Fabulous and Fantastic Find!!
This place was an incredible and completely unexpected find!
The out of the way location and beautiful surroundings were indeed a breath of fresh air!
Staff completely welcoming, as indeed were all of the other guests.
In all of the years of my extensive travelling, I've never experienced anything like it!!

I’m disabled and they upgraded me to a ground floor room, very clean and comfortable with a walk in shower, I can’t get in or out of a bath!
But the beds are just too low, I had to drag a chair over to the bed to slide on and off the bed but that’s just me…
Checked in around 6pm and slept right through, finally got up 24 hours later and am sitting in the garden in amongst the rural woodlands for coffee and dinner!
Checking out Monday morning for my drive up to
‘s-Hertongenbosch…

The rooms and personal was good, but they charge you over 12 Euros for parking, don't tell them when they ask, they don't seem to check this because there is so many parking spaces.
Music from German Schlag till almost 11 pm but could handle it.
But worst was one toilet for women on the first floor for many rooms and since my arrival for one night very dirty the whole time.
Someone should check on this several times per day.

Book only as a last resort
They don’t show many pictures of the rooms for a good reason. They’re not nice at all.
They only good thing about this hotel is the surroundings and the price.

The "low cost" rooms are VERY basic, the TV system didn't work in my room, only one station was available. The bathrooms are shared, reasonably clean and up to standard. Nice surroundings and quit area.

This is a hotel to drink, dance and party with loud music. Not to rest and sleep, they say budget hotel, I would say it is Dorm or Hostel of that nature. It was a bad experience, may be there was better feature in other standard or luxury rooms.

Hotel seems a bit neglected. Outside area has bits of furniture that are broken which is a shame as the location is quite lovely next to a canal and forest.
The furniture in the rooms show quite a lot of signs of wear and age with chipped corners or discolouration. Bedding seemed clean but found hairs on the duvet from previous occupants.

This hotel was extremely disappointing for the price. The room was not well-maintained, the facilities were outdated, and the overall service was subpar. For the amount we paid, we expected much better conditions. Definitely not worth the money—would not stay here again.

You get asked to pay additional to what you pay here. Am ok to pay for parking, this is fine. Its mentioned and I don’t mind. On top they charge you service fees, other taxes. Although you end up paying here. Definitely not worth the price.

Questionable hotel although the night was okay
We booked the hotel via the hotels app, checking certain requirements before booking. Additional costs, facilities ect...
Arrived at the hotel and was greeted with additional cost not listed on the app. Covid related ventilation costs we were told. They also tried to put us in a shared bathroom room even though what we booked said private bathroom.
Additional parking costs which we were not aware of. Loud guests and thin walls.
Although we had a okay nights sleep and the facilities were suitable when we were given the correct room. The whole situation was rather strange and I suspect they fool travelers with these ridiculous additional charges.

L’hôtel est dans un parc calme et arboré. La chambre est spacieuse, propre, bien agencé, tout comme la salle de bain.

L’hôtel est un peu isolé, avec un parking (payant 8€ environ/nuit), ils acceptent les animaux. La chambre est hyper confortable avec chauffage au sol (attention car ils ont des chambres avec la salle de bains communes) mais celle avec la salle de bain dans la chambre était top. Douche superbe et service de nettoyage chaque jour. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour, les deux personnes qu’on a vu à l’accueil étaient adorables et maîtrise +/- le français (surtout le jeune homme) merci beaucoup à eux
