Popular Enschede 4-star Hotels

The hotel is located near the center and train station of Enschede. We could not reach the hotel by car and eventually decided to park our car in the carpark of the train station which is approximate 200 mtrs. from the hotel. On arrival there was a large que and it took us about 15 minutes before we were checked in. The room clean, modern and basic. The bed was a bit to soft. In the evening we had a good past buffet. During the night we could hear music from the city, although we were on the 8th floor and our room was not located at the city side. There was some noise from the ventilator as well. Breakfast was good. In general our stay was OK, but for the price we had expected much more luxury.

Cozy old inn from 1830? Very comfy beds, pillows. Not said in description but has 2 levels! Sitting/Tv room and full bath on entry level, stairs to upper loft bedroom also with tv. Good thing my older legs still work well, tho trips downstairs to toilet in mid-night not so good for older folks. One strange glitch: booked and prepaid via Priceline (subsidiary of *********** I believe) they say Booking was invented across the street at Twenthe U!! Yet upon checking in, they had no record of Priceline booking!! Only after I gave them phone # to call did they resolve issue! Unreal!! Once in room had to call service to a. Close strange stuck open window b. Locate hidden buttons on reading lights c. Replace broken telephone! Second day had to walk back to reception 2x !! When my keycard didn’t work!! Staff was friendly and helped immediately, but why are these issues happening? Don’t they do this each day and know to check for problems? Ok guess I have stayed in too many hotels… Still, very cozy and sweet hotel and would definitely stay again!

We went to have dinner, not staying at the hotel. The wine was excellent, the tomato soup my daughter had was great. however: the starter: bread with smeerseltjes was plain, with a super small truffel kinda mayo and salt/olive oil (but the olive oil thing was empty, the waiter told me: ”it happens”. To me that sounds utterly weird). My burger was very plain and the meat seemed not fresh (probably defrosted) and the consistancy too tight, almost looking like a processed meat hamburger from the supermarket. I was very confused because some things were excellent and some were pretty bad. One last thing: If I go to a restaurant in The Netherlands, I would expect someone to speak Dutch. The staff seemed to just work there to get paid and seemed uninterested. I left 75% of my burger on the plate and nobody asked me any question. So so weird

I've stayed here many times for work pre pandemic, have stayed at the VdV twice in the past 6 weeks, alas the in room air-conditioning control no longer adjusts the temperature to a comfortable level. The reception staff explained the temperature is now set the same in every room with no adjustment possible. It was 30'c outside and winter duvets on the beds, room temp was 23'c which meant the 9 people I was travelling with (9 rooms) had an awful 3 night stay (way too hot). A note to the hotel, I suggest you allow individual room control again otherwise you'll stat losing custom. We are due for another business trip in 5 weeks (8 rooms), but will be staying elsewhere.

The location is great. In the woods, very calm and idyllic, we really managed to relax well. At the same time, very close to Enschede and Hengelo (in case one wants to go shopping). The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The heating was perfect. The balcony giving access to the yard was just marvelous. The hotel staff was extremely helpful, polite and friendly. The restaurant was exceptional - everything was very delicious and prepared with high quality products (probably the best coffee I've ever had at a hotel). The rib-eye steak we had for dinner was the best ever, especially in a combination with a cold Grolsch Weizen. Keep up the good work!

We have been coming to the Holterhof for years. Now for the first time for a weekend. Because of 1 particular employee, we did not really like it and we would not do this again. I believe the woman is called Xio, a somewhat smaller blond older lady. She walks around as if she is the queen and is not at all hospitable to the guests. I have heard several people about it and have had several experiences with her in recent years that I did not experience as pleasant. This weekend I heard her gossiping about other guests. We were woken up 40 minutes before check-out time by banging on the door and the message that we should not oversleep. We felt very embarrassed by this. Furthermore, the room is small and cozy. The bathroom is a bit dated, but clean. I found breakfast a bit disappointing compared to the tasty and good selection on the menu itself. The food in the wellness itself is very good! The saunas are cozy and the infusions are always well taken care of.
