The Efteling Hotel is entirely in keeping with a visit to the Efteling theme park. You're even allowed admission to the Efteling 15 minutes prior to the park's official opening times by means of a special gate; plus several attractions will already be open for you at this point. The Efteling lies right next to the hotel. This hotel is perfect for children as it exudes the magical atmosphere of a world of wonders. And in summer you can take a seat on the hotel's outdoor terrace after a lovely day at the Efteling theme park, which is open 365 days a year.
This fairytale world is also reflected in the hotel rooms. All rooms include facilities such as a themed bathroom, a television, a safe and air conditioning. Children will have a great time in the colourful Play Castle, which offers all sorts of games and activities. Small adjustments have been made throughout the hotel for children. For instance, there are a number of special children's toilets and little steps in the bathroom.

Going to Efterling Park? This is the place to stay...
+
If you wish to visit de Efterling Park then this hotel is perfectly situated nearby. If you can call ahead try to reserve the themed suites they offer, worth the money for a bit of magic in your stay. My girlfriend is a celiac and cannot eat gluten, the hotel restaurant was very good at providing glten free food. ***** Service for gluten free.

When the park closes at 6 find out if there is a quicker way back to the hotel.

Perfect for a day or 2 at the park.

The beds were very soft and caused us to sink into the middle. It's very dated and could do with a big update.

A great alternative to Disneyland
+
A comfortable and friendly place to stay with children which is ideally located for access to the Efteling theme park. The hotel is well served by regular local buses that take you to either of the nearest major train stations.
–
The hotel and theme park are much busier on Fridays and weekends and the breakfast service is clearly under pressure on these days. Basic breakfast items often temporarily run out and you can find yourself waiting around before they are replenished.

Fantastic for the whole family!!

Amazing hotel, even the 'basic' rooms are full of character and contain far more facilities for the price. We got a VERY good deal through this website. Brilliant play area by restaurant, indoor and outdoor. Food was superb. Go outside in the dark and make sure you get photos of the hotel lit up at night, it is stunning.
–
No minus points for hotel unless you count very long wait for check in/out at busy times but hey, just go when it's quiet! One tip for families visiting Efteling park - MAKE SURE you find out when 'family' days are on, and avoid the first 2 weeks in July when the Dutch schools finish, we managed to go on a hideously busy day when security confirmed there were 6000 youths, fights, trouble, complaints...lots of the park was spoiled for us and our poor little boys asking when they could leave! Efteling on any other day is WONDERFUL. Ok so this is not linked to the wonderful hotel but DO bear this in mind!!

Nice, freindly and helpful staff as always, location great for the park. The hotel is always clean, tidy and welcoming. The Hotel is well situated for travelling to and from Calais, easy and straightforward to find by road thus making the holiday completly stress free.
–
The menu in the main resturant is not reallu ideal for families and very pricey. The bar area was good as the children can play in the playroom whilst you watch them, the food offered bettervalue but the menu is not varied that much and hasn't changed at all in over 3 years of visiting. One or two different meals would make a big difference as chips with everything or salad gets a little much after 2 nights. The bar staff are very helpful and welcoming though particularly Harold and Henry!

The hotel is perfectly located and was really in keeping with the whole Efteling experience.
The characters who entertained the children at breakfast time were excellent and got our visit to the park off to a magical start.
