Having read the trip advisor reviews I was a little concerned about this hotel. However, I figured that they were old so we'd give it a go as we were attending an event in Arnhem and it suited all our needs as a family. First off, they must have got rid of all the rude staff because right from the start the staff here were so helpful and friendly I don't know how anyone could fault them.
We booked a family suite which was two rooms divided by glass doors, one double bed and a fold out sofa - ideal for our family of four. There was a tv in each room, fridge and a balcony overlooking the beautiful grounds. Before arriving we were going to check in and go out for the day but soon changed our minds when we got there. There are two playgrounds for the children, a lake and an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. We had a lovely afternoon sitting on the terrace having drinks and ice creams while the children played in the sunshine. In the evening we used the restaurant and the food for adults was excellent with a buffet for the children which they very much enjoyed. When the kids had eaten they ran off to play in the indoor children's room which had numerous toys and books and a huge screen plays children's dvds, leaving us to enjoy a couple of drinks. We also ate breakfast in the morning which was also very good with a large buffet selection to satisy even the fussiest of Brits.
To sum it up, we would return to this hotel in a heartbeat! Having used this as a base to attend an event, the children said staying at the hotel was the best part of the trip!!
