Kasteel de Vanenburg, BW Premier Collection

We booked the executive room, these were situated in the garden. A beautiful room with kingsize bed and great bathroom with whirlpool. The dinners we had were great as were the wine arrangements. We had a great time! less

Excellent stay, the property and grounda are gorgeous. Stayed in a compact room with little terrace, parking easy and available, bed comfortable, great having a little terrace and room was clean. My only qualm was that some maintenance could be done inside the room; leakage mark from ceiling on the wallpaper and some stains in carpet and curtain that should be dealt with. Highly recommend a stay here. less

We were for business and pleasure in the Zwolle area of the Netherlands. We always try to look for a Best Western hotel first and found Kasteel Vanenburg. We were very pleasantly surprised that it was in the same price category of a normal good quality but not luxurious hotel. It looked gorgeous and the photos did not lie. There is ample parking and check-in was quick and efficient. We arrived around 19:00h so we decided to eat in the hotel. The food was excellent although prices were higher than we would normally pay for a dinner. Having said that, eating on the terrace in the gardens was worth the extra money. Close your eyes and you think you are in a mini Downton Abbey. The gardens are very well kept and great for a walk. It is also very quiet and peaceful. Everything is spotless. The rooms were little buildings in the grounds, by the looks of it 2 rooms per block. We entered through a front door and found an entrance hall with a door to the main area. On the left a small but sufficient bedroom, in front of us a bathroom with sink, shower and toilet and on the right a sitting room with desk, two easy chairs a coffee table and a fridge. The living room gave out on a private little terrace with a table and chairs. The terrace boundary was a hedge. The nice thing was that you could close bedroom and sitting room. My husband who wakes very early could sit and work/read at ease without disturbing me. We had an early breakfast with great choice of hot and cold items and fresh juice and other hot and cold beverages. Staff was very friendly and efficient. If ever we are in the area again we'll stay there again. less

Stayed here for an overnight with the in laws. This is our second time here. Yet again I cant fault the rooms, the staff or the food. The grounds are well kept and rooms were clean and tidy. No problems at all and would call again. less

I read a few reviews that had me skeptical about the place. When we arrived I thought, "The person who wrote that review has issues!" The staff is professional, the rooms are comfortable, the price was very reasonable, the location absolutely stunning (even better than the pictures) and perfect if you're looking for a quiet retreat with good access. The only thing I would change would be the price and location of the breakfast buffet. The price would be okay if the breakfast was upstairs in the beautiful dining rooms with their gorgeous views of the gardens and not in the servants' quarters in the basement with little natural light. less
