Hotel Berg en Bos

Super Dutch breakfast, very friendly staff. Location in a quiet suburb about 3km from the city centre. Comfortable room at rear of property. The staff recommended an excellent local cafe for supper.

The bathroom was a tight squeeze - but to be fair I am a large man. :)

Hospitality, cleanliness, food

Since we stayed during the hot part of summer, we were lucky to have a fan as our room would get hot during the day. Also, breakfast is included in the price. The staff are friendly. The hotel is also close to Paleis Het Loo and Apenheul! :)

I would say it’s a bit pricey for what you get. While the room promised electrical outlets next to our bed, this wasn’t the case with our room. Another thing is that you get small packets of shampoo/bodywash next to the faucet instead of hand soap, which was mildly disappointing. The worst part is the silence. Hotel rooms have quite thin walls, which means you might have loud neighbours. When this is the case, there is no on-site security/staff to enforce the quiet time (23:00) so you will have to ask that neighbour to respect the silence yourself. It was quite annoying. If you're taking public transport (from Apeldoorn Station), you will most definitely be taking the bus for 5 minutes and then having to walk 10+ minutes. Another annoying was that our room (on the first floor) was next to the outdoor seating area, which meant that people's cigarette/cigar smoke would get into our room. Finally, the hotel fails to mention that luggage storage is not available on Sundays, which was the day we checked out.
