No room service unless you are booked in a suite. Very disappointing after a long day of work and travel. They have a refrigerator in the room and you can buy a mini bar snack pack for 15 euros that includes an assortment of snacks and alcoholic and soft beverages. One more thing- lighting in the room was soft,muted,shadowy. Great for ambience. Not so great for putting your make up on. Overall, nice and I would stay here again.

The rooms were ok, I was on the ground floor furthest away from reception and the room was very quite considering that the motorway is less than 200 yards away!! It does turn into a bit of a labyrinth on the lower ground floor. The hotel is well used by businesses as it has a wide range of meeting rooms, big and small. The staff were all helpful and friendly. It is a tidy and clean hotel. The restaurant is large and always had a good helping of business people, hotel guests and walk-in's. Whilst it was not the most adventurous menu it was functional and certainly did the job. THey have bikes for hire so if you have the time there are a couple of paths which take you off into the local forest, if you go the right way you will stumble across a nice little cafe.

The location is serene and quiet.Rent bikes from the hotel and around the country side and ride to Harderwijk to sip wine by the river Vecht. The rooms are like little private residences and not hotel-esq at all. Updated, modern and clean. The restaurant staff and amazing food is mind blowing. I recommend the tasting menu with wine pairing. We will stay here again next year. The location is easy enough to take the train to Amsterdam or Rotterdam. We were over impressed with this hotel and wish we could have stayed another night. Highly recommend this hotel.

They offer bike rentals which was convenient; however, it was $15 a day which is pricer than we anticipated.

Merel van Dort from The Slaak recommended the Rotterdam Marriott, and even offered to cover the difference in rate. Bonus point #1 to Merel for having done this! I then began working with Demi Vevat at the Rottderdam Marriott, who managed the transition seamlessly. We had a few last minute cancellations, which she also graciously allowed us to cancel. From working with Demi, to checking in, to our overall experience, I have to say the customer service at this hotel is as good as it gets! Everyone went above and beyond to ensure our stay was great! Shout out also to Olaf, who was a gem to work with! The rooms were spacious and clean, the Concierge Lounge had a great breakfast and evening snacks. We had a couple of meetings in there that afforded us a quiet spot to meet. The proximity to the train station is PERFECT, and the ability to walk to many places is easy. I would definitely stay at this property again! Thank you again to both Olaf and Demi!!

They have a convenient location to the train station, downtown and shopping. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. There are a couple bicycles available for rent.

I liked the big screen TV with the news. This Hotel was a wonderful part of our vacation.

What was so disappointing was that if had they simply responded to my initial inquiry I would have been able to cancel for less, very shady practice.

Decorated in the contemporary, minimalistic style, everything is all about clean lines and a polished look. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable, if a little bare. We requested a room with two beds, but they gave us two single beds pushed together. The room itself came with an older television, two chairs, and a small table. There were also plenty of available outlets. Wifi is consistent thoughout the hotel (YAY!). The bathroom was serviceable. Oddly, the bathroom door only covered half of it. Lol. It kept the place dry though. There were also plenty of towels. The rest of the hotel was nice. Again, the contemporary look was common throughout. Especially in the lobby and bar area. Breakfast is served at seven, buffet-style. The regular menu consists of various breads (croissants!!!), cheeses, cold cuts, eggs (scrambled and hard-boiled), bacon, sausages, fruits, yogurts, and cereals. The drink menu consisted of orange, apple, and pineapple juice, milk, coffee, and tea. Location-wise, the surrounding area is a little dead. There are several different restaurants and cafés, but they're rarely busy. If you're willing to walk a little bit (less than five minutes), you'll hit a fairly busy shopping area. Other than that, there's not too much to do. Amsterdam is roughly an hour away. Overall, the Apollo is a nice place to stay for a couple nights -- but I wouldn't make a full vacation of the area.

It's at least 45 minutes (30 miles) to the city center and while there is a rail line, it takes equally as long. The hotel itself is situated in downtown Lelystad, which is a planned community on "artificial land". There's a grocery store nearby as well as several bars and restaurants - though the town seemed pretty dead when we were around. The hotel itself is pretty nice, reasonably modern, and well-kept. The food was good (we ate breakfast and dinner there), and the service was friendly. There is some odd marketing (e.g. shower caps that say "don't wear me out of the room"), but it's not that bad -- just quirky. All-in-all, it's a pretty good hotel, just a not particularly convenient location.
