Fletcher Hotel Restaurant Erica

This hotel is definitely not worthy of a 4-star rating: 1. We made a reservation for one room, including our dog. We got a written confirmation that our dog was welcome. Upon arrival however, the receptionist, an older man that hardly speaks English, told us in a rude way the dog was not allowed. When we showed him the written confirmation, he simply stated that there was a policy change after our reservation and that we were called about this one day before our arrival. We politely asked to speak to the manager, who could not be found, after which another employee had to fix the situation. The receptionist hardly gave us a look, acted as if we tried to smuggle our dog in, seemed to be bothered by non-dutch speaking people showing up at this desk (how dare those foreigners come to a hotel!) and never apologized for the miscommunication about the dog policy. 2. ⁠We sent an e-mail to bring the rude behavior and the shabby policy change communication to the attention of the management. They’re response was completely off-topic, not addressing messing up with the policy change, or the rude receptionist, but instead focusing on a minor detail in our e-mail. 3. Something we would normally not complain about, but also not four-star worthy; this hotel also serves mediocre breakfast. Dry baked eggs, watery juice, etc…

Worse experience ever. Grumpy service. Disgusting rooms with broken lighting elements. Horrible stained carpets. Broken taps in bathroom. Tasteless breakfast with powder eggs and cheapest marmalade. NEVER again in my life although nice location.

Ticks most expectations for a 3-star place. Spacious rooms, good bathroom with separate tub and shower; however water pressure and temperature can fluctuate largely, hence not a very comfortable shower. Many smaller maintenance issues on the furniture and windows too, however none really disturbing (except the water temp). Good Wifi. Friendly reception staff, nice hotel pool with outside terrace, and good and varied 3-star breakfast buffet with some hot dishes and plenty of fruit. (Dinner is another story, see separate - underwhelming - review). Great place for forest walks and also (until late 2024) visiting the Afrika museum. Good bus connection to Nijmegen city (10 mins walk).

It is not a four star hotel. Few amenities in the rooms, if any. No fridge, no mini-bar, no coffee making facility in the room; no comfortable seating in the room. Some staff were great, others were miserable. The internet was okay, TV okay, food was pretty good. They advertise laundry services but they should advertise, "Laundry available hit and miss". With me it was "miss". I was promised that if I brought my laundry on a Friday it would be ready by Monday. However,I was told, on Friday, that 'she' wasn't driving today!! Okay, you do not have facilities on site. THEREFORE YOU DO NOT HAVE LAUNDRY SERVICE!! The area surrounding the hotel is beautiful. It is, however, out of the way; if you want to go to Nijmegen proper, be ready to pay top dollar for taxis or learn to walk a kilometre and navigate the buses. The buses in Holland are good and plentiful. They should call it a two star hotel because people would have low expectations and would be pleasantly surprised. But by calling it a four-star, they raise expectations too high and, consequently, breed disappoin**ent in their guests. Not at all bad, but not a 4 star.

Stayed here for one night with a large group visiting Nijmegen. The room was large and comfortable, though it could use some modernization. There was a small balcony offering a very nice view of the outside. I left the window open with the curtains closed overnight to get some colder air in, but wasn't disturbed by either insects or traffic noise. It seems the hotel is in a very calm area. Parking outside was free. The bar and restaurant staff were very pleasant and fast. Our only negative experience was when checking in: this took forever, even though we had booked in advance. I wish the reception staff had been better prepared to receive such a large group, having the keys ready at our arrival.

The room temerature was 37.4 degrees, no air-con. Only one powerpoint in the room incl. bathroom. Got ext. lead allowing my wife to dry her hair in bathroom, towels had make-up stains from previous guests. Room had a bed, two chairs and a little table. Nothing even close to what to expect from a 4-star rating. Location is great.

The rooms where very dated. In need of refurbishment.

searching for a hotel online is very hard. You do not see the difference between A or B. This hotel was perfect. I recommend to have a drone style video of the hotel. Much easier to point out what the hotel is all about. See you next time!
