We went to Maarsbergen because we wanted to visit the castles of Doorn and Amerongen. The castles and the woods were very impressive
This new hotel is located between the busy railway (on the left) and the highway (on the right). The standardroom was kind of soundproof, but did not have a window that opened. Even with earplugs, we could hear the train, but it did not disturb our sleep.
The standard room was modern but not too big. The bathroom had a separate bath and shower. The dispensers for the showergel did not work properly, it seemed as if the showergel ran out, but if you took the tube (brand "Dove", not especially environmentally friendly) from the dispenser, there was still plenty of shower gel in the tube. By squeezing a lot, the shower gel came from the tube. The small showercabin (60 cm wide) had a water saving showerhead, where very little water came out, so one had to take a lot of time for hairwashing. I think it's foolish of the hotel to save a few pennies by replacing amenities by not-working dispensers with plastic tubes inside in the name of environment. Something like that arouses annoyance. Why not providing amenities from an environmentally friendly brand in an recycled packaging?
The reception, lounge, bar and restaurant are located in one space without partitions.
There was free wifi and free parking. The heating was OK. The breakfast (with mini rolls and fruit salad) was OK. The staff could be friendlier. If you want a low budget dinner, you can go to the opposite "La Place" restaurant.
