Best Hotels near Pad Deur ＇t Vaen, Doetinchem

We attended a party in the hotel. We had diner before and breakfast after. Wonderful stay. Our room was huge. The dinner consisted of small bites which tasted excellent. Good diversity on the menu. During breakfast we could place our specific order for eggs and pancakes. The forest is one minute away.

Nice Auping bed with Auping mattress. Sweet kiss much thick! It would be nice if you had a choice from different thicknesses. Also a fine room with everything you need. There's no TV and refrigerator. Maybe a glass door for the shower? Further, super beautiful garden where you can drink nicely! Eating card is something modest. I'd like to be a little more extensive. - What a good shop! Restaurant also dressed great. Hip style! Staff are just noticed at all! Adviser if you stay in Doetinchem!

BREAKFAST I stayed here while cycling on the Ronde Van Nederland. I stayed in a mixture of hotels and this was by far the best on my 8 day cycle challenge. However, I wish to specifically highlight the Breakfast and the Breakfast chef. I requested an early breakfast and the buffet range and quality was outstanding. Breakfast chef was so very friendly and helpful. My only other observation is that I found it very strange that the door to the guest rooms was locked - yes locked until 7am

We stayed here for four nights combining bicycle touring and seeing friends. The hotel has a secure place to leave bicycles and plenty to borrow too. It's a short cycle from Arnhem (hilly for the Netherlands and a short section is in the dark forest with no street lighting). It's a short cycle to Hoge Veluwe and Veluwezoom national parks which are excellent for cycling and hiking. There are hikes in the forest the hotel lies in, and it is a beautiful setting. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and really helpful with practical arrangements. Our room (8) was clean and comfortable and very spacious with a lovely view of the garden. The bathroom was in the room (toilet separate). Dinner is amazing here - we had the La Belle Source menu twice and the brassiere once. They catered well for vegetarians and the matching wines were well chosen by a friendly and experienced sommelier. The bar is well stocked and reasonably priced. Breakfast was ok - it's all buffet and it huge choice is a little underwhelming after such good dinners and got very busy at times. This was the only disappointment we had with this lovely hotel. Overall a great stay, good value for money and we would highly recommend it to others.

Just a short (thankfully downhill) walk from the railway station (extensive rail and bus services give easy access to almost anywhere in the Netherlands) the hotel is an even shorter walk from the north bank of the Nederrijn with its shady walks and numerous restaurants. Very handy as there is no restaurant at any IHG Express. As I arrived mid-morning the room was not ready but the staff (more about them later) were happy to store my case until I returned that afternoon (and again after checkout before leaving on an afternoon train). The room itself was a good size with a large comfortable bed, a functional desk and chair and a comfortable chair. Air conditioning kept the temperature stable and the lighting was good - not the ”fashionable” near darkness of some. Bathroom was good with a spacious shower. Everything was spotlessly clean. Coffee and tea available. Breakfast is the only meal offered and is a fairly basic standard european offering. Meats, eggs and cheeses were adequate, yoghurt good, fresh fruit salad very good indeed. Coffee was machine provided and good with a variety of offerings. No hot options (standard with the Express brand) and I did not try any of the other cold choices. Although fairly centrally located with easy access to shops and all the usual facilities and infrastructure the room was quiet and peaceful. An Albert Heijn mini-supermarket opposite attracted small groups in the evening but was not a bother - indeed very useful for an occasional small purchase. All standard and as expected for the brand so why mark it excellent? I will come back to the staff who were unfailingly excellent - helpful, cheery and friendly (though never less than professional) and recognised me by the end of day 1. A credit to the hotel and its management. This is now my first choice when next in the vicinity

The pictures look great and the location is very rural, if you are looking for a stay near the Veluwe. Checkin was 3pm and we showed up that time with nobody at the reception area desk. We waited for a person to check us in and finally a lady showed up and told us that there were others in front of us and pointed to people seated. After awhile another person showed up and they checked us in. It is a mystery to me why they could not check us in and provided the key when the room was ready. Seems very petty and not customer friendly. We paid for an upgraded room and it had a small bedroom and large sitting area. No refrigerator but there was a teakettle etc. The housekeeping crew had not done a very good job as it was still a bit dirty, no soap anywhere, just two little thin towels and no shampoo. Usually most of these places have large bottles now but they did not. The room was cold and we tried to turn the heat on but it did not seem to work. There is no airconditioner. We notified the front desk and they said they would take care of it. When we returned the room was even colder, heat did not work, no soap but we did have some more towels. I tried to call, but the phone did not work. Went downstairs and waited for the front desk person. It seems there are shorthanded and when the person has to do an errand, there is no one around. The same person who I talked to before, showed up and brought some soap and shampoo and said he had turned on the heat. Unfortunately, it did not work. No one around to fix it. He gave us some blankets. The night was cold as the heat never did work. I asked the front desk about it the next day and they indicated the main office was the one to complaint to. I emailed them and have not heard back. The bar is nice with good but a bit expensive drinks. The restaurant had some interesting specials for dinner (which we did not have) but the breakfast buffet was not elaborate but nice. Parking is ample in various lots around the estate. There is another really nice restaurant nearby called the Peerdestal. Great for a nice fancy dinner out, but reservations are definitely recommended.
