Hotel Meneer Van Eijck - Oisterwijk/Tilburg

This 3* hotel is situated in the forest at a 15 min. drive from the city centre of Tilburg. We stayed here to enjoy a famous party 'Roze maandag' (pink monday) called which is a big party spread over the city centre of Tilburg.

This hotel has a very typical style which is hard to define. I would say it seems to be an american range in the middle of the woods. The building is set up with a lot of wood and also the garden is totally in line with the building.

View from our room

Room:

We called the day before arrival to make sure we got a nice room and as promissed they gave us a corner room (nr 10). This was great to have all the windows, as the room was rather small.

But the room is very nicely decorated and clean. It is totally in line with the whole atmosphere of the hotel in general, where you have the impression to be at a range in the middle of the woods.

We had a double bed (160 cm) with a very soft topper, which made us enjoy the (rather short) night.

The TV is just above the bed, which is a good location. But the satelite systeem was not working properly.

A big plus where definitely the black curtains who ashored you your nightrest in the dark.

Bathroom:

The bathroom is small with a toilet, sink and a big shower (the glass construction is almost half of the bathroom), which is a plus and the most important.

The shower has a very good pressure!

I have to say that the automatic tab is not  a plus as the water stops rubbing all the time and it does not always work properly. There where 2 big & 2 small towels and 2 small bottles of shampoo & showergel each.

There is no hair dryer provided in the room, but you can barrow the one in the closet of the hallway (only 1, so you must be lucky). Unfortunately there is only a raisorplug provided in the bathroom (low voltage). So you can only use your hairdryer in the room (where no mirrors are provided).

Breakfast:

The breakfast is served from 7 to 10 am (which is early after a night out ;-))

HINT: there was the possibility to have a late breakfast with a selection of the buffet for 10eur pp extra.

The breakfast buffet seems to be small in your first impression, but there is a lot of food in small portions:

- small croissants

- small breads with meat

- fresh white and brown bread

- Nutella

- strawberry jam

- cheese

- ham

- chocolate sprinklers

- fruit

- yoghurt

- booked eggs

- pancakes

- water & orange juice

-...

Which is a large selection for this 10-room hotel.

Coffee and tea are served at your table and they ask you to serve fresh scrambled eggs.

We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel which gives you the calmed you need when you have a day off, but as the hotel is close to the city centre of Tilburg you're having plenty of options (walk in the surrounding woods, shopping, party,...).

Positive points:

- this hotel offers a good price/quality (we paid 90eur per room incl breakfast & tax)

- nice, fresh and broad breakfast

- friendly staff 

- nice and unique atmosphere due to the location and how the hotel is set-up.

Negative points:

- rather a small room (but ok for this price /definitely when you have a corner room where you do not have that narrow feeling due to the different Windows)

- shortness of plugs next to the bed for mobile and in the bathroom.

- WiFi is not working properly - none of our Iphone's could be connected.

I would rate this 3* hotel 7,5/10. This as the staff is very friendly & helpfull. Everything is well prepared and clean, but there are some details missing.
