Lovely hotel with great staff.

This quaint hotel is located right in the central square in the centre of town. There is a restaurant downstairs which has excellent food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything you want is within a few minutes walk.
The room that we had was large and airy and bright. It was no trouble to get extra towels and pillows. All the staff were very friendly and the service in the restaurant was very friendly and efficient.
My only negative is the stairs. Stairs in the Netherland seem to be built for mountain goats. The stairs going up to the first floor are very steep and shallow. The stairs to the second floor are almost as steep, almost ad shallow and they curve. If you cannot climb stairs, I would not recommend this hotel.

Overall no thrills, basic hotel experience

Overall the stay was average, no thrills, your basic experience which can say is fine for price point.

The first room assigned smelled awful, like sewage, however the room was changed quickly for me after I complained. The second room smelt fine.

The single beds fall apart in the night as no double bed option which is disappointing, however the bed itself was at a basic level of comfort.

Great hotel. Great location. There was live music, but we were advised this would stop at 2230, and it stopped at 2230, and was silent. The staff were friendly and attentive. And the food in the restaurant was good.

We couldn’t check with our registered Service Dog, they also would refund our money, we had to go to another hotel, which was much better. Also this hotel has no elevator, I was so upset, I just about canceled my account with Expedia. My husband uses you service a lot.
I would never recommend this place to anyone.

The location of the hotel is great - the newly remodeled rooms are roomy and have a very nice design - breakfast was generous, a great value and yummy. My mistake was to forget if there was an elevator - there is not and the stairs are steep - also make sure you read the directions on how to find the parking lot - is is very conveniently located but the GPS does not find it due to pedestrian zones.

Our room was very clean and spacious. We did upgrade so it was very comfortable. The dinning-room is beautiful with very pleasant staff, great food with fast service.
If I had one complaint I would say I found the sheets a bit rough.

Really great place to stay. Very clean, lovely room, comfy bed, nice staff. Much better than anything you could get in Amsterdam for the same price. Good food and beer at the restaurant downstairs. Only negative point is that if you want to get an early night, it's difficult because the restaurant doesn't close until 12 or 1 in the morning. But that's to be expected, and if you get one of the rooms at the back of the hotel, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.

Overall our stay was good. Our room was apart from the main portion of the hotel and because it was in the annex to access the room you had to walk up 2 flights of very narrow stairs but once you arrived on the top floor it was all yours. The breakfast that was available was more than enough to keep you going for the day. The patio was alive from the time it opened to closing. The staff were fantastic and a huge shoutout to Simon who carried our luggage up to our room on our arrival. Unfortunately no parking on site for those arriving by car, so you had to park at a Q-park lot approximately 5 to 10 minutes away. I would definitely stay there again

This hotel has absolutely no onsite parking or assists guests with transport from hotel to paid parking, you're on your own. Maybe fine if you arrive by train and die to be in a city centre.

Very pleasant

The hotel itself looks magnificent, with a classical interior. It is in a very central location, about 20 minutes walk from Apeldoorn train station. Lots of places around to eat. The Hotel has a restaurant that serves good food, and seems to be popular with the locals. The staff were friendly enough. It has more the feel of a (good) British pub inn, with a vibrant atmosphere.
I stayed one night in the small budget room. It is a single room with a stand-up shower and toilet and bed all together in the same room. Obviously having a toilet at the foot of your bed is not ideal. That room is good for short solo stays, perhaps other rooms are better for longer stays. There are tea and coffee making facilities, which was nice. Overall pleasant for the short time I was there.

Very disappointing, won't return!

Far too expensive for the poor quality provided.
The check in guy was actually very nice and helpful. The bathroom was recently renovated and nice. That's the good part...
The breakfast manager was very very rude, aloof and arrogant. Not helpful and insulting us. Offered us a croissant for free for breakfast, then changed his mind and tried to charge us €4 for it. When we queried it, he told us in a very condecending aloof tone that nothing in life is free!!!!!! Really?! The breakfast offerings in general were average at best and too expensive...
The room and the corridors in general were very worn out and very out of date. Quite unnatractive. Very dissapointing for the price charged. The single bed duvets too small to keep us warm.
Dinner in the restaurant downstairs was very overpriced and all main courses the four of us ate were way too sweet! Terrible!
In general we would not recommend this hotel at all.

Without doubt, excellent hotel with excellent location at the city center.
Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly reception staff. The restaurant staff deserved a special appreciation and thanks for a wonderful job. I really enjoyed the atmosphere which was so special I felt like I was home.
I truly enjoyed walking in the morning through the neighborhood, the cafe and shops. The city center was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a lively environment.
It's a true sample of excellent hospitality!

Hotel et le Café de Paris

This hotel is right in the centre of Apeldoorn, handy for the large number of shops, the market (Saturday), parks and gardens and the railway station (from where a steam-hauled train operates daily on summer).

The hotel is full of character, with a nice atmosphere and courteous and friendly staff. The room was comfortable enough, although the incredibly steep staircase took some getting used to and need caution. It was one of two triple bed family rooms, generous size with huge bathroom and overlooking the main square. We had no trouble with noise. The food was excellent. Breakfast was somewhat casual, alright when we got used to foraging for what was needed. A frying pan was provided so that one could do one's own eggs, although a passing staff was happy to make omelettes for us.

We will definitely stay there again.

Sleep, wash and use toilet in one small room.

Booked single room with ensuite. A toilet in corner of small room is not an ensuite bathroom. Do you defecate and sleep in the same room at home?
Hotel is in centre of pedestrian precinct. Sat Nav steers you onto roads which are closed. Park illegally and walk 15 minutes to hotel. They send you to a car park 7 minutes drive away. Then walk 10 mins to hotel dragging heavy bags. And again in morning to return to car. Took 2 hours to find hotel, park and check in! Absolutely no warning or information on booking site.
Stairs to second flight floor are steepest and most dangerous I have ever seen.

Die Lage des Hotels ist ideal. Der Restaurant / Café Bereich ist sehr schön und das Frühstück lecker und reichhaltig. Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet und die Betten sehr bequem.
Man muss beachten, dass die Treppen nach oben in den Hotelbereich sehr steil ist und vermutlich Menschen, die nicht gut zu Fuß unterwegs sind, Schwierigkeiten damit haben könnten.

Fräscht och centralt i Apeldoorn

Ett trevligt hotell, med ett fräscht, om än litet, rum med nyrenoverat fint badrum. Ligger i anslutning till en resturang och incheckningsdisk inne i restaurangen. Väldigt brant trappa upp till våningen med hotellrum, i övrigt inget att klaga på!

Inchecken vriendelijk en snel. Enkel de toeristenbelasting afrekenen en de parkeer kaart voor Q-Park de Oranjerie (op 3 min lopen).

Theater Orpheus (waar wij voor kwamen) op ongeveer 15 min lopen. Na de voorstelling heerlijk nagezeten met borrel op het terras van Paris.

Kamers (renovated double) klein maar heel goed. Goede bedden en badkamer! De hal is wat gehorig en is het enige minpunt voor mij. (Je hoort kamerdeuren dichtslaan en gasten lopen.)

Niet voor het ontbijt gekozen, maar op moment van schrijven (08:18) met een heerlijk kopje koffie de dag beginnen, vriendelijk verzorgd door het personeel!

Al met al zijn wij (2 kamers) enorm blij met onze keuze voor dit hotel. Centraal gelegen, goede en schone kamers en vriendelijk personeel. Op een zomerse dag is het heerlijk vertoeven op het terras midden in de binnenstad!
