Van Der Valk Hotel Enschede

Recommended very clean, quiet area not so far from the highway. I found it very nice Hotel. Free car park 🅿️ Nice view Big room Very good breakfast you have to pay about €15 each person but it is worth it. They have English breakfast and European breakfast. The staff is super friendly.

We stayed two nights at this hotel in a Comfort Plus room. The room was spotlessly clean – real compliments to the housekeeping staff! Everything looked immaculate and was well maintained. The room itself was spacious and smelled fresh upon arrival. Thanks to the Comfort Plus package, we had a balcony, which was a nice bonus. Unfortunately, there were no privacy screens between balconies, so there wasn’t much privacy. However, the view over Enschede was beautiful! The bathroom was also spacious and very clean. It was great to have both a bathtub and a separate shower. The toilet was tidy. One small downside: no toothbrushes or toothpaste were provided, so be sure to bring your own. We personally didn’t find the beds very comfortable. We had two separate mattresses that were quite soft, and the pillows were far too firm for our liking. To avoid neck pain, I’d recommend bringing your own pillow if you're sensitive to that. The lobby, restaurant, and bar were clean and nicely decorated. The restaurant staff were friendly and welcoming. What disappointed us was the front desk staff. They came across as quite grumpy and didn’t make us feel welcome. That’s unfortunate, as they are the hotel’s first point of contact. There’s definitely room for improvement in terms of hospitality – a hospitality training wouldn’t be a bad idea. All in all, we had a good stay. You do get value for money, though the price is a bit on the high side – but what isn’t these days? One final tip for the restaurant: the selection of vegan dishes has been pretty much the same for years. It would be great to see more variety and new vegan options added to the menu – many guests would surely appreciate that.

Good if you like that sort of thing. I'd prefer to be closer to the town centre. There are some comfort improvements they could make for anyone who needs to work from their room. Room was quiet and dark at night. Restaurant is good but not really to my tastes. Massive carpark and good access to road links.
