Book only as a last resort

They don’t show many pictures of the rooms for a good reason. They’re not nice at all. They only good thing about this hotel is the surroundings and the price.

Hotel seems a bit neglected. Outside area has bits of furniture that are broken which is a shame as the location is quite lovely next to a canal and forest. The furniture in the rooms show quite a lot of signs of wear and age with chipped corners or discolouration. Bedding seemed clean but found hairs on the duvet from previous occupants.

This hotel was extremely disappointing for the price. The room was not well-maintained, the facilities were outdated, and the overall service was subpar. For the amount we paid, we expected much better conditions. Definitely not worth the money—would not stay here again.

Fabulous and Fantastic Find!!

This place was an incredible and completely unexpected find! The out of the way location and beautiful surroundings were indeed a breath of fresh air! Staff completely welcoming, as indeed were all of the other guests. In all of the years of my extensive travelling, I've never experienced anything like it!!

The "low cost" rooms are VERY basic, the TV system didn't work in my room, only one station was available. The bathrooms are shared, reasonably clean and up to standard. Nice surroundings and quit area.

Questionable hotel although the night was okay

We booked the hotel via the hotels app, checking certain requirements before booking. Additional costs, facilities ect... Arrived at the hotel and was greeted with additional cost not listed on the app. Covid related ventilation costs we were told. They also tried to put us in a shared bathroom room even though what we booked said private bathroom. Additional parking costs which we were not aware of. Loud guests and thin walls. Although we had a okay nights sleep and the facilities were suitable when we were given the correct room. The whole situation was rather strange and I suspect they fool travelers with these ridiculous additional charges.

Terrible condition and service, avoid

If you enjoy sitting in the middle of a group of drunk elderly people loudly singing and clapping to loud Schlager music, EVERY DAY, then this hotel might be for you, were it not that the room was not clean, did not include toilets and showers (and the shared ones were not clean either and were always out of toilet paper), and everything was broken. The curtain was hanging off its rails so that it could not close entirely, the (empty) refrigerator was so loud that it woke us up and had to unplug it. Then, the music from the terrace started playing again and 7 am and woke us up. On top of all that, parking was not included and surprised us with extra costs. Honestly, the room looked like it was painted by an underpaid teen (paint stains were everywhere, from the ceiling to the dirty carpet). The closet was damaged. The staff were rude to us when we complained. The manager was outright hostile. At least breakfast was alright. Would not recommend this hotel, avoid at all cost if you want to nice hotel stay.

Actual Costs Compared to Reservation Costs

Hotel De Elderschans charged me extra for a private bathroom although included in booking confirmation. I showed them my printed reservation which states Private Bathroom and toiletries included but they said room booked was Economy and I would have to pay additional 10 Euros for a Private Bathroom. On top of that they made an additional (unpublished) charge for car parking at an additional cost of 9.90 Euros. Total cost came to 56.20 Euros including taxes considerably higher than the 33.65 quoted so I have been somewhat mislead when it comes to prices and am far from happy.

Hotel was absolutely fine for the money, no complaints. Just make sure you ask for a room as far away from the bar as possible as it's quite noisy at night Nothing in walking distance of the hotel Gym was an added bonus with basic equipment

De indruk van deze accommodatie was op ons moment van het verblijf niet goed. Het hotel was echter pas 3 weken in het bezit van de nieuwe eigenaar wat een hoop verklaard. De vorige eigenaar heeft door covid weinig meer aan het onderhoud kunnen doen vandaar dat het onderhoud vooral buiten veel achterstand had. De tuin niet onderhouden, het terras werd om het moment met de hogedruk gereinigd, het verfwerk was vuil en onderkomen. Maar ze waren dus druk bezig met het op te knappen. De kamer die wij hadden had nieuwe laminaat over de vloerbedekking maar was in de hoeken niet afgewerkt, de badkamer gedateerd en een sproeier in de douche die je niet kon afpakken om op alle plekken te sproeien. De gangen roken fris en waren schoon, het ontbijtbuffet was goed verzorgd met heerlijke hete koffie en koffiespecialiteiten. Het personeel wat niet allemaal de taal beheerste was vriendelijk. We schrokken wel van de hoge kosten voor een klein huisdier (€17,50 per dag per dier ) en ook de parkeerkosten van (€8,95 per dag). Het hotel ligt bosrijk maar ver van alles af, een auto is noodzakelijk want OV is er bijna niet. We wilden er even tussenuit, 2 nachtjes met de hondjes, en waren er alleen voor logies en ontbijt. Of de all in formule zin heeft kunnen we niet beoordelen, het eten was naar horen zeggen wel lekker. Losse drank bestellen is prijzig en het bier van de tap niet lekker. Drank bestellen als je geen all in hebt moet je bij de receptie, afhalen aan de bar.
