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

Nice place, breakfast was terrible and overpriced

All in all we enjoyed our stay but we found a few things a bit inconvenient. The lights inside the bedroom are all turned on and off with a pad where you hold a button and it turns red when off and green when on. The issue with this being there is no way to turn off the red led light. We had to use a pillow over one light switch pad as it was directly above the bed and shining in our faces but unfortunately there were still two other light switch pads which we couldn't cover so we found the lights to disturb our sleep. I also found it a little strange not to have bedside tables but instead a shelf build into the headboard, not really convenient when you are having a coffee in bed. The fact we had to walk outside to a separate building every time to access the reception/restaurant and gym facilities. There is construction going at the minute so I imagine usually this isn't an issue and there is normally a corridor to the reception.

I had a pleasant business stay, good service and delicious food. In stayed in a superior room and good upgraded to one with a Jacuzzi. Thank you Van der valk Hotel Gilze!

Perfect hotel

Comfortable room, excellent restaurant, convenient access to highway
