Short Stay Wageningen

The hotel is very difficult to check in (no guide on keys and locks), a lot of stairs to go up with your suitcase and then the most disappointing point was that there are zero bathroom supplies including even hand-soap. I arrived around 6:30pm and in this small town all the grocery stores nearby were closed by then (or that’s what I could see on Google Maps) and I ended up not able to wash my hands or shower until next day.

The room was generally fine, with reasonable kitchen facilities, a helpful host, and a nice shower. But the bed was too soft, and a staff member smoking in the courtyard below sent cigarette smoke drifting up through my window. Also, the stairs to the first floor were steep and long, not great for a person of my age.

I never met a human from arrival to departure but communication was reasonable via WhatsApp. A more detailed step by step guide for Access and use of equipment ( heater, oven, cooker, microwave, etc) is needed. It took my son's visit for me to figure out how to use the cooker safely 😀

My room was on the top floor and I had a number of heavy suitcases, so carrying them up was quite exhausting after a long flight and ride from Schiphol. In late August, the room was very warm as it had a glass door on one side and three large windows/doors on the other. So sun most of the day. The doors to the deck are standard european windows, meaning you can open or tilt them but due to there floor to ceiling hight, they were heavy and at times did not catch properly on the top corner that would allow you to open the door. Room did have a fan however. Kitchen was well equipped and staff was very quick to reply to emails and also very friendly. I will stay here again next time I am in the area,

Great location. I had a tight schedule and couldn't collect the keys from the office. They make it easy for you by putting them in a locker next to the building. The room was clean with enough kitchen utensils and extra bedsheets and towels.
