Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable due to its spacious and modern rooms that were very clean. The friendly staff made me feel welcome, and the location, nestled amidst the stunning Veluwe forests, was a highlight. However, I found the dining experience somewhat chaotic during breakfast, and there were limited facilities for children, which might discourage families. Overall, it's a good value for money, but it could be better.
The hotel is beautifully situated in the woods of one of Holland's prettiest nature reserves, which provides a lovely and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and have a fantastic terrace, although I found the dining options a bit overpriced and lacking for vegans. The service was friendly, but not as warm as I hoped. Overall, it's a great spot if you enjoy nature and peace, but there are some areas for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is absolutely wonderful, surrounded by beautiful nature and close to interesting attractions. The rooms were modern but a bit dark, and I found it a little cold during my stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, but some areas of service could improve, especially regarding the dining experience, which was disappointing due to limited options and slow service.
I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel, located in a beautiful nature reserve with easy access to nearby attractions. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, and the friendly staff added to the positive experience. However, the noise from the road was a bit disruptive at times, and the dining experience could use improvement in terms of variety. The facilities, like the gym and pool, were convenient and enjoyable.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is nestled amidst the beautiful Veluwe forests. The rooms were modern and comfortable, making it a nice retreat, although there were some minor drawbacks. The staff was friendly and helpful, though some seemed less experienced. I especially enjoyed the great location for hiking and cycling, right at my doorstep. While the breakfast spread was commendable, I encountered a few issues with food availability during peak times. All in all, it was a nice experience, but the dining could use some improvements.
