Hotels Near Dagreacreatiegebied Rietplas in Houten

I was planning New Year's trip with friends and while browsing for hotels, Postillion seemed like ”the best bang for your buck”. Originally we booked a room for 3 nights, but because a friend bought our train tickets for a day earlier by mistake, we had to come one day before planned. Fortunately, we arranged everything with the receptionist over a simple phone call and got another room for that extra night (because ”ours” was occupied that night). If you travel by train like us, there is a short 15 minute walk from Bunnik train station to the hotel. The hotel is very clean and tidied up. Rooms have electric kettle and some tea and instant coffee packets, which is very helpful. A nice touch to the room is a bean bag. There is no mini bar, probably because drinking alcohol isn't allowed in the hotel. Bathrooms are a bit small, but if you're staying for a few nights it's okay. It was a little cold in the room, but we read that is a common thing in the Netherlands this winter. It would be nice if 4-bed rooms would have an extra desk and a chair. Housekeeping ladies were nice, polite and gave us extra instant coffee. On the New Year's Eve day, there was a gift from the hotel for all guests - traditional Dutch donuts and prosecco. The hotel is dog friendly. All of the receptionists were so very polite and friendly during our staying - that and cleanliness is something I will remember this hotel by.

I travel regularly to the Netherlands and I always insist on staying and the Hotel Vianen. Very spacious and comfortable rooms, clean, well maintained and mostly quiet. WiFi is fast and reliable and bathroom facilities are excellent. There is a pool and Spa, however I have never used these so cannot comment on them. Plenty of parking outside and very close to a major road, so everything is easily accessible. Highly recommended.

Only steps away from the Utrecht Central Station, this Hampton Inn is extremely convenient if traveling by train. Amsterdam and AMS are about a 30 minute train ride. The hotel is located inside a shopping mall which is very safe and secure. The old canal area, with its many shops, bars, and restaurants are also just a very short walk away. Rooms are typical for this hotel brand, but maybe a bit smaller if you are accustomed to American sized rooms. The free breakfast can be crowded at peek hours. However, the quality of the breakfast is outstanding for a select service hotel.

Nice hotel, decent rates, good bathroom, but really just lacking in information. First off, the hotel is in a mall, and there’s no indication of which doors are open after the mall closes and which aren’t. Google Maps is unaware of that, so if you’re relying on that or a similar service to get you back to the hotel, be aware that will not work, and employees will not provide you with useful information about this unless you ask. For the record, I eventually managed to enter via Catharinje Esplanade. Second, maybe it’s because I visited on a holiday, but there was no front desk or room service late at night, which would be totally fine IF that communication were provided. But there was no indication whatsoever that the supposedly 24 hour room service was not actually 24 hours. Again, certainly don’t begrudge employees a night off. But *management* needs to do a much better job communicating what services are or are not available and when. Don’t promise something your employees can’t deliver. If management would just set realistic expectations and provide a little more useful information, this would be a nice hotel.

This was advertised as a four star hotel . It wasn’t . Old and outdated with a musty smell in the halls. Dark and dingy room with no air conditioning. The room and bathroom were full of flies. The fitted sheets were so small that you would wake up every morning lying on the hard mattress. The shower (which was a bath unit with a shower attachment) totally soaked the floor whenever it was switched on and the shower screen wasn’t installed correctly. Breakfast on our first day consisted of a buffet with congealed scrambled egg and a unit which had only 4 slices of bacon . We were also offered chicken sausages which were disgusting . There was no toaster. We stayed for two nights and couldn’t wait to get out of the place . It was depressing .

I booked this hotel through Hotels.com using my tesco reward points. So I only had to pay taxes. I stayed from Wed-Mon in the middle of July. I was sent the long way around to this hotel by google maps but when I said to the receptionist that I wouldn’t be able to walk that way at night she corrected me and it was only a short climb up the steps to the train station. I arrived at 11am and was just expecting to use the toilet and leave my luggage. But Estella said my room was ready and so I went straight up to the 9 floor. My room was right over the train lines but with the windows shut you did not hear them. A huge bed, lovely shower and a fridge. The bed was very comfortable. I needed to get to De Meern to see friends and Estella pointed me in the right direction for a lovely walk which took 60 minutes in the lovely countryside. Breakfast was great and and even though the hotel was full there were no queues for breakfast. Throughout my stay all staff were kind and polite. My only negatives and they are so small was when I asked for more regular coffee reception didn’t have again and the cup holder on the ice machine was nearly always empty. Overall I have had a excellent stay and I will be back.

Pros: The restaurant and its staff are incredibly nice, open until 9pm (past that, they only serve main dishes) and the meals we had were top notch; we even got a comp'ed appetizer. The pool and spa are open until 11pm and we took advantage of that. There is a table tennis table and a pool table. We had a few extra coffee pods and tea bags added to our closet that they had placed there as extras (no cost to us). You are also close to the Austerlitz Pyramid (just down the road), which is nice to visit (note that this is not the Austerlitz where the 1805 battle took place, just a monument built in 1804 by Auguste de Marmont's soldiers, renamed ”the Pyramid of Austerlitz” in 1806 after Napoleon Bonaparte's 1805 Austerlitz victory). Cons: The facility seems to be ”old world chique” and does appeal to a certain clientele. Due to the way this hotel/restaurant was built and added to over the years, it is quite the labyrinth. If you want to get to the pool, you will have to arm yourself with patience. Moreover, the signs are in Dutch only and the signage is not well done (see the pool reference). Breakfast cost at the time, 18.50 Euro and we skipped it, since there are a few supermarkets and bakeries in the area (car or bike required). Now, our main con was that we reserved a room for 4 adults and we confirmed with a King and 2 twin beds... the fourth bed was a foldable cot or ”camping” bed. The mattress was no more than 2 inches thick and 1 inch once you laid on to it. Needless to say that that person had a rough night. There is no food ordering from outside the hotel, like Uber. The Wi-Fi was really bad from our room. They limit you to 4 coffee pods (a day (based on our total occupancy) and you need to pay if you want more.

Great Hilton near Amersfoort. Rooms are great and with some excellent views over the Golf Course (from your Balcony 😎) Rooms are spacious and have a modern decor. Beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is good (apart from the Scrambled egg which is a bit hard/over-cooked 😕) and the Restaurant has a nice chilled feeling, so a great way to start the morning. The staff are really helpful (I forgot my Adapter and they found one for me 👍). The hotel is a bit out of the way, so you'll really need a car, but it's seclusion is what makes it so good 👍
