Van der Valk Hotel de Bilt-Utrecht

Travelling on a coach tour with Johnson’s UK. The greeting was lovely and friendly. We were given our rooms very quickly and our cases arrived soon after. The room was large with two single beds and the usual tea, coffee etc. plenty of plugs. A nice addition was a door to the outside, in my case a small patio. As I was part of a group we had buffet meals each evening. They were a selection of cold meats and salads, then a hot selection of meats and often chips but they did change to rice and potatoes on some days. Sweets and fruit were always available too. Coffee and tea but I could not always find plain English tea so took my own and only found milk at breakfast. Breakfast was plentiful with cold meats, cheese and hot offering of sausage, egg in variety forms and bacon. Bread but not toast. Fruit, yogurt, granola etc. With drinks there is no menu or price detail in the buffet area but walk past reception into the restaurant and you will find one on the table. There was confusing over how to pay for drinks but we found in the restaurant where we went after dinner most evenings you paid each time. No swimming pool at the time I visited which was a shame

We had a good time in Van der Valk Hotel. Room was very large, so does the double bed and the bathroom. Particulary appreciated the huge shower. Pretty clean and accepting dogs. Also enjoyed the private parking.
