Hotel Papendal is a no frills contemporary yet comfortable basic stay hotel used for the Dutch Olympics team. Amazing value, but you get what you expect. Food in the bar wasn't great, but plenty of places nearby to visit instead. Would recommend for a stay when visiting the Airborne Museum ‘Hartenstein’ in Oosterbeek.

We had a great stay at this Hotel. The room was spacious, well thought-out, and we had a lovely view over the extensive grounds. This Hotel loves sports, lots of facilities, especially for bicyclists. The whole building is full of light and space. Would definitely recommend. The staff were great - their English is wonderful!

1 night stay with a baby. There was no kettle but we were able to get it at the reception. The room was quite small and there were hairs on the floor and a few on the bed. The breakfast was great.

Kamer eenvoudig maar goed. Goed bed echter smal. Ontbijt koste €20,00. vind dit schandalig. Ook eten was niet optimaal. Hele kleine porties voor maximale prijzen. Verder net personeel.

Mooi hotel in bosrijke omgeving. Vriendelijk ontvangen bij de receptie, mooie kamer, schoon, goede bedden. We gingen naar concert in Gelredome, hebben in het restaurant een heerlijke kipsate plate gegeten met frites en sla. Daarna met de Uber naar Gelredome. Ook stopt er openbaar vervoer, maar je zit wel 40 minuten in de bus naar Arnhem, dat is wat minder. Ontbijt was ok, had iets meer variatie gemogen in het beleg en wellicht ook wat rauwkost, tomaat, komkommer etc. neerzetten. Verder was het een prima verblijf, komen zeker nog eens terug.

Het was een rustige kamer op de 2e verdieping met een handdoekrekje uit aluminium dus geen schimmel zoals op de houten stokken uit andere kamers. De bedden waren ook beter dan normaal. Het personeel is altijd supervriendelijk. Bedankt om te luisteren naar mijn vorige review.
