Van der Valk Hotel Uden Veghel

I love the consistency of this hotel. Efficient check in, clean, comfortable rooms with consistently working A/C. Staff of check in were delightful and super helpful with a query. Restaurant staff whilst friendly were not as efficient/effective as check in. Good choice of non-alcohol drinks (beyond sodas) which was a pleasant surprise. Location is great for my (work) needs, but otherwise seemingly a little random. Haven’t explored the area but feels quite remote so beyond not eating in the hotel not sure where you can go that’s close.

Nice and affordable hotel in Uden. Rooms are a great size for short trips. Bed was very comfortable. You can rent a bike. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and does not disappoint. There is also a cafe/bar to hang out in. We also had a drink in the Skybar which is lovely. Would stay again.

UPDATE 10/13/23 - The hotel bent over backwards, in my opinion, to refund the overpaid amount. As such, I'm upgrading the service from 2* to 5*, and my overall rating to 4*. I would stay here again, but hopefully if I have a faster method of transport. Initial review - Booked 7 nights and paid upon checking in, but work ended a day early and I checked out. The clerk stated that the overpayment would be credited to my card, but 2.5 weeks later, there has been no refund or any response to email communication. I’ll have to dispute this with my credit card company and they’ll likely lose all credit for this stay, not just the one night of unused time. Since they’re supposedly transitioning to an immigrant housing facility, they’re probably in need of funding which shouldn’t be my problem. Overall, the room was nice but the elevator was out of order the entire time. The rooftop bar was closed. Being located on the edge of the town, it’s not convenient to the city center without a car or walking about 30 minutes.
