Hotel Wilhelmina

The hotel was fine for a one night stopover on our way back from a long drive to get to the ports and home. The member of staff who dealt with us on arrival at almost midnight was excellent.

We chose the hotel as it is so close to Venlo station as we were leaving early in the morning and returning a few days later late at night (very late as it turned out). Breakfast was made up for us to take to the train as we ordered it the night before at check-in. Not sure if there was a limit on that but we were asked how many rolls/sandwiches we would like, the type of bread, which included fruit loaf, the filling and spread if needed. We also had fruit and a bottle of juice. Staff were friendly on reception and the kitchen staff who made our breakfast up. Room was adequate with nice view to the railway station. Bathroom was adequate with shower and towels and was clean. Short walk to town centre which was the other side of the roundabout. Town looked very nice but did not have much time to explore as we arrived in the evening so need to spend more time in Venlo itself.

Nothing really as everything was fine for this one night stay.

Liked seeing the bed after a long (very long) day of travel. My husband and I were due to arrive in Venlo at 10.50 pm but thanks to train delays in other parts of Europe were arrived at 1.45 a.m.! I was dreading nobody being around but thankfully lights were still on and we pressed the doorbell and were let it. The chap was the same one who had done our breakfast package for our early start on the 19th July. Another chap was sitting at a table and said my name straight away which impressed me as he obviously knew who they were expecting. The bathroom was fine with towels and toiletries and breakfast was really good with different cold meats, hot food, various types of bread with a toaster, yoghurts and fresh fruit. Very close to the station which is why we chose this hotel as we were due in at 10.50 but as it turned out we had to arrive by taxi 3 hours later.

Room was very hot when we arrived although it faced onto a back yard and sun would have been shining on the window in the morning but was still very warm at night. Maybe the curtains could have been closed. There was a small fan in the room which we turned on straight away and it helped a little but I could not get the fan to turn. Did get to sleep though but woke throughout the night. The floorboards were very creaky past the bed so hated going to the bathroom or over to the desk/table as I was very aware of the time and hated to think anybody was being disturbed. We were on the first floor so not sure if it was just the bar below us.
