Hotel

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.

Surroundings

Naturally, the Efteling Hotel is the perfect place to rest your head after a great day at the theme park. Other parks in the area include the Efteling Golf Park and Safari Park Beekse Bergen. The historic fortress town of Heusden and the picturesque town of Oisterwijk are within easy reach of Kaatsheuvel, as are larger cities such as Breda, Tilburg and 's-Hertogenbosch. And you can also venture out and explore some scenic beauty in De Loonse and Drunense Duinen National Park.

Food and Drink

An extensive breakfast buffet is served at the hotel every morning. Restaurant De Hoffelijke Heraut offers à la carte dining. Highchairs and children's menus are also available. You are recommended to make reservations in advance.

    J ai beaucoup apprécié mon séjour à l hôtel Efteling où j avais déjà séjourné l année dernière. Et surtout la gentillesse à la réception pour aider les visiteurs....

    Une petite chose qui était moins bien que durant mon séjour de juillet 2014. La salle du petit déjeuner était fort sombre, presque pas d éclairage... Aussi, l année dernière on pouvait consommer un plat chaud au bar de l hôtel.. Les plats pouvant être consommés au bar ont été supprimés de la carte et il reste juste les menus de la carte du restaurant principal... qui ne sont évidemment pas du tout dans le même ordre de prix... Je l ai signalé à l accueil et ils m ont confi

    The hotel is beautiful. The scenery is gorgeous.

    Excellent service - the crew is very friendly (actually all Dutch people are) and ready to help you in any way. Very comfortable and large beds. Tranquil atmosphere. Non smoking hotel. Definitely, the perfect place to stay if you want to visit the Efteling Park.

    The minus point is that it is a little expensive. But still, we ve got a deal for 2 nights-stay in the hotel with 3 entrances to the park.

    “My tip: I recommend the hotel to whoever wants to visit the Efteling Park. It s next to the park. So, if you feel exhausted and want to rest in the middle of the day - especially, if you have young children - the hotel is very convenient. Good Brasserie pub - in Breda village some kilometers near Efteling. ”

    Great

    Very nice hotel, great especially for kids. Super close to the park, not the main entrance, so you will miss the huge entrance, but you can walk there later. Nice rooms, with little surprises for the little ones. Great breakfast, also a lot for kids

    The babybed was a bit weak (we did not use it, our 3 year old wanted to sleep in a big bed

    “My tip: Go early in the morning, leave your things in the car or storage until your room is done, and join the park. At about 15.00 you can go back to the hotel and bring your things in your room. And back to the park, so you don t miss to much of the park......so much to see (2days are almost to short)”

    Great to stay for Eftelilng Park Visit

    Rooms are good size, just steps to efteling park, resturant taste's too good and above all breakfast is awesome.

    Not close to local markets to shop arround.

    “My tip: Use this hotel if you are going solely for Efteling Park.”

    My daughter wants to come again to Eftling and to this hotel

    Child's dream comes true in this hotel. Very nicly smiling people. Great team put up quality show in the lobby. Breakfast was designed for kids. Beautiful Wonder Water suite. Plenty of candy. Good bar with nice choise of beer for parents.

    Don't see any. It was just perfect. People of Nederlands should be proud of the Eftling. Thanks.

    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.

    Great location if visiting the amusement park.

    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.

    Convenient and Comfortable

    Close proximity to the Efteling. Entrance to the Efteling via private gate and 15 minutes before the park's opening time. Very child orientated.

    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!!

    Great theme hotel - nice addition to the park

    While we were allowed in the park at 9:45 - none of the major rides were open yet.Bit of a disappointment.

    A good qaulity, well situated hotel with very freindly staff.

    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.

    Right next to the Efteling Park; provides early and special access to the park for it\'s guests. For the children, the experience starts even before they get to the park.
