Older hotel in Arnhem…read more Free WiFi, not protected. Has a nice full service restaurant inside. "free parking" means public parking with signs everywhere that they aren't responsible. TV doesn't support your Netflix account. Rooms don't have tech charging ports. Surprising in this day and age. No clock in room.

I have to say that I really enjoyed my stay here even though it was only for one night. The staff…read morewere really friendly, and not only was the wifi free but so was the breakfast (and a free breakfast is always good in my books). Sure, it is basically one of those chain hotels, the ones that I generally don't like staying at, but it was cheap, near the railway station (though I did take the wrong turn initially), and the beds comfy. Okay, they didn't have a bath for my brother, but he was able to deal with it for one night. As I have mentioned though, the staff were really friendly, and spoke multiple languages as well (but then I'm always one to compare which languages that we speak now that I know more than one).

Difficult to find by car due to one way streets. Car park at hotel but also badly indicated. Nice…read morerooms. Nice location at downtown. Good bathroom. Free Internet. No restaurant at hotel. Breakfast is simple.

Location is good. Service is friendly and beds are okay. No other positive points. This hotel is…read moreold, tired and worn out. It is not very clean. The rooms (at least mine) feels like stepping back in time 20 years or so. And not in a good way. Musty smell that doesn't dissappear even with opening the windows the whole night. Bathroom that is not clean, have to step in the bath to take a shower (not much water pressure so the measly curtain is no problem really) Breakfast is very basic - read "plastic cheese" and tough bake-off rolls. The chairs in the breakfast room were no less than filthy. Would not recommend.

Contrary to other review, I found our room neat and sophisticated, by US standards, but wth…read moreEuropean bedding(a thermofoam pallet on top of a foam base. Not sheeted as in US.) Modern plumbing and bath design. The public areas are indeed more dated, and cleaners totally overlook regular cleaning of carpet in the lift. Location is excellent, across street from central rail and bus station, and adjacent to large old-town retail/restaurant/bar blocks. Has bar and restaurant attached, though we did use them. Starbucks and McDonalds across the street, if needed. Biggest complaint: no air conditioning! You'd think this would not be a problem on days that were only in 60F's(15-20C,) but the inside rises to upper 70F's inside; difficult to sleep. Hotel discouraged opening windows for relief, but this would also have allowed outside noise. Informed another guest of fan in room; ours had none. The television offering is also sporadic, channels come and go. Fair selection of English channels as the often subtitle them for their own entertainment, and better choice than at our stay in Amsterdam.

This hotel is not in the center of Arnhem, which may be important if you are arriving by train and…read morenot by car. The Van Der Valk hotels are well known in The Netherlands. They get compared to Hiltons in the US. So a mid-level hotel. Location wise this is near Oosterbeek, and not too far from the Kroller-Moller Museum, a short drive to the center of Arnhem, passing the Arnhem Museum of Modern Art along the way. In 2012 I stayed here twice for a few nights each time. First, I would give 5 stars for the breakfast spread they put out. It does cost extra, but its a fixed price and if you like breakfast well worth it. The coffee alone is very nice. The restaurant here is a destination restaurant and its filled with locals for lunch and dinner both. I have learned that the hotel chain actually started as a restaurant, which may be why it remains so good. I did have dinner there once or twice, and it was also very good. They also have a conference space so have large meetings in the hotel, which then gets catered food. The rooms here are fairly large and pleasant. The bathrooms are very nice, they have been kept updated, roomy baths and showers. The beds are ok, not the best mattresses ever, but manageable. If you are on the ground floor your room will have a small patio, which is very pleasant. Chairs, a table etc. If you are on a higher floor you will have a small balcony. Since I believe the facility is nonsmoking, this is where people go to smoke, so it can be hit or miss on having the door to your room open etc. The parking lot is great and easy. The location of the hotel is just off one of the main highways, and I found it to be perfect, but I was spending time in Oosterbeek, at the museums as in a part of Arnhem near the hotel. 3 stars because: The wifi is not free, and was really expensive. I found this to be annoying, but also ludicrous. Even then, it was not very good wifi in the rooms, so you are paying for something that was sporadic and frankly not very useful. They need to upgrade that system pronto. When you discuss this with the front desk they say - "its not our system, its managed by xxx company, you need to call them etc." Really? Its a service you offer, but you don't support it? Get a better system, make it free and call it a day. They have an elevator, so you get onto that with your luggage and assume all will be well. Well, it may not be. The floors are not level and have stairs all over. 2 here, 5 there, 15 somewhere else. You get the idea. So walking with bags is really difficult. I did not find the front desk people to be equally helpful. There was one who was terrific. But some of the others were rude, they would keep you waiting while they reviewed something on their computer, they were not very helpful, in general I just did not find them to be terrific.

We stayed overnight in September 2019 as part of the Cosmos Tour Group of Netherlands. The hotel…read morepresented itself as old and in need of refurbishment. The hotel location is not ideal for those looking to go to the city center. There is nothing nearby this hotel. Our room was located at the far end of the lower level of the hotel. This created poor wifi reception. The room was small and had furniture that was also old and in need of replacement. The hotel was clean overall but it was a very basic hotel. Buffet dinner was provided on our stay. The hotel was busy and had a lot of guests. The staff seemed overwhelmed and this resulted to a slight delay with being served dinner. The breakfast buffet was adequate for European standards.
