Bonheur horeca groep

Das Hotel ist ruhig gelegen und die Angestellten sind bemüht, den Gast herzlich Willkommen zu heißen. Die Nähe zur Universität ist klasse — zu Fuß schafft man es in wenigen Minuten zu allen wichtigen Einrichtungen der Uni.
Die Zimmer sind geräumig und bieten sowohl Platz zum Arbeiten als auch zum Entspannen. Leider wirkt die Möblierung etwas abgenutzt. Das Badezimmer hingegen scheint vor wenigen Jahren renoviert worden zu sein und ist modern ausgestattet.
Positiv fällt zudem der kostenfreie Wifi-​Zugang und das ausgewogene Frühstück auf.
Insgesamt ein schönes Hotel und angenehmem Service, aber auch kein Premium-​Hotel.

The stay there is totally worth it if you are visiting Tilburg University. Studio rooms are really nice, and within walking distance (5 mins) to the university, through a nice safe road adjacent to the woods. They even rent bicycles to use if you want to get around the city. The restaurant has really nice, modern food, and the atmosphere is also nice, with a fire-​pace and terrace luring in the background.
But the RESTAURANT’s service is like a lot of places in Tilburg, really SLOW! You may assume, according probably to some of the Dutch culture, that one wants to take their time with friends. But given that at least half of the target audience are academic professionals, jetlagged and traveling from miles away, and yearning for at least some self time and sleep, why would you intentionally prolong their dinner to 3 ½– 4 ½ hours? I think service should be faster, and the same quality.
I always dread to go there for dinner just for the shear amount of time it takes, even if I enjoy very much the company! Given the target customers, a faster serving model (and reasonable in most of other countries 2 — 2 ¹⁄₅ hours) would be much better, and the waiters should pay more attention to everyone calling them, rather than serve one customer at a time and turning a blind eye on the rest. This is a restaurant review, the place you are staying is guaranteed nice and welcoming!

The main reason to stay at Auberge du Bonheur is probably the quiet location, close to the woods (and the University). The hotel itself is nothing special, the rooms are rather standard but no complaints. They do try their best to make the rooms and the hotel get an old-​fashioned feel but it is apparent that the hotel is pretty newly built.
The rooms have plenty of room to sit down and work and there are also few extra chairs in the room. There is also flat screen TV and free wireless internet which is of course nice. The negative was the small and rather uncomfortable beds. I did not particularly like the design style but that is more a matter of taste (I am more of fan of modern, simple design).
The hotel is located a bit outside Tilburg so a car is preferable to get to/​from the hotel. I would however recommend renting a bicycle at the hotel to go exploring the surrounding area — it is not that far by bike to the downtown area were there are plenty of bars, restaurants etc. The hotel also has a good restaurant (a bit pricey) and there is a nice terrace where it is possible to sit down and enjoy a drink.
Breakfast is standard and nothing special. A bit slow service as some others have noted, not a problem unless one is in a hurry (which I unfortunately often am during weekdays).
The rates during summer (and also the part of winter when University students are off) are very good. The rest of the year it is a bit more expensive so not really worth it (and the hotel is at its best during summer).
