Best Hotels near Carpool, Arnhem

Just a short (thankfully downhill) walk from the railway station (extensive rail and bus services give easy access to almost anywhere in the Netherlands) the hotel is an even shorter walk from the north bank of the Nederrijn with its shady walks and numerous restaurants. Very handy as there is no restaurant at any IHG Express. As I arrived mid-morning the room was not ready but the staff (more about them later) were happy to store my case until I returned that afternoon (and again after checkout before leaving on an afternoon train). The room itself was a good size with a large comfortable bed, a functional desk and chair and a comfortable chair. Air conditioning kept the temperature stable and the lighting was good - not the ”fashionable” near darkness of some. Bathroom was good with a spacious shower. Everything was spotlessly clean. Coffee and tea available. Breakfast is the only meal offered and is a fairly basic standard european offering. Meats, eggs and cheeses were adequate, yoghurt good, fresh fruit salad very good indeed. Coffee was machine provided and good with a variety of offerings. No hot options (standard with the Express brand) and I did not try any of the other cold choices. Although fairly centrally located with easy access to shops and all the usual facilities and infrastructure the room was quiet and peaceful. An Albert Heijn mini-supermarket opposite attracted small groups in the evening but was not a bother - indeed very useful for an occasional small purchase. All standard and as expected for the brand so why mark it excellent? I will come back to the staff who were unfailingly excellent - helpful, cheery and friendly (though never less than professional) and recognised me by the end of day 1. A credit to the hotel and its management. This is now my first choice when next in the vicinity

The layout of the room we stayed in was very unreasonable. It looked quite big. There was no place to let go. After two days of heating, the heating was not warm. They responded to the front desk of four shifts. Everyone’s attitude was not bad. No one has solved the problem, and some people have said to me, ”I don't feel cold, how can you be cold?”... You are Iron Man, I am probably a normal human, because I feel cold at 4 degrees...

What a surprise! Hotel Papendal is basically the accommodation wing of the Dutch Olympic Association’s headquarters and training facility. Situated in quiet woodland a short drive from Arnhem and Oosterbeek, the bedrooms are very basic but comfortable and spotlessly clean. There is a bar onsite that serves simple snacks and meals, or you can venture out to Arnhem. Breakfast is AMAZING - high quality, and lots of choice in very smart self service restaurant. Parking is free and easy. No aircon, however bedroom windows do open.

We are travelling from the UK and needed to be near Wijchen to visit family so stayed at the Mercury in Nijmegen for a couple of nights. It’s right by the Train Station which is exactly what we needed - simple to get to after the journey from Amsterdam and great to get back and forth to Wijchen. We arrived early but were swiftly checked in and given room right away. This has the feel of a business hotel but that means clean and efficient which is all we needed. The room was small but not tiny - had a decent safe and nice shower. We had breakfast twice and thought it was very good especially the croissants and fresh orange juice. One day was very busy but staff all seemed to pull together and service level was good. We didn’t use other facilities. It’s very close to station but no real train noise to disrupt sleep and also 5 min walk to centre of Nijmegen. Good option for Nijmegen and surrounding area.

I don't know when I've been a hooker, Van der Valk is always good, so a 5-star review.

Fantastic hotel. Excellent location for motorway, Arnhem and neighbouring villages. Beautiful woodland setting. Lovely staff Superb room, spacious with super bathroom and access to balcony . Wonderful breakfast which is very good value. Restaurant a little overpriced. Dog friendly.

I spent a Sunday and Monday night there; paid by my host (the university). Great choice on their part. The room was well appointed except for the somewhat small safe which would not accommodate my laptop. That said, the place is quite safe (access to the guest rooms via elevator that requires guest access card), so I just left it in the open. There's a coffee machine in the room and you can get extra capsules from the front-desk if need be. Toilet and shower are separate but, yes, as JapanGirl has mentioned, if you are not alone, you need to feel quite comfortable with your partner ... Wifi is stable and pretty fast, also on the ground floor/brekkie area, tv has some English language channels. Brekkie is fabulous and plenty. The ground floor is separated in about half a dozen areas and you can have brekkie in an ambiance of your choice. I had a colleague over for an hour to discuss one of her projects and ordered a cappuccino for her. When I wanted to pay for it, I was told that was fine. Everyone on the staff is super-nice and helpful. Good vibes. Really quite liked the place.

My wife and I are in Wageningen three times a year, and we always stay at the Hotel de Wereld. We have been doing this for years. I think I can safely say that time in and time out that the customer service we receive from basically everyone at this small hotel is world class. The hotel itself is clean, has a warm, inviting feel, and the rooms are quite comfortable. The location is super convenient--right on the edge of the main part of the town, with all the shops and restaurants no more than a five minute walk away. A short walk up the road gets you to two beautiful arboretums. Plus, you can check out the major historical significance of the hotel while there. If you are going to Wageningen, stay here.
