De Guldenberg 's-Hertogenbosch Helvoirt

Having travelled from the UK by coach leaving in the early hours of the morning, we arrived at this hotel located in the middle of nowhere. We were a coach group travelling around Europe and this was our first night hotel stop. No meals were available for us as the restaurant was full and even when the tables were vacated we were unable to use these tables to order food. It resulted in the group having to order in food to be delivered which did not go down well. Rooms are quite dated yet are clean and comfortable. Very peaceful location and had a good nights sleep, bed was very comfortable. In a rural location surrounded by some pleasant walks complete with ponies at the rear of the property. Book ahead if you require meals as there is nowhere else to dine in the area.

Decent hotel. Food is good. Easy parking. Medium service level. Rooms a bit outdated. No air condition.

A smart looking building down a narrow road through a lovely red brick village. The coach was there so that we could go to the Floriade the next morning .It was a long journey from the UK and we arrived late. The receptionist was not very welcoming but the staff in the dinning room, Danny's , were really kind and helped us to a good meal with 3 choices of mains, starters and deserts. Dinner the following evening was also good, a special pork dish.The Sunday dinner was a bit od a shambles. Maybe the chef had the night off? The two rooms were beautiful with a chrome and glass bathroom, with hair dryer, The single room I was given was very small and only had a wet room with very uneven floor tiles. It was about a sixth of the size of the twin. Having paid a£89.00 single suppliment. I was really upset. The bed was like a box with the lumpy mattress in it.

Too much goes wrong in this huge conference hotel. Entering you are met with a pernicious smell of synthetic cleaning product or ditto air 'refresher', even in the rooms. The beds and rooms are OK though, and breakfast is well provided. Er gaat teveel fout. Onze geboekte kamer was niet schoongemaakt. Dus werden we verwezen naar een eenvoudiger kamer. Ter compensatie werd ons drankjes aangeboden. Alleen die bleken bij afrekening niet afgetrokken. Moesten erom vragen. Erger is die drankjes zelf: twee Prosecco in flesje van 20 cl werden geleverd zonder flesje in 2 glazen. Dus 2 x 10 cl voor 12 euro. Dit zou voor ons nadelig zijn, maar dankzij de uiteindelijk duidelijk gemaakte compensatie kwam dit toch voor eigen rekening van het hotel. Dit zijn min of meer ernstige fouten, maar we hebben toch goed geslapen. Het eten was minder dan de pretenties van Danny beloofden, maar gewoontjes. Dus ***

The location of the hotel is fantastic, in the middle of the woods. The restaurant and public areas in the front of the hotel are very nice. The food is also very good, breakfast and diner. The part of the hotel where the rooms are located is really outdated. The rooms are old, expecially the bathroom. It looks a bit filthy to be honest. And the bed wasnt great. It was very small for two people, and the matras was.. just not very comfortable. Also, the floors are laminaat in stead of carpet, which is cold on your feet in winter. We had to cranck the heat all the way up, since it was very cold in the room. We missed a water kettle to prepare tea in the evening. We booked with voordeeluitjes, and it felt like we were put in one of the smallest cheapest rooms (we still paid a few hundred bucks for our stay). So overall it has good and less good qualities. We were out of our rooms a lot to visit Den Bosch and walk in the woods. If you want to stay in your room for longer periods, id advice another hotel. If you want to explore the area, this is a good place.

Beautiful location, rooms are small and uncomfortable though

Very good hotel
