The City Hotel in Tilburg is located smack in the middle of town. It is by the central square with easy access to shops and restaurants. It is not very far from the train station either so for Tilburg this as good as it gets with regards to location.
From the outside the hotel looks dull and boring. The feeling is the same in the lobby that has definitely seen better days.The rooms do however have a slightly more modern feel with fairly sleek furniture in dark wood. There is also a flat screen TV and the bathroom is also very fresh and appears new.
There are however a few things which still has a budget feel to it. One such thing is the lack of a/c in the rooms. In winter time it was ok but in summer the small fan in the room is probably not sufficient. The soap and shampoo provided felt very cheap and poor quality so suggest bringing your own. Very positive was however the fact that it was possible to get really hot water with good water pressure.
A very annoying thing was the fact that they charge €16 for use of the Internet for one day. It is outrageously expensive for something that nowadays should be included without cost.
The breakfast at the hotel was fairly simple and not a great selection but still better than expected at such a small hotel. There was a range of some bread,yogurt and egg and bacon as well as coffee/tea and some juice. read more
