Hotel berhampiran MikMak: SoLow supplier Etten-Leur, Etten-Leur

We are travelling from England to Sweden by car. We stopped here for dinner whilst we waited for our car to charge close by...fantastic dinner. Worth every penny. Beer good, wine good, service good, presentation and taste of food excellent. So pleased the EV Chargers led us here!!

The hotel is located in a beautifully renovated building in the center of Breda. Stylish with many authentic elements but with a modern twist. If you come by car, you can choose the Valet service or park your car in the practically nearby parking De Barones yourself. The parking garage has several charging stations for electric cars. We arrived at the restaurant side of the hotel looking for the entrance. An attentive employee saw us and asked if we were looking for the hotel. He took over our suitcase and escorted us to the front desk to check-in. See, now that's hospitality. The ladies at the front desk were also very friendly and welcomed me as a Platinum member with a nice room upgrade. My room on the 5th floor was very spacious — lovely big bed, separate toilet, spacious bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower. Besides a bottle of Holy water, there is also a Nespresso machine for a cup of coffee. Too bad the bar was closed in the evening, and we had to go out for drinks. They served breakfast in the former chapel. Found that space is somewhat claustrophobic as you are locked in and can't see outside.

Mijn vrouw en ik hebben overnacht in Hotel Central in Roosendaal, en dat allemaal dankzij een onvoorziene situatie. Toen we op een zondagnacht gestrand waren op Roosendaal Centraal vanwege een storing bij de NS, besloten we om de nacht door te brengen in dit hotel. En wat een geluk was dat! Bij aankomst werden we vriendelijk begroet door de nachtportier, die ons meteen welkom liet voelen. Na een kort overleg met zijn collega, konden we nog een kamer boeken. De prijs was zeer redelijk, vooral gezien de situatie, en we waren aangenaam verrast door de kwaliteit van de kamer. De kamer was ruim, comfortabel en brandschoon. We konden echt even tot rust komen na de onverwachte wending van onze avond. Wat ons het meest opviel, was de vriendelijkheid van het personeel bij de receptie. Ze waren attent, behulpzaam en deden er alles aan om ons verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Hun positieve houding maakten echt een verschil voor ons. Het voelde alsof we bij vrienden verbleven in plaats van in een hotel. De volgende ochtend werden we getrakteerd op een heerlijk ontbijt. Er was een ruime keuze aan verse broodjes, beleg, fruit en warme dranken. Al met al kunnen we Hotel Central in Roosendaal ten zeerste aanbevelen. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen tot het moment van vertrek, werden we behandeld als gewaardeerde gasten. De vriendelijke mensen, de betaalbare prijs en de kwaliteit van de kamer maakten onze onverwachte overnachting tot een positieve ervaring. Onze oprechte dank aan het team van Hotel Central!

房間非常寬敞，很大很大，乾淨整潔，餐廳東西也很好吃

Hele mooie ruime en zeer nette kamer. Bedden zijn zalig om in te slapen. Hele propere ruime badkamer alles erop en eraan. Ontbijt was dik in orde. Lekkere koffie, veel aanbod van brood, yoghurt, toast, ei, zoetigheden,… Het was enorm rustig in het hotel… rust ten top. Ook bij het ontbijt. Wij sliepen met raam open en hele rustige buurt. Enige minpunt: geen thermostatische kraan in douche/bad. Dit was echt het enigste minpunt voor ons.

I booked this hotel again as we’ve liked it on previous trips for the Efteling. On this occasion we found the room to be very good with comfy beds, nice bedding, clean and stylish. What I would wish for at this price is some tea and coffee making facilities. It is ridiculous to have to go to the reception and buy coffee when you’ve paid quite a lot for the hotel. In the evening we ate in the hotel as a large group made up of 3 families. The food was excellent however when we came to pay we were very surprised that we could not split the bill. The bill was €200 so obviously no one wants to pay for all of that! We wanted to make one payment per family ie 3 payments to clear the bill. The staff member said we had to make only one payment in total because we had all sat together. She was a bit rude and we all found this very odd.

When staying at the hotel we couldn’t fault it. Children stay free if sharing a room, and we had booked to visit Efteling. We didn’t realise but our stay coincided with carnival, for this reason I think we were allocated a room at the back of the hotel (as I can imagine those front facing would be very noisy - there is a huge stage directly in front of the hotel at this time, as well as many food vans and outside bars etc - not that any of this worried us). So our room was on the 5th floor at the rear with a direct view of the multi story car park! (But we didn’t book for a view!). The room was well equipped with a comfy bed and a seperate shower and toilet. Everything was very clean. The only issue I would say regarding the rooms is that they were very dark so it was hard to see your items in the wardrobe. Not a big deal! The staff on reception were really helpful and chatty, and gave us lots of advice. It’s super easy to reach Efteling from here, we walked to the coach station (just by the train station) and there were regular buses. Again children travel free. You could walk to the station in about 10-15 mins. The shopping streets are very close to the hotel, and nice for a stroll - plenty of places to eat etc. we enjoyed backwerk bakery just a couple of shops down from the hotel, they did fresh smoothies and juices and lovely fresh sandwiches. Perfect for brunch/lunch. There is a Taco Bell next to the hotel! My son wanted to try it but we didn’t get chance! The issue for us came out check out, our flight wasn’t until the evening so we asked to use the secure luggage room for our case so we could enjoy our last day. We came back to the hotel to pick up our bag, and make our way to the airport. I was let in to the luggage room to get our case, but it had gone. The staff didn’t know what to do, apart from check and speak to other staff members. Eventually I asked to see the manager as we really needed to leave (fortunately we had been sensible and kept our passports and money etc on us). And I was asking for something in writing to say they had “lost” our case - as I didn’t feel comfortable just leaving with no proof (they also wanted to take the luggage receipts - I think because they wanted to figure out what had happened). The manager was “checking the CCTV” but upon our second request did come out and see us. She did apologise for the case going missing (after a long time!! More hearing about how strange this was?!?) and said if it “wasn’t found” they would replace it. At this point I was getting concerned about travelling home without any of our things, especially with my son, for example some warmer clothes, his switch!! I felt the customer service here was lacking, there was no gesture here - could they assist us getting to the airport for example - She did offer to go to the shop but by this point we were cutting it so fine to get to the airport / which we said to her! We have no time now! It was very disappointing a
