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.

I stayed for a total of 3 days in Hotel De Kroon, a friend of mine for one night. We booked 2 single rooms, but both of them had some problems. First the positive: The location is great and the staff is really friendly. Efteling is just a few minutes away and a supermarket is right next door. The rooms weren't really dirty, and a tv is included. The interior is nice as well. But there was a lot of bad stuff which shouldn't be there at that price point. The biggest problem was the oldness of the rooms. Some light fixtures were coming off, a chair was broken and not safe to sit on, and in one of the rooms, the light bulb and glass shelf of the mirror were missing. The worst thing about the oldness is the lack of air conditioning. Yes, we had the hottest days of the whole year, but the rooms and even the floors got warmed up so fast, that there wasn't any chance of cooling the room itself down. There was a ceiling fan, which helped partly, but it was a bit noisy and wasn't centred over the bed, it was centred in the room, so I had a few sleepless nights. The supermarket next door saved my stay with cold drinks and vegetables, but I bought a bar of chocolate in the evening and it turned itself into chocolate milk overnight. I know that air conditioning is expensive and not eco-friendly, but at least include a mini fridge in the room, which can be plugged off if it is not in use. Space for it is there, and it wouldn't be that expensive. Another annoying thing is that the beds are on rolls without breaks. The single room includes two, which were moving independently from each other. In a bigger room, this would make sense. But in this small room, it was only annoying. Mattresses were moving around, the beds themselves got separated so it was uncomfortable moving between the two sides, and items fell between the beds. One single bed would be enough, and there would be the added benefit of some more space in the room! I've definitely seen worse hotels, but for this price, I expect a bit more. Unless they renovate the place, include a fridge, or lower the prices I won't come back to this hotel if I stay alone. I don't know anything about the quality of the other rooms, especially the newer ones, but I can't recommend the single ones at all. I would rather look for a cheaper hotel and travel by bus.

Fletcher hotel & restaurant Waalwijk was the perfect location for us to stay with our large family group the night before going to Efteling. Arriving late after a long trip, the kitchen had technically closed but they still organized some yummy foods for us. The staff could not have been more accommodating and even our pickiest young eaters were delighted with the breakfast selection (us adults were too but not as picky as the young ones in the group!) Perfect spot, and definitely will stay when we do this trip again next year (provided no pandemics scupper our plans like they did the last few years!) Excellent value, great service! Many thanks to the staff for making sure our holiday began in a wonderful way!

Direct bij binnenkomst voelden we het. Dit is een plek waar je je thuis voelt. Hartelijke ontvangst. Kamers met een eigen stijl. Goed ontbijt. Heerlijke lunch. Smakelijke gerechten als diner. Nieuw en origineel ingericht restaurant. Zonnig terras. Uitzicht op prachtig park. We waren met een groep van 8 personen, waarvan 4 uit Canada. De Villa vormde een goede uitvalsbasis voor bezoeken aan Rotterdam, Antwerpen, Heusden en Den Bosch. De warme gastvrijheid van het hele team maakte grote indruk op ons. Dit alles maakte De Villa tot ons t****e thuis, waarin de huisstijl en de stijl-van-het-huis hand in hand gingen!
