“A Dutch experience with potatoes”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2009
1
person found this review helpful

I'd agree and disagree with some of the comments here previously. Why, for example, would anyone construct a restaurant with picture window views of the A1 Amsterdam to Apeldoorn motorway? There's no question, in a Dutch context, it's in a pretty area - woods and inevitably lots of cycling tracks which they cater for. But the rooms are functional, spacious but ultimately lacking in contemporary style. Totally agree about the lack of a bar area and a minibar in the room; sometimes we just need to have a beer and be sociable and then maybe we'll eat....not that there is a choice once you're here.

The restaurant is enormous, and so perhaps hints at what they are expecting - lots of passing traffic, the place filled with passing summer travellers; the menu has many 'senior specials', again a reason why one third of the tables were filled early evening. I'd describe the food as ordinairy. And never, ever in my life have I been served four, that's FOUR, different types of potatoes with dinner; French fries, jacket potato, boiled skin-on potatoes and roesti. Please, I know there's a recession on, and spuds are cheap, but a little more imagination please! And no inquiry, like in Belgium, how I'd like my steak done. A large piece of meat arrived with more pink that I would have liked.

No complaints about the front desk service, friendly also in the restaurant.

And here's the irony: in the land of excellent 'fritjes' here they were 'vreselijk'. Soggy, tired, flavourless - so unappetesing I didn't finish them.

“average place, bad service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2008

Rooms are OK, but although there was an air condition in the room, it as unbearable hot in July. The front desk doesn't care, but that seems like typical in this place. Everything is average in this hotel. Only service is below.

“Good rooms, good food, rude front desk”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2008
1
person found this review helpful

I have stayed many times in this hotel over the years, it has been renovated a few years ago. The prices are reasonable, rooms are large with nice bathrooms (except for a few rooms that have not been renovated). Front desk staff is very rude and arrogant. Restaurant staff is friendly, but very slow. Food is good though and huge portions for resonable prices. There is a bar and yes it is accesible for everyone, not just parties. You need a car to get here, there is no walking to town as it is a so called highway hotel.
This is one of the better hotels in Hollland for this price, also very popular for Dutch people. The only bad thing here is the rude staff at the reception.
There is WIFI but unfortuntely not a stand alone internet computer for guests anymore.

  • Liked — nice and spacy rooms
  • Disliked — rude front desk staff

“A run of the mill hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2006
1
person found this review helpful

Having stayed at many hotels through business I can say that this hotel is at best average.
The rooms are not air conditioned, have no mini bar, and in general the rooms are dirty and not well maintained.
The restaurant is understaffed and the staff that are there tend to amble around and seem more interested in their own personal discussions than waiting on customers. In three days I have yet to recieve hot food cooked to order.
There is no seperate bar area and the one that exists is for "parties only."
So you are left with the terrible service in the restaurant and the great multitude of flies due to the lack of air con.
Menus are only available in Dutch.
Internet access is only guaranteed in the restaurant and reception area.
The reception staff are surly and on the whole very unhelpful.
How this hotel can advertise itself as a leisure and business hotel is beyond me but perhaps I am picky as I have stayed in many top class hotels throughout the world as a business traveller.
At best I would place it as a good two star rather than the four star it claims to be.
