Hotel in zona Museum de Stratemakerstoren, Nijmegen

Although recently supposed to has been renovated the hotel doesn't give a fresh impression. The sink of the shower was clogged. On the 2nd day it got cleaned after I asked about it. A colleague claimed about the same issue in her bathroom. The curtains on the windows don't block the sunlight. That caused me waking up much earlier on a sunny day. One has to keep the double windows closed to be isolated well the traffic noise (my room was in the 5th floor). The rooms have air conditioning. The breakfast was very basic.

ZERO focus on service - it is all about squeezing every last penny out of visitors. Housekeeping refuse to change the towels - they ask for EXTRA MONEY to change towels. The rooms are €250 per night, but they only replace your towels for an extra fee. Greed hit a new low. They provide two old, thin, very very small, extremely poor quality towels for your entire stay. You’ll get better respect and service at a basic 2-star hotel. The condition of the room was also very poor. Damp/mould visible in the bathtub and the TV remote had old, stale food all over it. Bed linen torn, cheap and old. (See pictures) 🤢 This place needs to reevaluate how it operates and remember what service means. Everything they do is about squeezing that extra euro out of you.

Aveva un bel soggiorno qui in settembre con mia madre e mia figlia. Siamo stati in famiglia per visitare la tomba di guerra di mio zio. Siamo arrivati molto tardi la sera quando la cena era chiusa, ma l'hotel ci ha assicurato di avere un pasto. Abbiamo mangiato in hotel per 2 delle nostre 3 notti di soggiorno e il cibo era bellissimo e ragionevolmente prezzi. Il personale era amichevole e attento. Avevamo due camere e entrambe erano spaziose e ben decorate con bellissime suite. L'hotel è idealmente situato sulla strada principale di Elst. Ci siamo trasferiti in una bella stanza e saremmo tornati.

Aveva solo un drink e un snack pre-pranzo, ordinava un piccolo snack di charcuterie con noci di formaggio e olive, era una parte generosa che riempiva abbastanza per non avere bisogno di cena quando siamo tornati a casa a Lent. Amico personale e molti di loro, noi ci sedevamo con il nostro cane sulla terrazza, che guardava un lussuoso campo verde, e ci siamo sentiti molto benvenuti.

The transport strike, on the 28th, meant I needed to stay in Holland a day longer than I'd planned to and I couldn't extend my stay at the hotel in Elst (see separate review), I'd been staying in. I had to be out of one hotel by 11am and couldn't check in here until 3pm, but the Haarhuis (Her House, in English) has storage facilities and that gave me the ability to walk around Arnhem centrum (centre) and visit the Airborne At The Bridge exhibition (see separate review), without having to drag my luggage around with me. In an effort to keep my costs down, I'd booked a single room (without breakfast, as there's plenty of shops and fast food places around Arnhem Centraal), but the receptionist did some checking and gave me a free upgrade to a double room, instead. The room itself was very light and spacious, but lacked air conditioning - which was slightly made up for by having opening windows and, being north facing, the room was shaded from the Sun for the most part.. Some have commented on the noise level in the rooms at the front, but it wasn't all that noticeable to me (perhaps, because the strike meant a there were very few buses, no Trolleybuses and few trains were running), despite having the secondary glazing open the entire time I was staying. It came with all the normal amenities, such as a wardrobe, flat screen TV and coffee machine (why no tea, though?). The bed was single beds, pushed together, but had a (thin, but very firm) double mattress on top and I slept extremely well. The bathroom, whilst small, was very well laid out - though, being a slightly bigger framed man, I did find getting in and out of the shower to be a bit of a struggle, as the door only opened half way. The water was hot and very plentiful and the soap/shampoo provided did mean I didn't have to go rooting around in my case to find my own. In conclusion, staying wasn't planned, but it's a lovely hotel, with very friendly and helpful staff, and I'm glad I booked.

L'hotel è perfettamente situato accanto alla stazione centrale e al bordo del centro commerciale. Il lobby offre un lavoro e una tazza di tè o caffè gratuito. Il personale è giovane e informale. Le camere non sono grandi, ma sono un buon letto e bagno. Purtroppo, per ogni camera d'albergo troviamo il peccato della morte: una bottiglia di scivolo degli ex ospiti sotto il letto. Anche se la stanza non era sporca, è ovviamente un punto di attenzione.
