Loved by Hotel Papendal guests
"Situated in quiet woodland a short drive from Arnhem and Oosterbeek, the bedrooms are very basic but comfortable and spotlessly clean."
"It is a sports center hotel, very big and has a lot of facilities."
"This is an absolute hidden gem. In the middle of nature and yet a stone throw away from the centre of Arnhem."

“Hotel Papendal distinguishes itself with a clear emphasis on sports and wellness, fitting given its location within the Dutch Olympic training grounds. While rooms prioritize function, the outstanding breakfast and access to exceptional sports facilities and nature trails make it a worthwhile choice. I find the combination of athletic focus and natural setting a refreshing change from conventional hotels.”

Fantastic stay in a green setting
ample lightspacious showerrelaxing walkcute attitude
The room included large windows allowing ample light. The shower was bigger than average. The hotel has gardens where guests could take a relaxing walk, surrounded by trees. The staff members were friendly. The reception staff working night shifts stood out for their cute attitude.
The location is a bit far from stores if relying on public transport.

The grounds were huge. I realized that this is the home of TeamNL. There is dedicated space for bikes. The hotel's parking area is surrounded by woods. It might seem like driving towards a sports centre.

Acceptable Stay with Noticeable Flaws
comfy bedmissing kettleunadjustable temperature
The beds were quite comfy. I will give them that.
The lack of a simple kettle in the room was a real letdown. I was looking forward to a hot drink first thing in the morning (before facing the world), but that wasn't possible. the room temperature was impossible to adjust, resulting in a very uncomfortable night.

Excellent Sports Hotel!

The hotel has extensive sports facilities. It is very large. Rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable. The restaurant offered quite good food. The bar stayed open until midnight.
I noticed the room lacked tea or coffee making facilities. This felt a bit basic.
