Hotel Oranjestaete

Even before arrival, the staff at this lovely hotel were so friendly and helpful. It is perfectly located within such an easy reach of all of the Nijmegen sights, as well as being close to the bus and train station. The beds are so comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need; the apartment was very homely. I was a solo female traveler, but felt very much welcome by the staff, who always said hello, chatted, taught me some Dutch and recommended local places :) The younger gentleman on reception was particularly helpful carrying my bags up and downstairs. It was also not a problem at all when I locked my keycard in my room (oops). The free bikes were so convenient and I never had a problem getting one. I can't recommend this hotel enough; my family are already planning to visit.

Great hotel. Just some minutes walk from the shops, restaurants, the riverside enz. Its not ultra luxery, but the place has a soul. Great, very friendly, proactive staff, very good beds, small bathroom enz. I am happy that I finally found a place to come back in the oldest city of the Netherlands.

I was at this Aparthotel for 6 months. I was greeted with a small bottle of wine! It felt completely like home! My apartment was fully equipped with everything I needed. The kitchen was completely useful with a great coffee/espresso/hot chocolate/latte maker which the hotel provided the Pods for! Great perk! The living room and dining area were very comfortable with a nice TV and decor. The mattress was awesome!! I also had a large balcony/deck area with comfortable seating for five and a large shade umbrella and side tables. The owners and staff, especially Jos, Teddy and Lisan were the absolute best at directing me to restaurants, public transportation, shopping, tourist sites...ANYTHING I needed or wanted. Jos became a friend that I will always keep in contact with. Teddy was always smiling and delightful. Lisan was full of local knowledge regarding hair and nail salons and all things girly! I looked forward to seeing one or all of them everyday!! The location is perfect, in that it is 15 minute walk to the train station, and one short block to the old town which is filled with wonderful restaurants, shops, bars and the Waal River. Also, they offer free bicycle rental with numerous bikes, free umbrella use and free fruit!! I will always stay here when I have the opportunity!!
