Top Wageningen Hotel Reviews
Amrâth Berghôtel Amersfoort
"The hotel is a real "find". The hotel location is super for discovering Amersfoort, and the staff were excellent. The restaurant is excellent too, with a fantastic breakfast buffet."
Hotel De Bilderberg
"Beautiful location, very calming, very clean after Amsterdam. Close to a few nice restaurants, easy access to many places and provides a serene base. No A/c so need to have fans running and/or door open otherwise a bit stifling. Interesting power issues, needed multiple plug types and had to unscrew light bulb from ceiling lamp as couldn’t turn off… without losing all power in room including the fans.. Staff were super nice and helpful."

DoubleTree by Hilton Royal Parc Soestduinen
"A very nicely located and well maintained hotel. Friendly staff. Dogs are welcome, but normally you get something extra like for example a rug or so. Consider considering the nightly cost for the dog. It would have been nice to see a small gesture."
Sanadome Hotel & Spa Nijmegen
"Room was very comfortable and clean. King sized bed was very comfortable. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant because there was a huge thunderstorm and it was very nice. The gym was well equipped. We didn’t use any of the spa services as we were only there one night."
