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.

Great Hotel in lovely grounds

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!

I would give this hotel rather 3 stars. The rooms are basic but nice & functional. The plumbing was not good: when your neighbour takes a shower there's a lot of noise in the room which woke us up in the morning. Never heard that before... Many of the doors / walls have scratches and could use some paint. There's a very nice parking & good wifi. Breakfast is very nice but it was very crowded so people came too close to each other (Corona measures not followed)
