The Yard hotel Noordkade

Supervriendelijk, goede service

We visited Veghel to attend a wedding anniversary and were looking for a hotel to spend the night in after the celebrations. The Yard Hotel was an obvious choice for us, as it was within walking distance of the venue. Although the price per night made us hesitate (we needed three rooms for six people), we decided to book anyway because there is only a limited choice of hotels in a place like Veghel. The overall ambience of the hotel is perfectly fine. As one person had limited mobility, we asked to be given at least one room close to a lift or on the ground floor. And this was arranged very well. The ‘cosy’ rooms we’d booked really do feel ‘cosy’ – they aren’t spacious but are neatly equipped (as per the website), although there isn’t a place to sit together. You have to use the bed for that. Attractive bar and restaurant area. This is also where we enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Not a huge selection, but good quality. All in all, a good choice for the specific reason we’d travelled to Veghel.

Without mentioning specific prices, we do find ourselves wondering more and more often what constitutes a reasonable price for a night’s stay including breakfast. Do some shiny wallpaper and mood lighting in the room really justify charging a few per cent more per night? At the end of the day, the room remains what it is: small. The same goes for breakfast: what are a cup of coffee, a glass of orange juice, a bowl of yoghurt and two slices of bread worth these days? Although our stay was pleasant, this still lingers in the back of our minds. And believe us: we travel a lot and have plenty to compare it with.

Een keurige, nette en schone kamer op een nette lokatie.

Fijne locatie dichtbij een oude industriële locatie waar veel horeca en cultuur te vinden is.

Het douchewater was ijskoud in de ochtend. Toen we dit meldden bij het uitchecken reageerde de dame achter de balie lauwtjes. Ze gaf aan dat het bekend was dat er warmwater waterproblemen waren 'aan die kant'. Dat is echt raar voor zo'n duur hotel.
