Hotel berhampiran Molen ＇Hoop Doet Leven＇, Made

Bijzondere overnachting in dit hotel. Entree is dezelfde entree als het bejaardenhuis wat er aan vast zit. Het ontbijt bevindt zich bij binnenkomst links, waarna je door een gangetje langs de receptie moet lopen om het op te kunnen eten. Daarbij kwam ik dus diverse bejaarden tegen. Ik heb niks tegen bejaarden, maar het geeft een bepaalde sfeer. Het hotel is verder zeer gehorig. Toiletten die door getrokken worden, douche wat in andere kamers aan gaat en gepraat op de gang is allemaal goed te horen. Ook veel geluid van buiten (ligt echt aan het centrum) en aan die zijde hadden wij ook de kamer. Kamer is verder prima, matras was goed. Het dekbed was erg warm (het was uitzonderlijk warm in oktober). Badkamer ook prima. Ontbijt is lekker en het personeel is zeer vriendelijk. Vanwege de combinatie hotel/bejaardenhuis zou ik niet snel terug gaan, maar dat ligt echt aan mijn eigen ervaringen met een bejaardenhuis en de herinneringen die ik daar aan koppel.

We have chosen the hotel because of its location close to Rotterdam and the motorway. We had some work to do, so decided to take a Skyline Suite, so we had some space to sit and work. Regrettably the suites are made for a romantic outing. Being on the 13th floor there is no worry that somebody looks into the room. The hotel also takes an extra € 150 as bond, in case you make a mess of the room. There is a separate toilet. The bathroom area is huge. Two wash basins and lot of space, regrettably there were no glasses available. We used the carton coffee cups to drink from. A huge batch in an open area, which was not used. An open room again with 2 showers and ‘rainforest’ shower heads in the ceiling. The water pressure was not high enough to really make them work. Also no towel rails or towels provided in that room. So - unless you were prepared - you had to walk into the space with the bath in , to get towels. Only 2 towels are provided, large enough to wrap a child in… but not big enough for an adult. The quality was inferior and not nice big and fluffy for a room with so many water features. Again only 2 larger towels so if you wanted a bath and a shower, you had to use a wettish towel for the second use. No table where you could use a room service meal , nor decent chairs. No desk either, instead a make table with a big mirror. Two lounge chairs, where you can only lie in, next to the bed where you can lie in. The bed is big, but the mattress did not fit the bed! On both sides you had 15 cms space. The room has a coffee machine, with 4 coffee pods. So you’d better not be a coffee drinker. A small fridge is also present, with 2 small bottles of water, so no min bar!! For a room which costs over € 300 this can be used as a nice romantic getaway with your secret friend … but bring your own ice box, towels and coffee!!

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.

Zeer goed modern hotel met mooie kamer. Lijkt van de buitenkant erg zakelijk, maar is binnen best wel knus en gezellig. Wij sliepen op de 3e verdieping in een nette mooie kamer. Wel oppassen voor inkijk vanuit het kantoorpand. Blue Welness sauna met zwembad in het hotel was niet echt groot/uitgebreid, maar wel prettig om te gebruiken. Het ontbijt was erg goed verzorgd en keuze te over. Wij hadden een diner bijgeboekt in het hotel en dat was echt Formidabel. Wij komen echt vaak in restaurants, maar de kok(s) krijgen van ons echt een compliment, Super gegeten.
