Garderen Spa Hotel

"We found the room clean. We requested cleaning only on the 2nd night. The housekeeping staff was clearly not happy when she knocked and we were still in the room. We asked her to come later in the day. The rest of the staff was super friendly! Gym, pool and sauna were ok. The only issue was that we weren’t told that there would be some construction being set up outside our room. My husband was surprised to see a man outside our window when he opened the curtains in the morning. All in all we had a lovely stay. "

"I loved the stay overall. Room was spacious and the staff was nice. But I felt the breakfast price was too expensive for the options available"

"This is a lovely hotel, with excellent friendly staff. It is a conference centre too, so has big spaces, very exclusive dining in some areas, a pool / leisure suite and open lounge areas, inside and out. Parking is onsite and it is within a pine forest with trails to the town of Zeist. "

"The room was clean on arrival. However, the room was not cleaned for 5 days I was there. There was some coffe pods on the first day, then no replacements. I did ask for more coffee, milk and sugar. They gave 3 coffee, no milk or sugar. Breakfast was okay, however the hot options were scrambled eggs and bacon. 2 days they did put on chicken sausages and beans. There were other continental options. The evening menu was the same for every night. Except Sunday when it was closed. Would not stay here again. To far out from everywhere. "

"Welcome from the reception staff was great and the help at checkout excellent "

"Nice"

"Fantastic. Ample parking space, clean room, great breakfast. Friendly staff."

"Clean room very good staff especially the reception staff. The only little thing was that the room had 2 single beds put together rather than a double bed. "

"We stayed here also a year ago and the hotel has definitely taken a turn for the worse. They have removed the front desk and replaced it with self check in iPads. Whoever thought of this should be fired immediately: a hotel relies on its personal touch and human interaction. I’m young and able, but no guest arriving after a long journey wants to fill out info on an iPad! Everything about our stay felt cheap. The hallway to our room was freezing. The duvets are so thin that we called (from our cell phone because there’s no phone in the room) for a second duvet, the floor in the bathroom is unheated and freezing, and I could go on. Our son with baby had a second room and they informed us in advance that they charge extra for a baby cot (unacceptable). There’s a coffee station in the lobby and it says with big letters that if you’re a guest staying in the hotel, you’re not allowed to use this coffee station (also unacceptable). It’s Christmas but not a festive chocolate in sight (I could swear there were chocolates last year at the front desk!). No welcome note or welcome gift in the room. Everything about our stay said that this hotel is past its prime and won’t survive. Our stay was just mediocre at best. One positive: the gin and tonic with berries in the bar is fabulous and the bartender was great (tip for the hotel: keep him). "
