Nice hotel if you want to visit Arnhem but stay in a quiet area
Pros:

I Like the sports atmosphere on and around the grounds of the hotel. Somehow it motivates me to do sports myself. It is very quiet, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfast was ok. The staff was really friendly and the parking situation is optimal.

Cons:

Nothing to criticize
