Hotels near Hema, Ede

The room was exceptionally small. There was approximately one foot between the bed and the wall on one side and two feet on the side closest to the bathroom. The bathroom door could not open completely. The bathroom was similarly scaled. If you were sitting on the commode your knees were under the sink. If you were at the sink, you’d better have the shower open because your elbows were in the shower. At the foot of the bed there was about 1 meter of space to the wall. This we completely consumed by the two suitcases and two daypacks. There was significant road noise audible in the room. There is a small elevator usable to access the first and second floors. If your room number is in the 3xx series, you will have to hand carry your bags up the final two flights of stairs. One exceptional amenity, they were one of the few hotels in Europe, that we’ve encountered, providing wash cloths. The restaurant menu was uninspired. We like to patronize the place where we are staying but we'd have done better going into the village. All in all nothing terrible but we left feeling the experience was not balanced by the cost.

Stayed 1 night on a Leger Holidays tour. Before arrival our guide phoned ahead to book our group of 26 people into the restaurant for dinner. We were told this would be fine and there would also be porterage for our luggage. Plus as we had an early start in the morning a take away breakfast would be supplied and we would be given a list to select our choices. However on arrival the receptionist knew nothing of the conversation stating that her colleague had gone home and no one knew anything about the prior arrangement. So no porterage and no take away breakfast list. The issue of porterage was quite a problem as there was a fair number of elderly people in our group and some of the rooms had no lift access. (In fairness the receptionist did carry one elderly gentleman's case to his room) Our group was told to go to the Restaurant at 6-30pm for dinner which we did only to be told we weren't dining in the restaurant but in the bar area. We had no proper menu to look at and on complaining we were given a hastily prepared sheet of paper with limited choice and no prices. Once again we complained about this and another sheet of paper appeared with prices. We noticed that we were being charged the same price for our limited choice menu as the Ala Carte menu so why couldn't we be given the Ala Carte menu in the first place and sit in the proper restaurant? By now it was 8pm and a couple of our group had given up on the idea of eating and had gone to bed. The service we received was also third rate. Soup arriving after the main course and no spoon to eat it with, table water was requested which arrived but nobody thought about giving us glasses to drink it, food arriving luke warm/cold. Another 2 members of our group gave up with dinner and decided to eat bar food at the bar. They ordered their food together and one arrived an hour after the first. When we finally managed to track down a duty manager and brought all the above to her attention she was unsympathetic and quite obnoxious in the manner she responded to an elderly person who raised the difficulties the hotel were obviously having in catering for a group. You would think a hotel would welcome a group of 26 into their restaurant with open arms and provide a better service. The chaotic feel also extended into the rooms. Although they were of a fair size they were a little dated. The bathroom had a very deep bathtub that was quite hazardous to get in and out of even for a tall person like myself and there was no safety grab rails. There was a kettle in the room but no English breakfast tea and paper cups. (The kind of thing you would expect in a budget hotel) In fairness the take away breakfast was good and so large it also sufficed for lunch as well. Sadly any plus points were outweighed by the appalling treatment our group received the previous evening.

+Location is perfectly situated on hiking area / Utrechtse Heuvelrug. +Hotel & room clean. - Breakfast basic / limited choice (eg no fresh fruit salad but just an apple or kiwi and toppings: good but very simple /) expected more choice for 4 * -Bath: Could not take a bath, water did not get hot. CV appeared to have quirks. +Neatly handled by the hotel. +Receptionists very friendly / helpful - food We had booked half board and therefore incl 51 € voucher food at Bosrestaurant Overberg (if you eat or drink for more than you pay extra) - portion of salmon steak and fries a bit frugal + my salmon and sirloin steak very tasty - my husband's food was a turn-off, . - returned carpaccio (because of ant) ​​And returned the richly filled fish stew because there was a complete lack of fish. Eventually we chose another dish (schnitzel) but it was served without any accessories (fries and salad). So my husband had no choice but to settle for my cold leftover fries (I had already finished eating) - the chef: we asked to speak to the chef but he did not show up at our table, he preferred to go outside and curse instead of apologizing. The assistant chef eventually came to tell us that the chef had forgotten the fish and that something had indeed gone wrong. He offered us a dessert on the house but our dinner was such a disappointment that we declined. The next morning the receptionist waived the “entire” bill for the dinner, which amounted to the drinks and starters, since we had already paid €51 in advance in our hotel rate/half board, + but it is the gesture that counts and the compensation was a band-aid and we appreciate it

The hotel is located directly opposite the Arnhem Railway Station, and it is especially convenient to travel to other places. There are many restaurants, bakeries, famous food supermarkets in the Netherlands along the street downstairs, so life is also quite convenient. By the way, if you arrive at Arnhem by train for the first time, remember to go out to the underground floor. The two of us stupidly picked up our luggage and chose to take the elevator up and out of the station. As a result, we looked at the train station and the hotel. We walked around a big circle and actually went down the station. Go to the train station gate, the hotel is 100 meters from the gate If the hotel of the same grade is in Amsterdam, the price will be more than double. We consider working near Arnhem the next day, so we still choose to stay in Arnhem. The money saved is used for transportation and more than enough to eat a big meal. If you go to Amsterdam, take the train to Amsterdam Central Station in 1 hour, and there is a corresponding train to Schiphol Airport. The breakfast at the hotel was very delicious and the mattress was very comfortable... Overall, we were quite satisfied.

We stayed at this nice hotel when walking “long distance routes” at Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Excellent rooms. They advertise a lot about there renovated brasserie but that’s closed on weekdays. I couldn’t find the bar or the regular restaurant on their website, so only after calling them it became clear they actually do have a restaurant. Easy to change i think. Restaurant had a nice buffet. Coffee, tea is free during the day in a cosy lounge. Very nice place to stay.

The coffee machine didn’t work, the freezer also didn’t work. For the rest it’s a good hotel!

Lovely, tranquil hotel in bucolic area. The rooms are in split bungalows off towards the outside of the property. Modern rooms are on the tight side- had a suite with fireplace, and a bathtub in the room. The beds were comfortable but pillows over stuffed and hard so had to use my travel pillow. The bathrooms were single sink with a large shower and modern toilet with built in fan. Everything in the suite is at an odd angle but a good set up. The fireplace is a vapor and light model. Cute. The two tvs (one on each side of foreplace) were odd as the one not watching would turn on at random times. Due to rain, we were unable to use the outside seating area but it was nice, surrounded by low lying hedges. Walk ways boarder the rooms so not absolutely private but the hotel is quiet. There is ample parking and possible to park smaller camper if needed. The estate is lovely. There is a trail around the main house for viewing there lovely plantings and specimen trees. There area is full of biking paths and the nearby town of Putten is adorable and has an excellent bakery (be sure to look for the good one which is on a corner at end of shopping street- the other bakery is commercial stuff).
