"Good hotel, close to Nujmegen Train station, so accessible."

"A beautiful hotel. Excellent service, there had been smoke in the room so it smelled really bad. We got a new room without any problem."

"Enjoyed a wonderful stay!"

"Anyone used to hotel chains and expecting that standard shouldn't stay here. While the night, and especially the breakfast, costs the same as in good four-star hotels, the quality unfortunately doesn't exceed two stars. The hotel is unusual, reminding me of my student dorm from the 1990s. If you want to step back into the alternative scene of that era, this is the place for you. The seating is reminiscent of a student cafeteria from that time. Our student union building looked pretty much the same. Personally, I don't feel comfortable there, but the hotel is outrageously overpriced. The stairwell is run-down, steep, and has a filthy carpet. The room was mostly clean, though very cheaply furnished. The bed frame was stained, but the mattress was great; we slept well. If you absolutely need German TV channels on a large screen, this is the wrong place. But Nijmegen has so much going on that a TV is unnecessary anyway. Who needs a hairdryer when you can have a lake of water in front of the toilet after a shower? All in all, more negatives than positives. The breakfast buffet hardly deserves the name. On the plus side, it offered three vegan spreads, muesli, and oat milk, making it suitable for vegans. Most large hotels can't manage that. The fact that you have to cut your own cucumber, meaning it's touched by every guest, is just a minor annoyance. Overall, the pricing is completely opaque, and for over €20, the breakfast feels very, very meager. In conclusion: We still slept well, which, at least for me, was mainly due to the nostalgic feeling of my student days. I just wonder what kind of clientele this hotel is trying to attract. People our age prefer cleaner and more comfortable accommodations. Students simply can't afford these prices."

"This hotel is definitely worth a visit! Very kind personnel. Location is great and the rooms large, clean and equipped with all you need to spend a few days without missing your home. There are different options to have either lunch or dinner (yes, different restaurants that are part of the hotel), all serving very good food. Extremely friendly waiters/waitresses and breakfast was also above the average one you can find in Europe and superb compared to most hotels in the UK (for comparable price, of course). Price is very reasonable too, so I highly recommend this hotel to anyone spending some time at Nijmegen or around (is very close to train station too). Oh, just another point is that the music they play is great too!"

"Satisfactory stay"

"There were no issues with the hotel's location or cleanliness. However, I would like to offer my opinion regarding the response from the front desk staff. I stayed at the hotel using an electric vehicle and attempted to charge it at the charging station in the hotel parking lot. However, the charging machine was outdated and only accepted QR codes or dedicated charging cards for payment. In a situation where I was unable to charge, I asked for help from another guest who was charging nearby. They said that if I paid the approximate charging amount in cash, they would allow me to charge using their charging card. Thanks to them, the charging started. The problem arose when I woke up in the morning and the charge was complete; however, when I tried to disconnect the charging cable, I could not because the card of the person who had used it initially was missing. Therefore, I went to the front desk and asked the staff to contact the cardholder who was staying at the hotel, but they flatly stated that the person was not staying at the hotel. I had mentioned the person's name and that they were staying on the 11th floor when we spoke yesterday, but they abruptly refused to help. I then asked them to make a local call to the charging company, but they refused that as well. Left with no other choice, I contacted the company via international roaming and managed to disconnect the cable with difficulty, finally allowing me to leave the hotel. Please think about it. When a foreigner from the other side of the world is experiencing such difficulties, if you, as a hotel employee, had even a little bit of kindness, couldn't you have listened to them, connected them to the guest, or made the call on their behalf? If that was difficult due to security concerns, couldn't you have used a local phone to connect them or find a solution? I was hurt by the coldness of both front desk staff members, and even though all the other staff tried their best, I have no choice but to rate the friendliness of the staff at the Van der Valk Nijmegen Hotel low. Thank you."

"The hotel is fantastically located in the city center. There's no staff on site. In the evening, the lobby had been transformed into a bicycle shed. Unfortunately, the room was only half vacuumed. Coffee, tea, and water were provided in the room, but the kettle was completely calcified. Water from the shower floods the entire bathroom floor. For breakfast, you have to go to another hotel down the street. With a little more attention, this could perhaps be a four-star hotel, but it absolutely isn't! Contrary to what the sign outside says."

"Great little hotel ideal for short break. Breakfast selection not the greatest but all good quality."
