Hotel Pauw

My week spent at the Hotel Pauw was good. It was located in the city of Nijmegen and was within walking distance of groceries and shops. It is very accessible to Primark, TKmax and other branded shops. The room was spotless. The only downside of this hotel is the poor and unstable Wi-Fi connection, and there was no room dining service. Although you can order food delivery, they did not allow it to be delivered to your room.

Too bad

Hotel Pauw is situated right in the city centre of Nijmegen. - The reception (not a real front desk but in the corner of the bar) was very friendly. There is (luckily) a lift to the upper floors, because the stairs are really very steep. -The room : very tiny room with no air condition (except a fan which blows the hot air around the room). With a temperature outside of 30 degrees the room was like an oven. You cannot open the window, except for a small piece on top of the windows. However even if you could open the windows, you do not sleep before 1 pm, due to all the terraces on the square. In the room there is no wardrobe, only a coat rack. So you have to live "out of your luggage". Furthermore there is hardly any place to put your luggage. The TV set is of a very bad quality and the remote control did not work properly. -The bathroom : very tiny. The tap on the sink was completely loose, so you hardly dared to turn it on. The pinnacle of it all was that they called this a deluxe room.....I would call this a hostel..... - The breakfast was very basic. - The price : we paid for 2 pax in the "luxury room" 167 € for 1 night + city taxes (breakfast included) which is totally overpriced. - The days after we stayed in Bilderberg Hotel Apeldoorn. There we paid for a 4 star hotel with inside swimming pool, fitness, fantastic breakfast buffet included 180 € for 2 pax in a real luxury room..... per night. Very nicely and quietly situated in the middel of the green of "Paleis het Loo". - Conclusion : Staff in Hotel Pauw was friendly. Situation in the centre of the town which is an advantage as well as a disadvantage when it is warm weather.... re, the noise of the terraces just below your window. Room far from luxury and totally overpriced for what you get. So for us : never again.....

Arrived at 22.30 and I was given a room that was not clean and ready to use! I got another one after a short while. When I later tried to have a shower the light in the bathroom stop working and the bottle with soap in the shower was empty! Even after all this did not even got a small piece of chocolate as sort of apology/compensation. In none of the rooms I got was there soap next to the basin, just in the shower, but it is not very convenient to wash the hand! Location is nice but unfortunately VERY noisy!
