Bilderberg Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were in for one night for a layover. Stayed in the executive room and it was spacious and comfortable. Some cosmetic repairs would be needed, but it didn’t detract from our experience. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were good height, medium firm. Breakfast was plentiful and I really enjoyed the fresh orange juice. The girl helping with the digital check-in counter also called a restaurant for us to see if they have openings, she was super nice! The area is a walking/biking distance from the central area and tucked away on a quiet street."
