What guests think

Across many reviews, GuestHouse Hotel Kaatsheuvel-Waalwijk stands out for friendly, attentive staff, clean comfortable rooms suited to families, and a convenient location within an easy walk of Efteling and everyday needs like a supermarket and free parking nearby.

Families appreciate on-site dining and bar, play areas, a roof garden with mini-golf, and free laundry facilities. Rooms are modern and generally spacious, but some feel tight when extra beds are in use, and a few mention noise, bathroom smells or dust, and limited in-room amenities like no fridge, kettle, or microwave. Breakfast and restaurant meals receive plenty of praise, though a handful found food quality or value average, occasional shortages at busy times, and restrictions on eating outside food in common areas. Overall, expect a clean, friendly, very convenient base for Efteling-focused family stays.

Place was clean, kinda cramped. Lots of things for kids to do. We didn’t love how from 11pm-6am they shut the gate of the parking lot, I mean.. I know it’s for security but I just don’t like not being able yo leave if I want to and also good to know if you need to catch a flight from the airport 1.5 hours away.

This hotel is great. It's the third time we've stayed in it over the last 10 years. This time we were a party of 20 spread over 4 rooms. There's plenty of space for children to run around and play. Lots of comfy seating in the bar. The prices in the bar are OK. The hotel is built on top of a supermarket which is open until 22:00 every day, so super convenient for getting drinks and snacks if you don't want to pay hotel prices for everything. We didn't use the restaurant this time as we had a couple of very picky children and a child with allergies with us but we used it previously and it was very convenient. This time we went for Dominos and kebabs which were both available within a few minutes walk from the hotel. This hotel is perfect for the night before Efteling trips and very family friendly. Just fully read the room description and make sure you pick a room with beds at a suitable height for your child's ability. Some of them are very high. None of our rooms had fridges this time. We would definitely stay there again.

Great location to Efteling, probably closer than their actual hotel. Breakfast was great and there were free laundry machines which was much needed. Great garden area to enjoy a drink, mini golf , billiards,etc.

Prima hotel, we hadden dit hotel geboekt zodat we de volgende dag meteen naar de Efteling konden. Eigenlijk is het hotel te “mooi” om alleen te gebruiken voor “doorreis” Op het terras was een speelgedeelte en golf! Leek erg leuk! Bedden waren prima,

The room was clean and spacious. We loved the bar, kids areas, and bar staff was very friendly. Within a 10-15 minute walk to the front gate of Efteling, and drive-able to other restaurants and shopping. We loved having a market directly beneath the hotel. We just wished there was at least a mini refrigerator and/or microwave in the room. We bought some perishables (cheese, meats) from the market and couldn't store them anywhere cold.

I booked this hotel purely because it is very close to Efteling. 10 minutes walking distance. The hotel is decorated in a simple and modern way, very clean, it looks sustainable too. The environment of the hotel gives very comfortable feeling, and the staff are very friendly. The room is very clean and the beds are truly comfy. One of the best hotels for its price/quality ratio. Highly recommended especially to families that plan to visit Efteling.

Rooms

Modern, comfortable family rooms with popular bunk-bed layouts and very comfy beds; many find them spacious. Some report tight space when pullouts are used, limited window opening, noise from neighbors, high bunks, bed-joining gaps, and few bedside surfaces.

Conveniently located for Efteling which we visited following our stay. Bright spacious room although this reduced when the pull out beds were out. Very friendly welcoming staff. Excellent restaurant on site for dinner & breakfast. Only downside no bedside tables, just a rack for your phone or book but nowhere to put a cup next to the bed.

Great hotel with great staff. 8 min walking to Efteling. Behind the hotel there is a market with a huge parking lot, where you can park your car for free. The room had a great design and was recently refurbished. The “queen” bed was in fact two single mattresses together, making us to wake in the hole between them in the middle of the night. I don’t understand why some hotels do that instead of having a single queen mattress. Our bathroom was smelling TERRIBLE. The staff was kind and helpful verifying and cleaning again but the smell coming from the sink didn't get better. They offered to change the room (and also gave me a few drinks for free) but we were late in the night with kids sleeping so we decided not to change. The shower has no glass doors so every bath with the children was a mess wetting the whole place. Breakfast was honest, we liked it. In general the experience was impacted by the situation with the mattresses and bathroom, however the location is great and also the staff. I’d look for other options when with kids.
