Very beautifully decorated rooms warm and comfy beds and a nice view. But there were also hidden fees, old and torn bath towels, dirty pillows and duvets. And could only check in after 16.00 but checkout was before 10.30 which is a very short time in the room. We had all our luggage but no access to our room almost until closing time of the park. And the hotel was not taking liability for any loss or theft or damage of our luggage in the luggage room. So they are creating a problem but not providing a sufficient solution.

Stayed here with my niece whilst visiting the park and she loved it. The rooms have lovely little touches that tie in with the park and a super little board game to play that astonishingly had all the pieces and was spotlessly clean. In fact the whole room and the hotel are very clean. Reception staff are really lovely, helpful and friendly. Staying in the hotel means you get into the park at 9:30, however, not all the rides are open then! Breakfast was good but dinner it was dreadful, service was really, really slow, nearly 2 hours! And the set menu is not good for the cost. We had steak, (which was extra!)and it came sliced and in gravy!! Get your dinner in the park it will be cheaper, quicker and better!

Avoid this place. I traveled around the world and this was not a place to stay. I called property before booking to speak with staff. Traveling with handicap wife. Ended up in a room with no AC and a parking lot ten minutes away through a forest. When I spoke with management, they could care less offering no solution. Stay somewhere else when visiting the park and safe yourself some money as well.

The Efteling Hotel is quite typical for hotels in theme parks. Best place if you are with kids and wish to spend more than one day in the park. Spacious rooms, although not too well organized. Missing space for clothes, only one power outlet in the room (!). Well maintained, cleaning services every day. Basic but rich enough breakfast .

We really enjoy the accommodation but it would be better if the package included half board like eurodisney.

We’ve just returned from Efteling and had the best time possible. We travelled as four adults and met family from York, with three children aged eight, ten and eleven, there. It was wonderful! We stayed four nights in the Efteling hotel (they stayed in one of the Lakeside accommodations) and overall found our experience of the hotel very positive. First of all it’s a beautiful hotel, I have to say however it’s currently covered in scaffolding and that did spoil things for us from an aesthetic point of view. Whist realising of course these things need to be done. We did find the rooms rather dark though. Attractive but dark. Also, the bathroom had no hooks or shelves whatsoever. This did become very inconvenient for us, needing to place things on the floor. I found the bed extremely comfortable. We needed an extra pillow and a brand new one was brought immediately by such a friendly lady. Two cups also - it’s a room for four, with only two cups? - Our room had a little mouse hole in with a dear little mouse poking out. That made me smile. I also loved the bins in the room. Tall boots. Nice little details, here and everywhere. Breakfast was very good. Lots of hot and cold choices and lots of places to sit in a large, attractive room. Again, all the staff were so helpful and wonderfully friendly. There’s a nice little gift shop in the hotel which we visited several times. We didn’t eat in the actual restaurant but the bar restaurant twice. Very, very good. We had the burger option and it was so tender and well presented. Again, such friendly service. The Efteling park was amazing. Wild rides and rides that are beautiful family rides. We did them all. Loved the “House that goes upside down” or appears to! a very strange but clever ride. Do go on the boats. We did them twice. It’s a beautiful long ride, twenty, twenty five minutes maybe and it’s a lovely experience sailing through the trees and seeing all the birds and plants, an oasis of calm within the park. It’s a very large park but if you don’t want to walk all the time there’s a steam train that gets you from one side to the other. Runs every twenty five minutes. A couple of the rides were closed temporarily but then were up and running again. One of these was “Baron” a coaster that leaves you dangling. I’m a grandmother of a certain age and go on them all. Ha Ha. Again, being a large park, we found the food options excellent and easy to find. Healthy food options in large, attractive food halls, with plenty of places to pay. The attention to detail in the park was outstanding. You need to stop and look at all the cute little statues and attractive touches everywhere. I just adored the talking rubbish bins. I think everyone did. I even videoed one of them! We had such a wonderful holiday. Certainly didn’t want to leave. I’ve never met such genuinely warm and friendly folk as we did on this, our first trip to Holland. From all those we met in The Efteling Hotel, to everyone in the park itself. Such a wonderful experience. …

I was amazed by the scale of the park. It's much bigger that I expected, but still super accessible. What I enjoyed the most was that people do not smoke in the pubic areas. It makes the park so much more pleasant to visit with kids. Top points for that to Efteling! Secondly, the app is really-really helpful and also very well done: excellent user experience. You see the waiting times of attractions, it's easy to locate where you are and what's the straightest way to where you want to be. There are eating areas and toilets after every now and then. Really easy to get around with kids. Plus the park is fun for both, big and small - does not matter if you're 3 or 63, you will definitely find your fun. We are extremely happy with our visit and will definitely visit again.

Very nice hotel with a boutique feel to it and very well catered for families. 2 mins walk to Efteling theme park with a special entrance for hotel guests. Staff are very friendly, rooms are nice and well thought out with games for kids. Food was excellent in both bar and restaurant and there is a play area for younger kids situated beside the bar. Thank you Efteling hotel for a great weekend.

We had a wonderful experience our first time visiting the Netherlands and wanted to try something different. Efteling was everything we imagined and more. Although some rides without translation could be confusing, the experience as a whole was a great adventure :) Our server/bartender Harold was fantastic! Joking with us and making us feel very welcomed in such a friendly atmosphere, not to mention the great drinks! And lastly, our greeter/travel adviser and overall great hostess Berber. She was brilliant! She not only helped us plan out our morning route to the airport the day of our departure but printed out the instructions, booked reservations for our meals during our stay, and helped us reserve a walkaway breakfast for the early morning of our departure. She was so kind and helpful despite our exhaustion for a long trip. She definitely helped make it a great ending :)…

An obvious choice when visiting the Efteling Park. We were warmly welcomed by the smiling staff. Easy parking. Literally 2 mins walk to the park. It's an old hotel and it's reflected in some of the dated designs, although they do a great job modernising it as much as possible (in fact, renovations are going on during our stay). We booked a suite and the room is nicely themed and very spacious. We had 2 queen size beds and they felt small for 2 adults, so we ended up sleeping with one kid each. Room key is digitized and works seamlessly with the app (great app!). The kids loved playing with the props in the themed room. Breakfast is sufficient though not exceptional. Lots of families so there's a bit of wait. Nice touch to have some of the park characters walk around greeting the guests. Looks like they're in the middle of building a new hotel within the park. Overall we had a good time but we'd probably wait for the new hotel to be completed before returning.…
