    Would be nice if there is small fridge

    Great location near the forest

    We stayed for two nights, we got the old building room with small balcony. No fridge in the room which is actually standard thing to have especialy for 4 stars hotel. Sink was leaking as well. Overall quality should be improved for the old building side.

    vriendelijke staff, mooie kamer met open badkamer. Lekker gegeten a la carte en ook eens het buffet ontbijt dik in orde, alles was aanwezig goed gelegen om met de fiets door de veluwe te rijden, prachtig. Wij hadden onze fietsen mee, en konden perfect in de fietsstalling. 6 km fietsen tot het centrum van Apeldoorn.

    niks, of misschien de prijs extra voor het ontbijt.

    Poor parking arrangement for hotelcustomers

    Réception nice and efficient, even apologetic about the parking mess Food,both roomservice and breakfast

    HotelcustoPmers are lumped in with conference visitors. In my case I had to park in the snow in a field behind the hotel. Pull two pièces of luggaga along a nonexisting trail, finally to be taken care of by a waiter of the diningroom who connected me with the reception. Thank You I have no serious tips for future guest, BUT MANAGEMENT SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MESS. MAYBE BY CREATING AN HOTEL CUSTOMER PARKING ACCESSABLE WITH A CODE TO BE RECEIVED AT BOOKING. Or whatever, you sma

    “My tip: Arrive at 11h30, secure a parking spot, have lunch, rent a bike if you don t have one. Come back at 17h00 and check in. Have a tea or a whisky or whatever is your vice. You may be surprised, but I love it there.”

    Perfect

    The location is very close the de Hoge Veluwe. We also loved that you can walk right out the back door and have wonderful walks through the. woods. Having the stables next door and seeing the beautiful horses adds to the experience. We love seeing the large vegetable garden behind the hotel where the kitchen gets their fresh produce. The restaurant was outstanding. The breakfast was the best we have ever had in a hotel

    None.

    A good choice for a peaceful stay close to nature.

    If you are interested in a peaceful location to be your starting point for a biking/walking tour of the veluwe, then this id a great choice. Excellent facilities, spacious rooms, reasonable prices, and friendly staff.

    No particular negative points.

    Friendly hotel with a good buffet.

    The restaurant had a really good buffet and the price was right for it. The second room we got in was really huge. The roomservice lady payed good attention that she wouldn't hurt one of our exploring cat's when she cleared the 3th bed.

    The first room we got into had dogpee on the wall next to the door and that smelled really bad (no idea how cleaning could have overlooked that). But luckely we got a 3 person room when we complained about it. 10 euro per cat you bring per night is a little high priced in my opinion.

    “My tip: If you want to bring pets, choose the rooms with a balconny or terras, the cheapest once aren't allowed for pet's.”

    Goed hotel in prachtige omgeving

    goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding

    bij reservering in restaurant bleek dat we vlak bij een kassa zaten, hoogst onaangenaam. De medewerkers boeken daar al hun bestellingen en staan dus met elkaar te kwetteren. Men zou er goed aan doen om dus geen tafels zo dichtbij deze plek te situeren. Vervolgens is het dus een heel gedoe om wel een geschikt plekje te krijgen en vind ik niet dat het personeel dat op een vriendelijke manier doet.

    “My tip: Jazeker. Bij reservering in het restaurants altijd goed overleggen waar je wilt zitten! Denk aan de irritante kassa die overal in het restaurant staan. En bij drukte je niet laten afschepen in de lobby een drankje te doen want uiteindelijk is er voldoende plaats om in de brasserie achter de lobby even iets te drinken .”

    Great hotel for family great family size rooms

    It was great to find a hotel with a family room, its not always easy to find this.

    I would like the cost to include breakfast at least for the children.

    Not my favorite Valk hotel.

    Convenient to a major highway.

    Needs some healthy choices on the menu in the restaurant. Rooms need to be redecorated and upgraded. Hotel is not located in Apeldoorn but Ede as indicated by brochure and internet. Service upon registration was non-existent.

    Very pleasant and welcoming

    Very accomodating. Initially the room we were allocated was too small and cold; without hesitation we were moved to a more appealing room of the standard we had come to expect from our previous five stays at the hotel

    Two levels to the hotel from the old style rooms which are still very good, to the new build which have very stylish accomodation . Introduction of the buffet was good but became a bit of a "scrum" to get the food you wanted - would have been better to have more chefs live cooking to cater for peoples desires! Downstairs bar area needed more chairs and smelt of old socks, but after enough alcholhol you got used to it!!!!

    Good hotel, excellent rooms.

    Food excellent, especially evening menu. Room very large and modern, excellent shower. No noise from adjoining rooms, or even the nearby A1 road. Very clean, and welcoming hotel. It has a strange layout with easiest access to some rooms via the restaurant.

    No easy access via public transport.

    Varied standards in the "standard room"

    The hotel is cosy and the bathroom of a standard room is very nice. It is so neatly designed that you feel like spending the night in there.

    The pictures on the hotels.nl website do not match the rooms. There is a HUGE difference between what is presented to one, and what is actually offered. The interior design of the double standard room, varies in quality. Old wooden closets seem out of place with other parts of the room, especially the bathroom. Also, the two single beds in a standard room have weels that cannot be locked, meaning if you are a couple sleeping in the beds, you will roll apart if you move to much. There is no information about the interior arrangements of the rooms you order through hotels.nl.
