Auberge Du Bonheur

Location is good, staffs are friendly and the dinner is also nice at the restaurant. Would be nice if the artificial flowers on the table can be removed and the variety of breakfast can be improved.

Very clean and cosy room, room serviced each day. Staff always happy and helpful. Restaurant staff could be more engaging but generally all were pleasantly. We had dinner on Friday night and it took over 2hrs to complete- which we thought was quite a long time for 2 mains and 1 dessert and 1 coffee.

A lovely little Hotel on the West side of Tilburg surrounded by woods. Nice breakfasts. Room is good with a safe and coffee machine. Bus stop nearby to get to the centre of Tilburg. Reception staff are excellent and you also buy drinks there and seating to sit comfortably.

We had a lovely celebration of our 25th anniversary with our dear friends. The dinner was joyfully, as well as all staff was great. We enjoyed their service of which it was clear that they really love the work they do. Thank you for this wonderful experience. We will return for more.

We had a nice stay and the Auberge Du Bonheur is a good choice for a long weekend in Tilburg. Location next to the University and just off a beautiful forrest is great. The rooms are clean and comfortable but could benefit from a refresh at some point. Breakfast and staff outstanding.

Nice environment, good restaurant, customer service very good. Room needs artificial light to have enough light, so a bit dark. shower in the bath tub requires the step into the tub.

Lovely hotel. Perfect for where we wanted to go. However a wee bit out from Tilburg if you are planning to be in Tilburg but you can still easily get there. Food excellent staff really lovely and vey helpful

Five nights in very comfortable and generously proportioned rooms. Both the bathroom and bedroom were spotlessly clean. Breakfast was fine. |I wil definitely stay here again, for the quiet and comfortable night.|I think it was just a bit missing personal or attractive touches. For example: Lovely that I could make coffee but a small paper cup? It’s all just a bit eighties dark.

I was supposed to celebrate my birthday at Auberge du bonheur and booked a quiet room because I unfortunately suffer from severe migraines. I suffer from cluster migraines and brainstem aura migraines. Such a severe pain that paracetamol doesn't help. I have to take heavy pain medication. The room was on the ground floor by the reception and anything was but quiet. I already missed my birthday dinner, which they could have offered in the room, especially for my friend who should eat too. But nothing was offered or suggested. We were on our own. The noise at night was so bad that on Christmas Day I missed my day at the fairytale park the Efteling. At 9:00 we were supposed to talk to the manager to discuss our horrible experience at the hotel and all the noice that kept me awake all night and vomiting from the migraine nausea. Not only my birthday was already ruined, now my day at the Efteling was gone too. I took my migraine medicine at 9:00, because it is of extreme importance to sleep ASAP. At 12:00 we still were waiting for the manager. My migraine grew out to a brainstem migraine where I get a transient TIA and lose consciousness. I fell 3 times as I was trying to walk to the reception to see the manager. I was bleeding by this time. Instead of showing compassion and empathy I was threatened to be thrown out of the hotel and have the police called. The manager was not even the manager but a chef. A very rude chef, the least to say, and what a horrible thing to pretend you are the manager of the hotel. The manager was apparently not there, or refused to come. On their website this room was advertised as a quiet and a peaceful room. It was quite the opposite, noisy all night with voices of quests walking by our room and slamming doors of other rooms. Because of this I had to take double medication, oxycodon and lorazepam to sleep and calm down. My whole Christmas experience was ruined by this. In return I got one night refunded. But I have not been able to verify that. We lost our tickets to the Efteling. And now we are at home, without a Christmas experience, no Christmas dinner, no Efteling Christmas experience. I would suggest this hotel refunds all my cost including the trauma this cost me. Please never go to this hotel if you expect peace, service, politeness and friendliness. Simply stay away!!!!!

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).

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 1/2- 4 1/2 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!
