Drijfpaleis

Arnhem

There's not enough eyes in your head to fully appreciate the design of this place. From the moment you walk through the front gate, it is a full on assault on your vision with bright colors, textures, knick-knacks, mosaics, tromp-l'oeils and a mish-mash of furniture and accessories. At first glance, the whole thing looks cobbled together by a very dedicated DIY-er. Possibly it is, in a good way.

That DIY-er must be the owner Ruud. A cheerful local, happy to share his many stories and tips on the city. Do check out his home-made walking tours through less touristic parts of Arnhem, available in the room. Even if you don't plan on walking them, they make for a remarkable read of loving-but-harsh criticism on the city, mixed with personal experiences. 

Besides all its quirkiness, Drijfpaleis offers a very comfortable stay. Very big room with stunning views over the river, a very nice bed and spacious bathroom with nice warm shower. The breakfast, brought to your room at 9.00 sharp, is tasty and enough to help you through most of the day. The location, with the city center only a nice stroll away, is top notch. With big balconies and an equally curiously designed garden available, I can only imagine what a great hang this 'll be during warm summer days.

Nice details in the rooms include loads of books, a guitar to play, a record player with some vintage vinyls and binoculars to inspect the riverbed on the other side. The minibar is well stocked and affordable, coffee and tea are included and cat Hendrik is around for cuddles if needed. 

It's not the cheapest stay, but I doubt you'll find a cooler one.

Comfy and different. Drijfpaleis offers unrivaled character in the heart of Arnhem

We booked for 3 days in March and received confirmation by mail arriving after 5 hours of train ride and standing in front of the closed door calling and learning:fully booked We are full No apology No support Everything booked in Arnheim

Very annoying despite reconfirmed: we are fully booked!

After the owner contacted me on a previous question I had for a stay over,.... he very suddently decided everything was different and where we could stay there for two nights at first he decided with NO explanation to cancel our stay! Very strainged, tried to contact him on different ways..... but everytime he just hang up on me,... very rude very unprofessional, still have no idea why he canceled...

poor communication!

Very nice romantic hotel of the other kind. We felt very comfortable in the room everything you need you feel like in a fairy tale. The landlord is also very nice and helpful. Tea and coffee free. Breakfast very tasty and enjoyed it very well.

accommodation

I'm sure it's a fabulous place (the photos look great, likewise the reviews, which is why I still gave 4*), but before you book you should be aware that you have to arrive before 8:30pm.   We're disappointed but forced to stay elsewhere.

I had to cancel

Drijfpaleis is an ,other story , a story of a Man with passion and Love , love for what he is doing ; his Art and his home in which we were lucky to spend three nights . this man is called Ruud not rude because he is the nicest host i ever met , saying thank you to him one million times would not be enough , and going back there will always be a future dream .

Drijfpaleis = Ruud

Went here a couple of times, and was overwhelmed everytime by the fantastic decorations, beautiful views and friendly host. Very spacious rooms with everything you could possibly need and more. The lovely breakfast is served in your room, so you can enjoy it in bed or on the balcony overlooking the river Rhein. Once you've been, you never want anything else.

amazing, creative and welcom

Me and my wife are living in Amsterdam. We decided to go for Iraon Maiden concert, and we were looking for two night accommodation. We been looking for a wile, and decided to go for thos little b&b. That was a bull's eye. The owner was super flexible with our arrival, and he was extra polite. In the morning he did not to long, to bring oir breakfast in the room. Plesure was staying there. All the informations we neede he provided to us. About the room. I ahd a feeling that I have been back in time. In a big qonquering era,discovering new lands. It is undescribable for me. Thank you one more time for your kindness, and help. We will be back soon enough

Experience to remember

The boat is very artistic and has been developed and decorated with a lot of love. Very beautiful and really special. This is something you just have to look at. The reception and care, including breakfast service, were extremely friendly. You can feel comfortable all around. Only: it is a boat. In the Venetian room the floor is in the water. We were there at the beginning of April, so it was quite fresh in the room. But in the summer it is certainly an advantage. Overall, the boat alone is worth a trip - arrive and relax! Since the parking lot is always very full, just leave the car and walk along the water for 10 minutes. The location is great!

Special, cozy and friendly

Now it's my fourth time visiting Holland and staying in this corner of paradise. The B&B is a work of art dedicated to Italy. A cottage on the river Rhine managed magnificently by the owner Ruud always kind, generous and friendly. Mythical breakfasts prepared by him in the morning, beautiful views from the balconies of the rooms where you can sip a beer while making yourself cuddle with the reindeer. The location is simply wonderful. Arnhem is a Dutch city full of life and shops and well connected with the trains to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam. Straight recommended.
