Very good van der Valk, outstanding breakfast

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Jan 2020
This is a very very good van der Valk hotel. Excellent service, comfortable rooms and the best van der Valk (and I had a few) breakfasts I had, ever. It is situated just near the highway and set up in a very spacious way. It was one of the most appealing looking hotel buildings of the chain I had seen so far. Been there over November and December 2019. Christmas decorations made it look very attractive. One major plus was the fact the building is 'only' 3 stories high, but due to the ground floor sizes, it is quite big. The walking distance to your room could be a bit more of course. But I liked this way of architecture as compared to the taller ones. Wi-Fi was good, Gym/Fitness is spacious, nice view of the inner garden and good quality equipment. The indoor swimming pool also present. Special and very special note for breakfast. It is the most and biggest buffet I have seen so far from them (compared to the seating/hotel size). I won't even go into naming it all, but most positive from my end was the organic and local foods they have. That is really outstanding. Live Cooking and everything there. Very fresh, very good. Again, this is one of my favorites. I always come in late and have to leave early, but every stay was excellent. Will for sure return here, most important is the sleeping quality. Low noise rooms and good beds. Minor remark on the pillows, they are quite 'high' and big, so if you aren't used to that it could result in cramps possibly. But again, all full stars for this place. Well earned

    we had a one night stay in this lovely rather new hotel and enjoyed the room. Everything was there, good bed, nice windows, very quiet at night and a bathroom with all things you need there, even a seperate toilet (without washing basin) next to the bathroom for privacy. The restaurant was excellent too.

    Room tip: the hotel is quiet, little sound from outside, even with an open window

    From the moment that arrive at the hotel, i felt welcome. The hotel is very beautiful and there is free parking. It's close the highway but that is no problem for the noise.

    The hotel is nog a typical high 'Vandervalk hotel' but is cosy and suits the nature and garden around the hotel.

    The rooms are very big and with a shower and bath and a seperate toilet. There is also a Dyson Hairdryer and a big closet. The breakfast was really good too!
    I read that they have a pool too. The only negative thing as that our room was located above the garage where the deliveries come. It was always very early in the morning and quite noisy.

    Room tip: Ask for a room with view on the garden

    This hotel looks superb from the outside and from the inside. Great style and great looking staff. My comfort room was spacious, very nice looking with a separate walk-in closet a giant bath and a separate walk-in closet. Two issues, one was the min bar,it contains two free bottles of water of which one was opened and only a quarter full. should have been replaced by a new one. Bigger issue was the duvet, it would have been great in Siberia where it is -10 degrees. But in the summer wheather in the Netherlands it was way to heavy. I asked the reception after the first night for a solution and they would get in touch with housekeeping. That evening unfortunately nothing had changed which meant thee nights of uncomfortable sleeping. Breakfast was great, selections were very extensive. Prices at this hotel are steep but then again it looks great, the gardens and wellness looks great the restaurant is great.

    An excellent hotel. The staff were very helpful, food good, the room spotless and modern. Toliet is separate. Bath and douche with amenities. Definitely recommend this hotel. Opened last year but ranks as one of the best Van der Valk hotels. Very big swimming pool sauna’s and a terrific gym. A pity the gym is only open at 7 am it would be nice if an earlier time is given I.e. 6 or 6.30am. It is also spotless with enough towels. We will definitely come back. It is also a convenient location to make trips or going biking in the area.

    Room tip: Room facing the garden.

    Had an amazing stay at this lovely hotel. The decor is original and a lot of attention to detail spent on it. The minute you walk into the reception you get blown away with an amazing scent.
    The furniture, lights and even carpet have been carefully chosen and whoever was the interior designer deserves praise.
    The hotel is located near a busy motorway ( A50) but you think you are in the middle of no-where it’s quite and the outside is landscaped tastefully with wild flowers a walking path with some benches to sit on and on a summers evening you can have a drink on the patio.
    Bikes are for hire and there is an indoor swimming pool.
    The breakfast buffet is amazing, everything freshly cooked from bacon to any kind of egg you desire.
    The choice of bread and pastries are huge.
    The room is great, separate toilet and a massive bathroom with rain shower. Lovely toiletries and a dyson hairdryer. The bed, duvet, bedding and pillows very comfortable. Having stayed in numerous hotels this one definitely tops it. Being a frequent Apeldoorn visitor I will definitely be back and can highly recommend it.
    Prices are great too especially if you book early you can get some great deals.
