I had to stay in Zutphen for a business stopover, and this hotel was perfectly located - only a 10 minute pleasant walk from the railway station.
The hotel itself is a beautiful property which is currently being renovated. Major parts of the hotel have already been completed, but some of the rooms not yet (including mine). However, the room was adequate and clean, and there were also lots of power outlets. The bed was very comfortable, everything was in working order. My room was very quiet, and the windows were very well isolated (both for noise and temperature).
The location of the hotel in Zutphen (which itself is a very pretty town to visit) is excellent, with everything within walking distance. There are several cafés, bars, restaurants and shops in the immediate neighbourhood (but be aware that restaurants close very early in Zutphen!).
Give the price of the room, I found the price-quality ratio excellent.
Two complaints:
- [Minor] the (optional) breakfast was rather frugal. For €16.50 one could expect a bit more variety.
- [Major] the (free) Internet was very slow. As I work in the sector of the Internet business, I investigated this and discovered that the cause was a filter against adult content! Every page was obviously screened against certain parameters, and some rejected, resulting in terrible performance (Skype being impossible). I felt like I was in Iran, Saudi-Arabia or China! This is unacceptable for a European hotel!
