It was a great location in Holland--central to many major cities. Situated in the countryside, amongst many biking and hiking trails. The rooms were great--large enough, good bathrooms, and windows that opened. The free espresso was a great bonus!
Stayed for 1 night to break up journey from Germany back to Rotterdam. Lovely hotel. EV charging (on electroverse app) and pleasant reception staff. Unfortunately did not make use of the pool and i did find the bed too soft but that is my preference and not a negative for the hotel
Beautiful located property in the woods. Nice amenities like pool, sauna and gym. Great dining option at the hotel. Loved to walk in the woods around the hotel. Towns nearby great for dining and shopping. Beautiful location in Holland.
Excellent location, parking and breakfast very good. The restaurant was very nice. Only issue was car charging - advertised as car charging on site - but unable to work it as issues for outsiders to use the charging!
A lovely, peaceful, luxurious hotel with helpful staff and great amenities. We enjoyed the pool and gym very much. The room was quiet, spacious and very clean. The grounds were very pretty with beautiful trees and flowers.
The hotel staff was helpful, restaurant staff was friendly and accommodating.
I would advise Americans, who are used to bigger hotel rooms, to get the bigger room with seating area. If we had not been able to upgrade, our stay would not have been possible since the smaller double rooms are so small that we could only open our suitcases on top of the bed.
Excellent choose , value for money
Rooms are a bit old fashioned but wel maintained
The ground floor is modern and nice
First floor is a bit old
But everything functions perfect and the food is excellent.
Small observation when entering the breakfast area
The stuff needs to be more polite ( maybe polite is not the proper word but wel mannered) when asking what’s your room
And not so abrupt and commanding
I fully understand that they want to prevent no paying customers enjoying a free breakfast
By the way breakfast was really good
Great sized room - 2 adults and 2 children. Hotel has kindly provided cot bed. Excellent dining room, with nice garden views. Helpful staff. Ideal location to explore central Holland. Will definitely book again.
Nice touch, free coffee and tea and cookies near the reception area with comfortable seating and magazines. Excellent breakfast. Peaceful, silent rooms. 5 out of 5 all around.
Hôtel très calme dans un superbe parc. Équipe très sympa et professionnel. Grande chambre, propre, literie excellente. Belle Salle de bain bien équipée . Petite piscine mais sympa pour détente avec sauna. Salle de sport. Petit déjeuner avec buffet sucré salé excellent ,
Nous n’avons pas pu dîner car réservation nécessaire. .
Het hotel/congres centrum is landelijk gesitueerd in een mooie omgeving. Ik heb alleen gebruik gemaakt van de kamer en het onbijt. De kamers zijn op zich compleet maar eenvoudig van uitrusting en comfort. Geen airco, kamertemperatuur is dus niet eenvoudig in te stellen. Raam kan wel open dus dat bracht wel de nodige frisse lucht. Een koffiezet apparaat zou een zeer welkome toevoeging zijn. De badkamer was klein en met lange benen zit je schuin op het toilet. Het ontbijt was compleet en van goede kwaliteit. Alles zag er wel schoon uit en het personeel was vriendelijk.
