Boutique Hotels MANNA & Blue
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.
Book it if you arrive by train, want to walk into Nijmegen and value a strong breakfast, at the lowest price among our three picks. Compare it with our Best Value pick first, though, because on our reference dates that one cost under €4 more a night with a slightly higher score.

Train travellers and short city-break visitors are the best fit. Guests say the hotel is close to the station and within walking distance of the centre, and they rate the breakfast highly.
Skip it, or ask about room sizes first, if you travel with a lot of luggage. Some guests found their room spacious, but others mention cramped rooms with little storage for bags. If you want to reach the Africa Museum or the Maas-Waal Canal on foot, this is also the wrong base: both are far.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Oranjesingel 14, with a location score of 9.2.
Velorama is about 0.8 km away, roughly 10 minutes on foot. The other sights in our data are much further. The Africa Museum is 4.6 km away, about 58 minutes on foot, and the Maas-Waal Canal is 5.5 km, around 69 minutes. Those walking times are straight-line estimates and real routes will be longer, so plan on public transport or a taxi for both.
Parking is not covered in our data. If you are driving, ask the hotel about options and costs.
What guests say
Location is the first thing guests mention: near the train station and an easy walk to the city centre.
Breakfast is a clear strength. Reviewers describe a large buffet with fresh options, including eggs cooked to order and smoothies. A breakfast to go is also listed.
Room size is the weak spot. Experiences range from spacious to cramped, and some guests note limited space for luggage.
Price compared with our other two Nijmegen picks
For 2 adults staying 10 to 12 November 2026, we saw €155.81 a night, about €312 for both nights. That is 22% below the €200.95 median of the hotels compared. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
The gap to our Best Value pick is tiny. The Rebyl, Nijmegen, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott, scored 8.6 at €159.57 a night, just €3.76 more. Hotel Thermen Berendonck, our 5-star Luxury pick, scored 9.0 at €489.10, more than three times the price. Nijmegen is not a cheap city, and even our Budget pick sits well above €150.
Listed facilities are a restaurant, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
