Hotel de Prince

My husband and I stayed at the DePrince for a month, and the stay was very good. The hotel is very good, the service is very good, the people who serve are very friendly. We have felt at home. We recommend the hotel. We hope to return soon.The location is excellent; It was a good choice

This is a unique place. You get what amounts to a kitchen-free studio apartment in 200- or 300-year-old building that’ll managed by a hotel-like front desk, rather by some remote AirBnB office. You live roughly the way a Dutch person in a historic build does, which means weird (but modern, clean) bathrooms, lots of steep stairs, etc. If you have trouble with stairs, you need to talk to the hotel people and make sure you’ll have an accessible room. My room would not have been good for someone with a big suitcase or any problems with stairs. The bed was modern. The shower was modern and had good water pressure. The WiFi seemed good and strong. The view outside the windows was of beautiful old buildings. The neighborhood was a lot of fun. The river bank is a few blocks away, and that’s truly gorgeous.

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights on a b&b basis whilst visiting my son & girlfriend who live in Nijmegen We had booked a queen size room with spa bath which was on the 2nd floor on the block 2 streets down from reception. It was a bit of a struggle with a large suitcase to get up the 2 floors as there is no lift but once inside the room was fine tidy and warm with a separate shower cubicle in the bathroom. With us only staying 2 nights we never got a chance to use the spa bath. Breakfast within the reception area of the Hotel was a basic buffet with several dishes of hot food and cold offerings - adequate for our requirements Hotel is situated in a quiet pedestrian precinct area and very central to all amenities in Nijmegen and a 12 minute walk from the Central station.

Rooms were amazing. We booked 2 doubles and both were very different but equally gorgeous. It was a pity we only had 1 night. Beds very comfy. Location excellent. Breakfast was great, very fresh and good variety. Eggs done to order. Only downside was stairs to the mezzanine bedroom area in 1 of the rooms. A little steep and slightly precarious if one had a glass or two of wine in a local hostelry, seeing as the bathroom was downstairs. But it didn't spoil our stay in any way. It was the last night of a 5 night trip to Holland and we did save the best til last.

Hotel location nice and central Be aware no parking - have to park in a pay and display about 5-8 mins walk away - no biggy but did wonder if I’d come back to the car with windows in. We pretty much emptied it every night Check in ok - bit of a queue Bear in mind the hotel is made up of separate buildings dotted around the old buildings adjacent to the reception building - including on the other side of the pedestrian precinct- I say this if you’re in a group or with teenage kids etc Had a deluxe suite - room 42 Deluxe is a bit of a stretch Nicely appointed but on a budget to be honest - lots of ikea furniture, towels etc in evidence Bit noisy due to the pedestrian precinct and bars but not too bad Loads of noise through the old floors from above which was annoying Room really really dark - floor to ceiling windows but no blinds or shutters so you have to close the curtains for any privacy and then can’t see anything No safe No wardrobe? Just like a hanging rail Zero surface area of storage (not even a shelf) in bathroom - drove my wife insane getting made up etc No shelf or rack in shower - balancing shampoo efc on top rail which fastened shower screen to wall was interesting Annoying our son joined us at backend of weekend and had another deluxe suite next door (room 41) which has a large wardrobe and bigger bathroom - for same price (less in fact as it was discounted) His door broke though - which was a pain (did get fixed) Breakfast ok apart from last morning when it was rubbish Hotel busy but only one chef who was working his ass off No food or crockery as a result as he couldn’t keep up - I did complain - to no avail… Mercure last year was better for the money tbh

I stayed here for one night in April 2023 while visiting friends in Nijmegen. I was reluctant to leave my adorable room! I was assigned a renovated room in an old building adjacent to the main building. I just loved it. Extremely clean, very quiet, lovely amenities. And the breakfast was excellent, including a far better croissant than most of the croissants I've had in France. Convenient to many shops, restaurants, and the train station. Pleasant and helpful staff. I would definitely return here!
