By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Bilderberg Hotel De Keizerskroon is worth booking if you want to stay a few minutes' walk from Het Loo Palace, with a big breakfast buffet and a pool, for the lowest price among our Apeldoorn picks. Skip it if bathroom upkeep is a sore point for you, since that is where complaints cluster.

This is our Budget pick in Apeldoorn. It scores 8.6 out of 10 from 2,550 reviews, the largest number of reviews of the three hotels we compared, though also the lowest score of the three.
Budget here is relative. At about €144 a night it is not cheap, but it is the least expensive of our picks and comes with four stars and a listed pool, gym and restaurant.
It suits palace visitors, families (family rooms are listed) and anyone with dietary needs, given the breakfast range. Skip it if you are sensitive to bathroom smells or want large towels, as some guests mention both.
Location and getting around
The address is Koningstraat 7. Guests give the location 9.1 and describe a quiet setting next to Het Loo Palace, within walking distance of the town centre.
Distances are straight-line estimates. Het Loo Palace is about 0.2 km away, around 3 minutes on foot. Apenheul Primate Park is about 2.8 km, around 35 minutes, and Sportpark Berg & Bos about 3.1 km, around 39 minutes. Both of those are far for a casual walk, so plan on public transport or a taxi.
Parking is not listed among the facilities in our data. If you drive, ask the hotel about options and cost.
What guests say
Breakfast is the standout. Guests describe an extensive buffet with a wide variety of hot and cold options, and the listed styles include continental, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.
Location is the other strong point: quiet, beside the palace and a walk from the centre.
Bathrooms divide opinion. They are described as spacious with separate showers, but some guests report unpleasant smells and small towels.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
We saw €144.38 per night. That is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €160.88, so this hotel was about 10% below it. Our Best Value pick, Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn - de Cantharel, was €160.88 with a score of 8.7. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Gastronomique de Echoput, was €188.47 with a score of 8.9 and five stars.
The score gap between the three is small, from 8.6 to 8.9. Choosing this one saves you about €16 a night over the Best Value pick and about €44 over the Luxury pick, and puts you right beside the palace. Listed facilities include a gym, pool, restaurant, family rooms, terrace, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
Why it made our top 3
