This new hotel was quite comfortable and convenient to the train station & central Enschede…read more Typical Dutch efficiency. Better than decent breakfast, though short of outstanding. Lots of glass in sleeping rooms lets the sun in; effective curtains keep it out. The lobby is two floors up from the street level: very hipster. But having to take two elevators every time you go in or out might just get a little old.

Very relaxing hotel. This was my second stay here and I really like this hotel. The rooms are very…read morebig and comfortable. The breakfast is excellent with lots of delicious options to choose from. Lots of parking is available as well. There is also a restaurant as well. I ate dinner there the first night. It was good but not great. It was a little on the expensive side as well.

Atmosphere is relaxed and wait staff were as attentive and professional as I have come to expect in this region. A dual language menu was offered immediately upon my being seated. I arrived without a reservation on a Sunday evening and was quickly seated in my requested smoking area. The smoking section looks to be comprised of the five booths in the bar area, four of which were occupied by the time I finished eating. A reservation might be required on a busier evening than Sunday to insure table availability This is my first post-Yelp member visit, though I have eaten here once before. We brought our two dogs with us on the previous visit. They were welcomed and, as is customary in all dog friendly venues here, were provided with a bowl of water. If memory serves, they were also treated to a couple doggie biscuits by the jovial German woman who seated us on that occasion. My dinner this evening consisted of a starter bowl of Tomato soup, which arrived shortly after a small basket of bread and butter were delivered to my table. It was served piping hot and made for a delicious pre-meal appetizer. My sirloin (rumpsteak) was cooked as ordered (medium). It was covered in a mustard/peppercorn sauce and set atop a bed of crisp-cooked French style green beans. The hotel/bar restaurant sits on a very pastoral and well manicured bit of land with ample parking. About the bill, and the standards of Germans in regard to tipping: Tomato soup, one beer, one Coke and one latte, along with the sirloin ordered as main course (and served with fried potatoes in a side dish) was under €34. Tipping ten percent makes you a bit prominent in an area where locals often leave half that. Tipping at a fifteen percent or more on any consistent basis as a regular customer is likely to get you treated with God status in most places by staff while saddled with lunatic American spendthrift status by the indigenous population. Being a waiter in Germany is a career path that starts late in high school and ends in a respectable job with a living wage and affordable healthcare as a minimum. In the US, the Federal Minimum wage law for waiters who receive tips is $2.13 per hour (€1.55/hour!). I'm almost certain that such a compensation system would be considered a criminal enterprise around here. When you leave a tip here, it's going to fund the waiters next travel vacation. In the US, it's something I always left a bit more of because I knew the waitstaff needed it as a large part of their basic economic survival. At the end of the day, I tip a bit less here in Germany, but I feel a whole lot better about doing it. Enjoy.

Went here for a meeting at University of Twente. The hotel is just next to campus and at the…read moreoutskirts of Enschede. The hotel is situated in a small forest area so the settings are really nice. The hotel is part of the Eden / Hampshire chain. The reception is set in a modern style and the staff at the front desk are very friendly. The hotel has rooms that are single and double floor. The two floor rooms have OK space, but the layout is not optimal. The bathroom is on another floor than the bedroom. However the rooms are relatively modern with internet, TV on demand, ... The bathrooms are large and all the amenities are up to date, so very pleased. The beds are nice and comfortable and there is plenty of light overall a great experience. The hotel charges 10 EUR / night for internet, which is a bit much, and the speed is not exactly fast (had ~ 30kb/s on my connection).

The fiancé and I spent 3 nights here while he was attending a conference at the University of…read moreTwente. Pretty much the only reason you would stay at this hotel was if you had business at the University. It is not close to the central part of Enschede and is a 15 euro trip by taxi away. So round trip, that can really add up. There are 2 different restaurants at the Eden. The one on the main floor has two sides. One side has a contemporary look and a fireplace and the other has an older style with wood accents. The Eden is one of the few places near the University that can host a large dinner. One night we had a buffet dinner at the other restaurant which was on a lower level. It had a small lift if you can't navigate the stairs. The downstairs restaurant is the same place where they serve the breakfast if you are staying at the hotel. It is on an honor system, so when you check out just let them know know many days you had breakfast there. So different from the US- it was wonderful that they were so trusting! The rooms were ok. We were on the main floor, and i have no idea if there was an elevator to get you to the upper floors as all I saw were stairs. The bathrooms were a little dated and the curtains in the room had some unknown stain spewed across them. But, overall, it was an ok place which was a 15 minute walk to the University. I don't think the Eden was spectacular, but out of the hotels near the University I think this is the best bet!
