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…

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.

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 The room was not well-maintained, the facilities were outdated, and the overall service was subpar.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.

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!!

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.

Terrible condition and service, avoid

If you enjoy sitting in the middle of a group of drunk elderly people loudly singing and clapping to loud Schlager music, EVERY DAY, then this hotel might be for you, were it not that the room was not clean, did not include toilets and showers (and the shared ones were not clean either and were always out of toilet paper), and everything was broken. The curtain was hanging off its rails so that it could not close entirely, the (empty) refrigerator was so loud that it woke us up and had to unplug it. Then, the music from the terrace started playing again and 7 am and woke us up. On top of all that, parking was not included and surprised us with extra costs. Honestly, the room looked like it was painted by an underpaid teen (paint stains were everywhere, from the ceiling to the dirty carpet). The closet was damaged. The staff were rude to us when we complained. The manager was outright hostile. At least breakfast was alright. Would not recommend this hotel, avoid at all cost if you want to nice hotel stay.

Actual Costs Compared to Reservation Costs

Hotel De Elderschans charged me extra for a private bathroom although included in booking confirmation. I showed them my printed reservation which states Private Bathroom and toiletries included but they said room booked was Economy and I would have to pay additional 10 Euros for a Private Bathroom. On top of that they made an additional (unpublished) charge for car parking at an additional cost of 9.90 Euros. Total cost came to 56.20 Euros including taxes considerably higher than the 33.65 quoted so I have been somewhat mislead when it comes to prices and am far from happy.
