Golden Tulip Doorwerth - Doorwerth, Netherlands 

It very much feels like a cheap American motel. However ... a good part of the time the internet did not work. Rather rude service.

First of all the good things: This hotel is just a stones throw away from Arnhem and the Veluwe. It’s clearly not the jewel on the crown of the Golden Tulip hotel chain, but it has standard rooms (** equivalent) and a nice pool with water that doesn’t freeze your b**s off as soon as you enter the water. They also have more sports facilities, such as squash, tennis, ping pong, body building/workout, ... The sauna is only available after booking. It seemingly has some kind of renown in the sports world, because during our stay the team of Real Sociedad stayed also in the hotel. The restaurant is rather expensive and has a minimal choice. Then the negative points. First a minor issue: no airco in this hotel. Secondly, and a much worse problem is the quality of the cleaning service. When we arrive, and consequently also when we left, several insect corpses were adorning the walls. No effort whatsoever had been made to clean the walls. Dusting is not on the agenda of the cleaning ladies either. The cleaning ladies also make it a habit of switching on a radio in one of the rooms where they work from 10 in the morning, with such a volume that not only they can hear it through the whole corridor, but that loud that they have to shout to each other in order to communicate. Any remarks made about this noise is seen as an infringement in their natural way of working. As one could expect this Golden Tulip hotel has a so-called environment charter which claims to reduce the amount of laundry. Everybody knows the rule: towels on the ground shall be replaced. Well, this hotel has that rule, but doesn’t adhere to it. Wet towels on the ground are the client’s problem and shall not be picked-up, let alone replaced. One day we found also our pillows and duvets more thrown than posed on our beds. All in all, value for money hotel except for the very lousy room service.
