Reading the reviews on Tripadvisor convinced me to try this hotel. Arrival was a bit confusing; the hotel has 2 buildings and Entrance Hotel was not where reception was located... We thought that was a bit strange. It was raining quite heavily, so we had to walk from one building to the next with our luggage through the rain. Friendly... More

My work booked me a night in Van der Valk hotel De Cantharel, just a few miles from our Apeldoorn offices. The hotel is a typical Van der Valk-style hotel, with sufficient parking and near a highway. I arrived late in the evening and I was the last reservation as the reception new my name when I walked in, a... More

This place has great potential. Few miles from Kroller-Muller museum. You can rent bicycle and ride to the park, etc. But I came in cold January. Rooms are great in way that they are large. However, the heating system is not appropriate. So, it's not easy to keep the room warm. Also, queen beds are 2 slim single beds. Forget... More

The hotel "De Cantharel" in Apeldoorn is operated by "Van der Valk" chain. It is similar to other of their hotels and primarily caters to business people. The location is convenient if you arrive by car as the hotel is next to the highway outside Apeldoorn. If you rely on public transportation or taxis, this becomes a drawback. The hotel... More

If we visit Apeldoorn, this is one of the places to stay, close to the highway, and not too far from the centre of Apeldoorn. Quiet and clean rooms, very good value for money. There is one thing you need to take into account: Sundays can be very busy, loads of families come to have a meal, so it can... More

This is definitely an option if you're looking for value for money, the rooms are big and pretty nicely decorated. And the restaurant is awesome, friendly service and great meals. Be prepared to eat lots...you always get a side order with french fries and typical Dutch apple mouse. Enjoy!! Last but not least they recently changed their internet/wifi policy which... More

I only spent 1 night here but it would have been ideal to stay even a weekend. The location is easy to get to from the motorway. Quality is always very high both for the restaurant and breakfast. The rooms are excellent, spacious, quiet and clean. My room had the bathtub inside the room near the bed, was quite fun... More

We stayed here in June 2012 as it was central to a few places we were visiting. We had a family room which was quite large with a separate twin room for the kids. It was clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet was large and very good. The reasons for me not giving it 5 stars were 1) At dinner... More

Great large family room with two bedrooms. Excellent restaurants - both A la Carte and buffet. Friendly and helpful staff. One minor flaw - when I attempted to speak Dutch, they thought I was fluent and I had no idea what they were saying back to me as it was so fast!! ;-)
