Detailed Reviews
This was a hotel that was highly rated by previous guests and I can see why. The rooms are clean, modern, well designed, nicely furnished and have great views. There is ample, free, car parking. The staff were really helpful and really made us feel welcome and comfortable. We enjoyed the food. The bed was supportive and comfortable. The small railway station next door is very convenient if you do not want to take the car. The hotel and especially the room was very quiet with no intrusive noise from other guests or outside.

For business, this is a really good hotel. Rooms are good size and very clean - admittedly I got upgraded to a corner room so had views on 2 walls! Nijmegen-Lent train station is next door, so it’s very convenient. Also a car park on-site. You can hear the train, but it’s not that bad and dies down towards the latter part of the evening.
The food in the restaurant is very good and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. We asked for a slight variation to our meal and the staff made it sound like it was normal. My colleague had the burger, without the bun, but extra salad/veg. I had the chicken burger without the bun and extra salad including changing my fries to sweet potato fries. Which it’s complicated, but I have had some waiters look at me as though I was crazy not having bread in Europe of all places! Not to mention the wine is very good too!
Breakfast has a very good selection and there are takeaway cups by the coffee machines.
Bedroom also has a coffee machine and kettle with teabags.
In general, this is a very comfortable hotel and location is good too. My only thing now, which is possibly on the air of environmental, the mini shower gels, shampoo, conditioner etc which I think I would prefer to see the large bottles by the sink and in the shower. With a 2 night stay, I have got through 1.5 bottles of shower gel as they are pretty small, but too much for one night. Seems a lot of wastage.
Agree that I might be nitpicking as I have just commented on being able to have a takeaway coffee… although I do always have my travel mug and refill water bottle. No one wants to spill hot coffee when you’re in the back of a taxi or train!

We booked a corner comfort room. Very cool room with an amazing view from the 10th floor. Staff was not very friendly at check in. Very degrading regarding the Corona rules. Room service was expensive (5,50 for the service) and when you order a 27 euro steak you expect it to be warm and cooked as ordered. Room was overal clean but toilet wasn’t. But great location and view!!

The view was great. The location was accessible to many roads and close to canals, as well as just a short walk (30 min) from Nijmegen central. The hotel room was clean. The employees were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet had a great variation of food. A little bit on the expensive side.

This hotel has an excellent public transport connection (bus/train) with the center of Nijmegen. The room was spacious with a beautiful panoramic view towards Nijmegen. The breakfast was fine; as you would expect from van der Valk. Parking at the hotel is well arranged; If you supply the license plate in advance, you have immediate access to the parking garage.

Not in the middle of the center of Nijmegen, but therefor very easily accessible by car. Large parking next to hotel, to be used by guests. Nijmegen is easily accessible by bike or by foot; a walk and bike lane starts at the hotel and brings you directly into the center of Nijmegen (1,5KM). Superb breakfst, clean, modern rooms, very friendly staff.

Spend the night here after an event in the Gelredome. Due to its location, this hotel is an ideal solution for not having to drive home. License plate recognition makes it easy to drive your car in and out throughout your stay. But if you want to go to Nijmegen, leave the car at home and take the train from the adjacent station. Very easy and in the rooms you don't notice the trains passing by.
The rooms, in our case the corner room with open bathroom, are spacious and because of the placement of the bed in the middle of the room there is enough space in the room to store things. There is also a sofa at the foot of the bed where you can lounge, but in this type of room you can also sit on the windowsill to enjoy the view. Depending on the side, you look out over the Rhine valley or over the Waal and the city of Nijmegen.
The bed slept well and was fine to lie on. The net curtains gave us the opportunity to open the curtains a little earlier and still stay in bed in the morning.
The breakfast buffet was decent and there was a wide choice of different types of breakfast, for example with dairy, with bread or a hot breakfast.
After our first return since opening, the hotel has not changed a bit and the service is still just as good. And the booking for next year has already been made!

Large open room with a great view from the 13th floor over Lent, Arnhem, Nijmegen and the Waal. Van der Valk has its own parking garage where you can easily park your car. The adjacent train station (Lent) is useful when you want to go to Nijmegen Central Station.

Lovely hotel. Great location right next to the train station, 4 mins on the train into the centre of Nijmegen with trains every 30 mins. Helpful and friendly staff. Free car parking, easy to get a space in the multi storey car park attached to the hotel.
The breakfast buffet was incredible! Crepe/ omelette live cooking, extensive hot and cold buffets and even Prosecco if you fancied it.

Room sparsely furnished, all kinds of defects, safe broken, was fixed fairly quickly. Bath slowly fills and drained despite stop, sink drain clogged. Room on low floor requested, crappy view on parking deck, despite low floor it should be possible to have reasonable view, right? Hotel has 4 sides.
Breakfast and dinner very good. Staff over dinner expressed clearly audible negative reactions from guests. Staff in whole hotel not friendly. Can take a cue from many other Valk hotels, such as Valk Zwolle.

Super geregeld. Station is naast hotel. Drie minuten naar centraal station Nmgn. En per (leen-)fiets fiets je ook in 5' over de fietsbaan naast de spoorbrug nr. centrum Nijmegen. Succes!
