Fine place to stay in centre of Nijmegen
Room is no frills but clean and comfortable with a kettle, coffee and sink. Stairs quite steep in the building so bear in mind if you are mobility impaired.

Incorrect room booked
We arrived at the hotel after traveling for 8 hours on NYE to be told that the double room I had booked was in fact a single room. The receptionist never apologised or offered any discount which was very disappointing. He organised for a put-up bed to be made on the floor meaning the room was tiny and very uncomfortable.. especially for 2 people. We wouldn't have minded if the receptionist had apologised. Instead I ended up paying more money for a bed half the size. I contacted hotels.com who called up Hotel de Price to raise the concern and the hotel told them that they don't provide compensation. I will never stay here again due to this. It's an issue which is easily solved! Please keep this in mind when booking here.

A good spot in Nijmegen
Situated on the outskirts of the town centre only a few minutes walk from the train station with easy access to bars, restaurants and shops and just a few yards from a little park. Breakfast looked lovely, plentiful and varied,

Nice touches but Basics Missed
I was here for the Giro d'Italia. The Wifi was great and very reliable, the coffee was sachets that you put in disposable paper cups, which I found better than using tea stained mugs. However, the room wasn't serviced during my stay and the duvet cover was more goff white/grey than white. The breakfast on my second day I asked for Juice and Coffee and if I was still there now, chances are I'd still not get it. On paying my bill I would've informed them of my grievances but I was asked to pay and not asked if I enjoyed my stay at all, a case of pay and go away.

First of all, i applied filter for only hotels with parking. This hotel is on a pedestrian street - nearest parking 5 minute walk away. When i eventually found the correct address- with all luggage, in pouring rain, there was no hotel reception - only notice on door saying to go to a different building down the road. Eventually i was given room key - told to go back down the road. Once in the correct building, i had to literally CLIMB the stairs - nearly impossible with large suitcase. Room was minimal - no heating

Central, well presented, but beware steep stairs!
Good points: super central, clean and well-presented recently redecorated room. Friendly staff and nice breakfast buffet. As other reviews pointed out, it's run from a cafe ("bagels and beans" I think). The rooms are essentially above shops that are a few doors down the same street. Access was with swipe cards- I checked in about 6pm on a Sunday and was shown where it was. I paid €67.50 in total for a single room, which seemed fair in context. Bad points: not ideal if you have issues with stairs or have lots of luggage. There were multiple flights of old steep stairs. I enjoyed the old building! But I had just a rucksack! So at least enquire further if stairs will be an issue for you.

Great location, comfortable room (room 22). Very small shower room, but the shower was warm and powerful. Breakfast is fine, an enjoyable feast of bagels, cheeses, meats, fruit salad, coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. Plenty places nearby to eat in the evening - my recommendation is Cafe Funkenstein, just across the road. Quite simply the best burger I've ever tasted!

Very convenient-right in the middle of everything. Very basic but suited our needs. Staff were very nice. Could have done with a safe for our passports and a second key would have been a bonus.

Fascinating Place to Stay
When the road shrank to bike width and our satnav hit the bollards we knew we were in for an interesting stay. I should have read the "hotel" description more closely. The main address is a single doorway to flats. The rooms - excellently appointed with modern decor - are in 6 different ocations close by and breakfast in a Bagel and Beans cafe. Staff extremely helpful. Breakfast to a high standard. Locality in old town Nijmegen superb. Parking a brisk walk away. A fascinating start to our 1500 mile trip.

Spread Out!
De Prince in Nijmegen is an excellent choice for B&B. The main address given on the website doesn't take into account the several nearby properties included in the B&B constellation. Never mind - it was very nice & clean, with breakfast (fresh orange juice & fruit, bagels, great coffee) at 'Bagels & Beans' next door to the main address. Highly recommended!

Charming B&B with an incredibly warm welcome
This is a really lovely B&B, with such charming little rooms, an extremely warm welcome and a really tasty breakfast (you've got to try hagelslag on toast!). The only slight thing to detract from the experience was that the room lacked air conditioning, so if you're lucky enough to be there in a heatwave, you have to open the windows and wait for the room to cool down before you can go to sleep. But all in all, it was a really wonderful place to stay and one that I highly recommend!

Lovely hotel ruined by no reception staff
Attached to a bagel cafe, De Prince comprises five houses in the immediate vicinity done up as B+Bs. The room, for the price and very central location, is excellent, almost four-star luxury. The only problem is the logistic - you check in via busy staff in the bagel cafe, who barely have time to explain anything to you. Check out was worse, a real nightmare. The girl, seemingly inexperienced, was baking bagels while making coffee while fixing orange juice while putting things on trays while dealing with my check out, for which the credit card machine was not working and we had to move to the front of the cafe where it still did not work. I was in a hurry and so had to turn down breakfast - it would have just taken far too long. For any business traveller staying, it might be the same story. Beware, also, that it is a steep climb if you have a room at the top.

Close to Railway Station
The advertised "picture" of the hotel was not where the room was. The room was located down the road in an alleyway via a door with a keypad entrance. The stairs were very steep especially up to the second floor. The room was very small but adequate; however could not get the room heater to work! The room did not have a table to work on. The building/room were clean, with the impression that the place has only just been renovated; the bathroom was small but had a shower washbasin etc and all looked new. Breakfast was in the restaurant as shown in the advertised picture and was OK. Overall impression; small rooms but adequate for a few nights stay.

Ik kan alleen spreken over het appartement dat wij hebben geboekt. Eigenlijk vergelijkbaar met een studenten kamer. Kamer, keuken en toilet en douche bevinden zijn niet aansluitend. Hiervoor moet je de gang over waar andere bezoekers langs lopen. - Kamer: vochtig en bed heeft een onderstel van een twijfelaar waar 2 matrassen op zijn gelegd. Dus stil liggen en niet draaien. Anders lig je met matras en al op de grond. - Keuken: service was smerig net als de koelkast. Achter de wasbak zat schimmel. - Douche: ok. - Toilet: Lamp was kapot en de muur brokkelde letterlijk af. Deze zat vol met gaten. Het idee is leuk met allerlei appartementen en kamers verspreid in de straat. (kamers bevinden zicht op verschillende locaties). Maar het is niet netjes afgewerkt en ziet er onverzorgd uit. Mocht je nog een keer een nostalgische gedachte hebben over je studenten tijd. Dan heb je nu een adresje op het nog eens over te doen. Personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Dus aan hen ligt het niet.
