Veldhoven Hotels with Bars

On arrival we discovered this hotel was in the middle of nowhere, and our guide didn’t sell visiting Eindhoven, said it was just an industrial town like Silicon Valley, so we didn’t take the 30 minute bus ride, despite there being a bus stop just outside the hotel. The hotel was very big, clean, had a gym apparently, but only had a small bar which didn’t open until 2pm, but then was limited in its offering. The main restaurant was open for lunch at €15, but only offered a bowl of soup, choice of 4 rolls, a piece of cake (no choice) and some diluted fruit juice. Not much of a restaurant in my opinion. We didn’t risk their dinner buffet, and although it did have an al la carte restaurant too in the evening, that too didn’t offer much choice. The room was basic but clean and quite a walk from reception. Apparently it specialising in conferencing, certainly the facilities didn’t suggest appropriate for spending time in the hotel. Breakfast, only served till 10am weekdays, too was basic and limited. Only a domestic toaster was on hand. Overall, okay to put your head down overnight, not much else. I wouldn’t give it 4 stars.
