked breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage and baked beans. The hotel/restaurant was packed with people, morning and evening, and it is easy to know why.

Review 39：Airco and shower needed maintenance. We arrived late and as a result could not get it serviced.

Review 40：Location is perfect. Besides business this hotel also has a lot to offer nature wise.

Review 41：Can get a bit busy,lots of locals frequent the restaurant here.

Review 42：Great location,in the forest, just off the main motorway, outside Appledoorn.Need a car. Ample car parking space, good restaurant and facilities

Review 43：Finding your way about in the hotel for the first day was a problem as there are no signs telling you how to get to the exits/reception/bar (There are of course fire exit signs, but they are for emergency only) The room layout has a very modern layout with the bath in the bedroom….not really for us, but I suppose that those liking this hip modern idea my like it.

Review 44：Great for access to the apeldoorn area for cycling and walking

Review 45：You could hear some louder guests as they walked past the room.if there was a loud party close by, it could be a problem.

Review 47：Not quite enough directional signage , this is quite a large hotel .

Review 48：Nice welcome, great buffet , well decorated , very nice spacious well appointed room, charming waiter , nice surroundings , great value .

Review 49：All the following are only minor irritants: Considering the huge room I would have preferred more wardrobe and shelf space, as there was plenty of space for them. More hooks on the walls for hanging, especially in the bathroom (e.g. to hang up washbag etc). Maybe a full length mirror.

Review 50：Cavernous room size and bathroom. Modern and pleasant. Comfy beds. Reasonable selection of UK TV stations. Plenty of parking space. Pleasant staff; indeed, in the restaurant, the waiter happily worked on to serve evening meal desserts after closing. Huge breakfast selection. Plenty of power sockets.

Review 52：Good comfort in large and quiet double room, good quality level at the restaurant, rich breakfast

Review 109：nothing

Review 110：really thought the family room was ideal for what we needed - very spacious and had everything we needed

Review 111：Restaurant not geared up for much other than the buffet. We had booked an A la Carte dinner and were shown to our table but then nothing. I eventually had to ask for menus, the food was ordered and then had to ask for a wine list. The food arrived with the wine following some time later. Throughout the whole meal there was an overwhelming smell of cooked meat from the buffet which did not go well with the non-meat courses.

Review 112：Large (but characterless) room, large well equipped bathroom, comfortable bed.

Review 113：The hotel rooms were apart from the reception and restaurant - if it had been raining that would have been a nuisance - but not really a complaint.

Review 114：The room was elegant and well-proportioned. The bathroom had a shower and a bath - rare! Good WIFI access. This is a large hotel, used to conferences. There was plenty of parking,( but it was full by the evening) The evening buffet option in the restaurant was good, and the breakfast was the standard choice. Altogether a most luxurious stay for the money

Review 115：this is not a place for family with children high price for breakfast including small children is the same price, not enough towels for everyone no bed sheets for 3 person in the room for 3 persons.

Review 116：Bathroom not really separated, problems with noise and moist air in room. Airco seemed to work all night, even with opened window and wasn't adjustable. Irritating humming noise like compressor through walls and floors in the night between 03:00 and 05:00. Only one doorkey card for double room.

Review 117：Good midnight reception, ample parking. Large inviting rooms. Good location close to highway and center of the country. Beautiful shower stall. Excellent wifi.
