Van der Valk Hotel Gilze-Tilburg

Good hotel. The check in is quick. The hotel was so full. I got the room very far from reception. Good part is that they build Good connection, can walk from inside. Room is good, spacious and luxurious.

Great room and location Great room and location. The reception desk person wasn’t particularly welcoming or helpful (it was the first time I stayed there). I had eaten there before but it was night so I wasn’t at all familiar with the complex. Although I didn’t eat there this time, my prior dinner dining experience was excellent. I didn’t book my room with the breakfast option because the breakfast was way too expensive in relation to the amount I wanted to eat.

Disappointing reception We've stayed here before and love this hotel. Unfortunately this time our reception was far from friendly, to the degree that we all noticed and wondered whether it was because we are British.

Nice Hotel for a short trip Good Hotel. The Room was nicer than some 5*s we have been to. Clean (altough the carpet had some old permanent stains) and the furniture wasnt worn out. The bed was very uncomfortable because it was ridicilously soft and even had another big soft topper on it. The bathroom and shower were great and clean, altough what I thought to be the "Bubble bath" was actually the jetted tub, so instead of the whirlpool i was expecting it was a regular (altough large) bathtub with (extremely loud, not usable at night!) jets in the bottom of it. Sadly you couldn't find any good images of this online beforehand. I tried. No Bath Robe, you had to rent it for 7.50. Rooms aren't really fully soundproof, you absolutely hear the hallway and especially your neighbors doors shutting. You can even hear them talk through closed doors when they're on the balcony. Breakfast, while expensive, really was worth it. The ****** next to the Hotel with free food and drinks was great too. But the machines are basic. The Toucan Health club employees seemed a bit disorganized. The Hotels location is in a nicer location than it looked on the maps, you just have to cross a quiet roundabout and you are in Gilze. Its about 15 minutes of walking to a few restaurants, takeaways and a "Jumbo" Supermarket. Theres a small park too. We were there on the weekend, and I guess the nearby Efteling amusement park is to blame for the fact that it was very loud and packed in the lobby/entrance when we arrived.

Very unique is the tiny spot outside where you can swim in warm pool water. as always van der Valk is a strongly recommended experience! we traveled a lot and by so far we have never experienced such different positive special spots in each location. even the basic suites are very special.
