Hotel de Sterrenberg - Adults Only, Otterlo

Nice, but not worth the...

Liked: The building is nicely decorated; location is good for the forest.
Disliked: It's quite expensive for what you get. Breakfast was nice but the service was slow. The room isn't 'luxury' despite the luxury price - i.e., no moisturizer in the rooms, cheap toilet paper, only machine coffee at breakfast, etc.

I would stay 2 nights...

Liked: Room was nice, breakfast was excellent and the pool/steam facilities were terrific!
Disliked: Room was good (although like most European beds, they had one of those large bundled sheets so that I was constantly shifting from hot to cold...doesn't make for good sleeping.

An excellent stay, for explore...

Liked: Room was nice, very clean, looked like just build, with a comfortable couch and a very nice big and soft bed. The restaurant has a nice, modern/rustic design, and delivers a generous breakfast platter with a lot of variation, you could even order some extras a-la-carte breakfast, but the platter itself for 2 was more than enough. One of the highlights for our stay, was the access to the spa (modern, clean, quiet, relaxing), which was just the cherry on top after a wonderful day of biking and hiking at the hoge Veluwe. I strongly recommend to make use of it!
Disliked: It was a bit sad that the restaurant had mainly a pre set 4-course dinner with very little a-la-carte options and also that it was fully booked for both evenings we were there, which felt a bit strange, being guests and considering the price for two nights. That's the only minus for us. All the rest of the hotel is absolutely thumbs up!

Top location and high level...

Liked: Top restaurant and great team!

Very good

Superb

Liked: Been a few times, always good to come back
Disliked: Check out at 11:00 felt too early given our breakfast was booked for 10:00, so were rushed

Great location, but in our...

Liked: We loved the location of the hotel. Right next to the Park Hoge Veluwe. We rented e-bikes and it was perfect for exploring the park, well worth the rental money. The overall look and feel of the hotel was very good. Very nice and friendly employees. The breakfast was very nice!
Disliked: Coming into the room we booked, we immediately noticed the window view, which was partially blocked due to construction work (the card on the table explained they were creating balcony's for the rooms). But prior to booking or even checking in was there no mention of this. Honestly we would've otherwise booked somewhere else. The beds or mattresses weren't very comfortable. First night we thought it was us having to get used to a different bed, but after the second night we realised it was because of the mattress. Both mattresses sinks in the middle, probably the result of normal wear-and-tear. But for the money we paid, we expect a comfortable bed. The food at the restaurant was good, but too expensive. For this price you would expect quality like in Amsterdam.
