The review is late in coming, as I stayed Summer of 2017…read more That being said, this was a fine choice for lodging in Eindhoven. Great location in Centrum, close to train station/bus station, and with adequate rooms. I had issues with the climate control in my suite, but it was unusually warm in Eindhoven the week I was there (35 celsius), so that could have been a factor. It did make it difficult to sleep. The staff offered to move me to another room, but I did decline, so I can't fault them for their response. The only reason I would take off a star would be for the refrigerator, which did not cool anything (and was fully stocked with minibar items). Traveling for business, I needed some storage for my own items. Also, the WiFi became woefully inadequate on the weekend when the hotel became more full. The breakfast was nothing to write home about, I certainly wouldn't pay for it separately (I think it was 18 euros, maybe). It was included in my room, so it was fine. The staff were all very polite and kind, I appreciated their help and assistance. Overall, I would be ok with staying here again.

I was warmly greeted and the check-in clerk explained the hotel features before I headed upstairs for a well deserved nap. The room is clean, modern and comfortable. Very nice bed, good work desk with plenty of outlets, mini fridge, Nespresso coffee service and lots of space for putting things away. There's a large screen television that I never used. Wifi worked well. I don't quite understand the shower setup. Why is there glass between the shower and the sleeping area? And why do Europeans love leaving half of the glass off their showers? Very quiet room. I did not hear any slamming doors or noise from other guests. I would choose this hotel for my next stay in Eindhoven. [Review 21273 overall - 78 in Netherlands - 238 of 2024.]

Spent 7 nights while using Eindhoven as base camp to visit local family, Maastricht, Amsterdam, Den Bosch and Antwerp. Street side rooms (incl. #105) can get a bit noisy on weekend nights but we still slept soundly. If you are a light sleeper ask for an off-street room (incl. #219). Towels were a bit stiff but apparently they are from recycled fibers so we chalked that one up to taking one for the (global) team. :) We will definitely stay at Lumiere again!

Stef at the front desk was top tier and demonstrated that he embraces guest satisfaction with every customer. The executive suite we occupied was worth it for the extra luxury. We dined at the restaurant where I had the best omelette prepared by the chef...delectable 20/10. The bartenders were fun to interact with and tried really hard to offer options for the items we wanted that were not in stock. When in Eindhoven make this your hotel of choice.

It's about a 10 minute walk from the train station to the Holiday Inn. The lobby is very modern looking with a bar and restaurant inside. I got to the hotel Sunday afternoon after a long 15 hour travel time. The staff was very friendly and helpful which was really good after all my traveling. The room was really nice and big. Comfortable king size bed with four pillows and they had soft and firm pillows for their guest. Nice big desk for working and free wifi. Wifi was really good in the morning but got a lot weaker at night. As for the bathroom. It was fairly big but there was a problem with the shower. It was a little sunken so the water could gather and the go down the drain. So you had to be very careful on how much water you use during your shower so the shower wouldn't overflow. Drain was very slow but worked. I think they did this on purpose to help control your water usage. My room overlooked the train station and city central. So the hotel was very close to the mall and city central where all the restaurants were. Very convenient for after work. Only problem is shops close at 5pm so we never got to shop. Just eat. Hahaha We had a free breakfast at the hotel and it was a really good with potatoes, tomatoes, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, danish, croissants, breads, fresh fruit and of course juices and coffee. Not a bad spread every morning. It was really nice. Enjoyed my stay. Very convenient but it seemed everyone staying here were business people. One warning. If you want a bike to ride then it's $17 euros a day. You need to order ahead of time cause they have limited supply of bikes. I wouldn't mind staying here again for my business trip. Enjoy.

Good hotel near the city center. I like the scent of lobby area, smells fresh and comforting. The…read moreroom is pretty large with king size bed, long working/computer desk, Nespresso machine with lots of capsules to stay up all night, and nice tea. Breakfast was OK, all you can eat style, same items everyday except 1. Love the fresh baked croissants. I used the high table in the lobby/bar area to work during the day. Jazz music playing all around and the bar ladies stopped by to check on my tea and cappuccino. The only reason it is not 5 stars is because of limited parking. I had to park in Heuvel Gallery because lot was full. It cost me €14!

Very poor service. Never again!

An ok experience. I was going to give this hotel a 1 or 2 that is until I had the breakfast!!…read more The place is pretty average and really in the middle of nowhere, you would need to drive to get anywhere from here. I stayed here because I had to work at a data center right down the road. The restaurant was ok for dinner but if you have the option to drive somewhere else, I would opt for that. The room itself did not have any climate control whatsoever, I found that to be a bit strange, otherwise the room was ok and clean, the pillows were not so comfortable though. My biggest complaint is the Internet connection was terrible. I was able to connect to the network ok but the speed was really really bad, we are talking 5 minutes to load a basic news page, no joke. Basically it was unusable and for me a hotel with no WiFi, bad WiFi, or pay WiFi is a deal breaker, period. The next morning though... wow, I have never seen a breakfast in a hotel of this level to be so nice. Man! The selection and quality was incredible. I stacked my plate sky high, there was so much to try. Really, if they could get their act together with the Internet then I would give them a much higher rating, that breakfast was bomb!

We ordered a "uitsmijter" which is basically 3 fried eggs with ham and cheese on sliced bread. It was okay, needed a lot of salt. My table mate had a sandwich "gezond": a bun with chopped egg/cucumber/tomato/bell pepper in a light dressing. It was honestly the most pathetic little bit of "salad" possible, possibly two big bites? And it was 13 euros (about $14) which was severely overpriced. All in all, a big disappointment. The terrace is overlooking a plaza which reeked of urine (possibly because there was a big party there the day before... but still)

The food in the restaurant is really quite nice. (sushi down the street at the Van Der Valk Hotel is amazing, but the Novotel food is a much better value for money). I like the Novotel for a silly reason. I often pack a PlayStation PS4 when I travel. The network at the Novotel is wired, fast, and the TV has a no-fuss HDMI connection. I can hook up my PS4 and play games in no time at all. The network at the VDV hotel is literally unplayable for games, even though it's acceptable for basic web browsing. The rest of this Novotel lives up to what you expect from a Novotel hotel: clean, functional, polite, reliable. Seriously though: the food is good. I've stayed in a bunch of hotels in the area, and this one is the one I keep coming back to.
