Van der Valk Hotel Gilze - Tilburg

The facilities of the hotel are excellent. The only shame is the woodland cabins appear to be removing the kids playground. The reception staff at check in weren't very helpful, we had a tiring train journey and just needed a run around for the boys but they suggested outside of the hotel, they didn't realise they had a playground. Outside of the hotel, little Switzerland is lovely in the woods but there needed better pedestrian access from the hotel. The pool indoors is great, we had kids so couldn't g outside, but meant the indoors was great for the kids. The robot was a bit of a shame, we wanted to use for ice cream but if the phone is on mute you won't know it's there and we ended up with it an hour late, melted and no refund. Restaurant in the hotel - all the food is lovely, very tasty and something for most people.

Great hotel, loved the goats whilst you eat breakfast.

Yes

Our family used it for a stop over for one night, but with how much there is at the hotel I kinda wish I stayed for two. There is construction going on with the tree houses being built which looking at the direction they face, they will have a fantastic view of the lake. Our room was nice and clean and it was a pleasant stay. I would recommend this hotel.

Clean room, have lots activities you can do, including Casino karaoke etc

We had a two night stay to visit Efteling and the hotel was perfect. Easy 15-20 min drive to the park. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms were huge and really comfortable for our family of four. The indoor poor was great for the children but disappointed they weren’t allowed in the outdoor pool in the sunshine. To be honest the hotel has so much more to offer than what we used it for. The restaurant looks stunning and the leisure amenities looked great. We would definitely stay again if visiting the area and happily recommend.

Excellent stop over point. Very clean, decently spacious family room with proper beds for all. Not cheap but good value.

This hotel is very quiet, with lots to do on the premises. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The rooms are wonderful. They have darkening drapes, fluffy pillows, a small fridge and a safe. There are three indoor pools, an exercise room, sauna, massage room, Karaoke and bowling room. There is a casino as well. This is a great hotel to stay in that is in a nice quiet part of a small town.

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.

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.

clean and safe. great breakfast.

Very short and functional. This chain is always good value with great people. This particular hotel is a little sprawling and doesn’t have the same openness as others but still great.

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 Casino 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.

Excellent property just of the motorway, spacious rooms and facilities, restaurant was good but slow on service …..checkin and out was easy 👍

This is a brilliant hotel, very convenient for transport network, fabulous room and really great restaurant. I sat outside for breakfast and it was a lovely start to my day.

From my last visit, the services degraded seriously. House keeping were closing the heating in the room every day, the food in restaurant was altered and i had stomach problems after almost every meal. Services in the restaurant were for a 2* restaurant. Never return there

Was only here for 1 night but room was very nice,bath and shower very clean and nice restaurant, staff very pleasant

Great facility, very friendly staff. Check it out.

Been here before , great location good food andFriendly service starting with the receptionist

Goos location, friendly staff and an excellent restaurant
