Stayed here twice and it’s actually not that bad. It’s a very interesting designed hotel. Seems to have a fair bit of history. A few years ago I expect it was quite an up-market place to stay, but it’s starting to show it’s age a little.
Some rooms are quite small and pokey and lack kettles / safes etc. So rooms though are huge, very nicely appointed and have the essential kettle and safes. The staff are very friendly, and even though the hotel is not the cleanest in the world it’s not that bad. It does have some form of charm about it, but it’s hard to describe where that charm comes from. Breakfast is good but very over priced (15 EUR) and the hotels Japanese restaurant always looks busy. There’s a Supermarket very close by and Hilversum has some decent bars and café, all are walkable from the hotel. Oh -the church over street starts to ring it’s very load bell at 8am in the morning and hotel is not double glazed.

Do not stay in this hotel if you want to lie in bed late in the mornings because the church across the road has real loud bells which sound all the time. Right that is the bad news well that and the fact the bar is no longer open oh and they do not have aircon in the bedrooms and as I was there during the heatwave it was a bit uncomftable at night. The room we had was a bit tatty but for £ 40 a night I can't complain A couple of mins walk from the centre where there are plenty of bars and restaurants.Albert Hien 100m away.
Japanese resraurant looked nice but we never used it.
All in all not a bad hotel if you get it cheap enough.
I would stay there again.

The Theater Gooiland is located at the end of Avenue GROST and a five minute walk from the train station so location is 5* - rooms are basic but have all the essentials, daily house keeping. I paid Euro 75 for the room which was great. But you have to search around at Bestwestern for the bes price. However breakfast is over priced at GBP 15; I suggest stepping out into town and getting a nice donner kebob or some other woderful thing. For the business traveller or tourist alike, the place is perfect - primarily because of its location and charming set up in the theater.
