Hotel papendal has two splitted areas: a modern 4* business and an old 3* part. Hotel sells the 3* star (with ugly old rooms) as a 4* accomodation and will not grade you up to the confirmed level. This means you won't get what you paid for while the front desk receptionist is not willing to offer any help or... More

This hotel is more a resort since they not only offer rooms but also offer meeting rooms and many sport facilities (although no pool actually inside the hotel). Because of the sporting facilities many athletes from all over Europe visit the complex for training purposes. We stayed in the hotel for a multiple day business meeting. Facilities were ok, WIFI...

The design of the hotel looks like the mausoleum, the design of the rooms is interesting for a basic 2 stars hotel; it feels like visiting the boy scouts. This is not a hotel, not even good for 3 stars. The rooms have only small beds, with each a to small very thin blanket. Lightning is poor, and the heating-system... More

I was surprised by the facilities. It has recently been renovated, the result is good. More

We weren’t sure we were in the right place when we arrived at the campus that feels like an olymic-themed business campus, but were very happy with our stay once we realized we were in the right place! For 80 Euro, the room was beautifully modern, brand new and clean with excellent bedding. Wide screen TV, friendly English speaking staff,... More
