The location was perfect for visiting the nearby Efteling park, making it easy and convenient for adults and families. The dining was a mixed bag, with some disappointing elements and some pleasant surprises.
I was pleasantly surprised when they upgraded our room to a bigger one, making our stay very satisfying. The room had a cozy Efteling theme, perfect for extending the Efteling experience.

The hotel was a great start with the subtle theming in the wallpaper that my daughter loved discovering, along with a couple of other fairytale secrets in the room, even for an extra 90 euros. However, the separate charge for housekeeping was a bit unexpected.
The hotel offers a great start with subtle theming in the wallpaper and beautiful room layout, but the rooms are cute with their details yet very dirty and used.
