Detailed Reviews
We were on our road trip in the Benelux region and our stay here was at Christmas eve. While there were probably only a few rooms occupied, the staff did a great job in providing the essential service. We had the dinner in the hotel since everywhere were closed.
Although not centrally located, it has a free car park which can easily compensate the inconvenience. The interior is typically Novotel.

The main advantages of this hotel are:
- Close proximity to the airport (in case you need an overnight stay before or after a flight)
-Big garden with playground and small outdoor pool
-Reasonably priced parking
Otherwise this hotel is rather average. Rooms are rather plain and small but have all you need. Breakfast buffet was comprehensive and what you would expect for this type of hotel. Mattress of the bed was quite hard.
For a city trip to explore Eindhoven center a more centrally located hotel is better suited.

Dear FerrisXL, Thank you for taking the time to your share your positive experience! I am glad to see you enjoyed our location and our unique garden with swimming pool close to the city centre. Our hotel is also great to reach by car, where most of our guest experience a short drive to the city centre. When you come to our hotel without car it is always possible to rent a bike for a 15 minutes cycling trip to the city centre, or take one of the Go Scooters for an even shorter trip to the centre. Thank you for your good feedback and looking forward welcoming you back to our hotel. Kind regards, Team Novotel Eindhoven

Good hotel, with comfortable rooms, a small but nice lobby and a mini play outdoor area for kids. Rooms are quite comfortable, but probably not as well furnished as a 'Novotel' - they are closer to an Ibis in terms of furnishing. Good quality of sleep.
Parking has cameras and is reasonably priced.
Staff was good too.
One thing to note before coming here is that this hotel is not walking distance from any shop or restaurant. You have to walk a long time or take a taxi or a car to get anywhere. The hotel has an in-house restaurant that we didn't try. We did order pizza from the nearby NYC Pizza outlet that came in hot and was far more reasonable than the prices at the restaurant.
Overall, would recommend staying at this hotel based on my experience.

Dear Varun, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. It is gratifying to know that you found our rooms comfortable and our lobby welcoming, albeit small. We are also thrilled that the outdoor play area added enjoyment to your stay, particularly if you were travelling with children. While we are glad that you recognized the security and value of our parking facilities, we regret to hear that our location's distance from local shops and restaurants was not as convenient as you might have wished. For future visits, please consider our shuttle service, which can facilitate access to nearby amenities, or perhaps give our in-house restaurant a chance to impress you with its diverse and balanced menu. Your acknowledgement of our staff's good service and the overall recommendation to stay at Novotel Eindhoven are genuinely appreciated. Our team takes great pride in providing a pleasant experience and restful sleep to all our guests. We are looking forward to welcoming you again. With warm regards, Jan Valkenburg, Front office Manager

I was there in Autumn, so I can't tell about the outdoor pool, which only operates during summer.
This is a standard Novotel, no thrills at all. You do not even get a bottle of water any more these days in these Novotels.
What I like about the room layout, is the second door inside the room, which isolates the actual sleeping area from the bathroom/toilet area, which is good because you can't hear the people walking in the corridor. From a noise perspective, you should ask for a room facing the back of the hotel (pool side) which are quieter than the rooms facing the main road. What is not so good is the door between the rooms, so that I could clearly hear which football match my neighbor was watching.
What concerns me is the cleaning. It seems to be random. One day, it was properly done, I even had 4 bath towels to chose from. The next day they just left 1 bath tower, and did not even care to refill the kleenex box. Even the toilet paper roll had been left untouched, which makes me think that they did not even clean the toilet.
One other day, the cleaning staff started cleaning the room at 5.30pm, while I was back from a days work, and was having a conference call in my room. I almost got yelled at by the cleaning lady, complaining to me in dutch that they are not enough cleaning ladies to do the whole hotel in time. They even almost kicked me out to clean up the room. I had to insist to get my trash can emptied. It was not a good experience.
Breakfast is OK'ish, until you see the chef refilling the sausages from a big plastic bag in which they obviously warm the sausages in.
Reception was nice.
Location, it takes about 20-25 min to get to the city center, costs 30-40EUR by Taxi 1 way. Average wait time for a taxi is 10-15 minutes, which is all right.
I hear it is walking distance (10 min) from the airport, which can be convenient.

This was a terrible stay. Extremely uncomfortable as the staff has very little to no experience especially the manager Jan Valkenburg.
At the check in we were told that the dog wasn't booked in and that there might not be an available room for us. I was 100% sure that the dog was booked and I showed them a booking confirmation from their website that states the dog was booked and payed After that the receptionist started to try convince me that there was no dog booked in their system ( clear lie ).
The worst nightmare was the next day when the cleaning staff started entering the room without knocking or permission when I was asleep. After they entred the room twice. I had no idea what was going on. They scared my children.
After a few minutes the psycho manager shows up extremely loudly banding on my door. After my child opened the door. In a rude manner started saying there is a smell coming from the room. After he entered the room without permission I explained that it was not coming from our room and I was asleep so I asked him to leave and close the door.
At the checkout I expressed my opinion in a respectful manner but the lady at the reception again in a rude way said they can enter the room whenever they want and she left without listening to me until the end.
After leaving the hotel they charged me €50 extra for allegity leaving a dirty room. Which we absolutely didn't.
Overall our stay was very uncomfortable and we had to deal with very unexperienced staff and looking at other feedbacks the only experience they've got is rudeness.
I wish them to improve a lot as they need it badly.

Responded Dec 20, 2022
Dear Paul, Thank you for taking your time to express your stay in such great detail. I will use this opportunity to explain what we tried before, but you were not able to listen to. Unfortunately your review does not meet the truth. Dogs can never be reserved through any website. You can let us know you are bringing a dog, but this was not done with your reservation. We knocked on the door, since there was a smell of smoking near your room. Since this is not allowed in the hotel we wanted to address this issue with you. After you responded in a way which is very unacceptable I was called to take over. I gently knocked on your door and try to address the same issue, but you were still not able to respond in any acceptable manor. You and your family were clearly awake when I came to the room at 11:15, since you had to check-out at 12:00 hours. I did not even try to enter the room at all. After you checked out we checked the room and I send you the pictures to show you how you left the room. I hope you do not always leave your room like that. Our housekeeping needed double the usual time to get your the room ready for the next guests. This is why I was forced to charge these costs. Kind regards, Jan Valkenburg Front Office Manager

Flying out early is made easy by staying at the Novotel Eindhoven. Car park available at reasonable rates. Eight minute taxi ride to the airport from the hotel. Staff is very accommodating and room is comfortable. Our dinner there was exceptional - fresh poke bowl with salmon. Generous servings. Room was comfortable without noise. For an overnighter it is recommended.

The hotel is within walking distance to Eindhoven Airport. Dinner was delicious. However, the service at restaurant was quite slow. No one came to take my empty dishes away for some time and I had to wait for more than 30 minutes for ice cream. The waiting was far too long and in the end I decided to cancel it. I am not sure whether the slow service was due to staff shortage or lack of training. If would be much nicer if the hotel can speed up things a bit.

Dear Sean1006, Thank you for your stay at Novotel Eindhoven and good to read you enjoyed our locatino close to Eindhoven Airport. At the moment there is shortage on staff unfortunately and we are doing everything we can to attract new staff. Our new colleagues are learning as fast as they can and we are training as much as possible at the moment. I am sorry this resulted in a long waiting time in our restaurant. Since we have quite a few new collleagues I am sure the waiting time will shorten soon and we hope to welcome you back and you can enjoy our restaurant on the level you can expect from us.

We spent two nights at this hotel in August. Three adults and two children. The rooms are standard novotel with a mini bar that doubles as a fridge.
The kids received a toy at check-in and further treats at dinner in the restaurant. The staff were excellent with a special metion to Roger who arranged a treat for my four year old daughter who had her birthday whilst at the hotel.
The resturant and bar had a nice atmosphere with a childrens play area to occupy the kids.
We visited the Efteling theme park which was about a 30 minute drive. We purchased the tickets from the hotel. The hotel is located close to a motor way and airport but we were not affected by any excess noise. There is nothing within walking distance so you do need a car. The city centre is about 10- 15 minutes by car with a nice shopping mall and square with bars and restuarants. It is modern and not that attractive.
Overall a very pleasant stay at this hotel and if I was travelling this way again I would stay again. Top maks to the staff!!

Cannot help as we were travelling by car. Just ring the hotel I am sure they will answer all your questions.
No. Not really. The hotel has a restaurant and it's reasonably priced and the food isn't bad.
Hi taxi from airport is about 10€ it is a long walk into the town centre but there is a bus or reception will book a taxi. There are no shops within walking distance but the hotel does good food and is reasonably priced, enjoy your stay
No bus that I saw - it is a taxi ride - not walking distance.
Yes we do, kind regards
