ホテル デ エコプット(Hotel Restaurant de Echoput)

I visited Hotel de Echoput at the last moment when I realized it was Carnival in other parts of the Netherlands. We were not disappointed! It was in a lovely setting, had wonderful staff, and were very responsive to our needs. My daughter has a lot of allergies and they patiently worked with us. The setting is tranquil and is a great location for walking around. We had dinner at the hotel and it was superb! This is a great break from Amsterdam if wanting to see other parts of the Netherlands. I will visit again!

Excellent hôtel and restaurant. Spacious rooms very well appointed. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice indoors swimming pool. Free parking. The restaurant offers gastronomic dishes. However it closes on Sundays and Mondays, on those days you can only get a sample of their talents. Breakfast is of high quality but limited range. They do not allow checking in before 3PM.

Nice location, friendly staff, spacious room, hygiene also good, breakfast was a bit simple but not bad. What was incredibly disappointing is the air conditioning, which did not work at all. It was sweltering hot in the room. It was impossible to open a window, only a sliding door could open, where everyone could enter through adjacent balconies, not to mention the intense amount of mosquitoes. In addition, the mattress was more like a hammock than anything else: you completely sink into it and gave no support. For that price it should be a lot better!!

The Echoput is located in a National Forrest, across a busy road. Great location to start your bicycle tours, The hotel can store you bicycles. Echoput staff is very friendly. Rooms are spacious and build from high quality materials. But cleaning could be better. Our shower was not dried out the second day and the balcony chairs had a green tarnish making them unable to use. You get only 1 large towel per guest, which is not meeting the experience level they claim. Balconies are large, but only 2 chairs and no table. I am not sure why this hotel claims to be 5 star. According to the classifications a 5 star hotel should have a valet service, a concierge, porter, a personal welcome, which were all not available. We have stayed in many 4 and 5 star hotels across the globe, and only can classify Echoput as a good 4 star hotel. Conclusion: We can recommend The Echoput as a good 4 star hotel.

My husband and I wanted a short one-night getaway. We saw that the hotel was rated 5 stars but we were hesitant to pay a lot of money. In the end, I convinced him that it would be worth it. Unfortunately, I was wrong. While the sheets looked clean. there was sand in the bed and in the bathtub. There was something gross in the sink as well. When we woke up sore from the horrendous mattress, we found a silverfish in the bathtub. The toilet was stained, the wallpaper was dusty, and some of the furniture was chipped. I am sad that I didn't take pictures to share (the ones online do not give a true representation). While there is a nice patio to enjoy a drink, it is so close to the main road that you cannot truly relax because of the noise from the traffic. The staff at the hotel, however, were very friendly. We also did not eat here so I cannot say if the food was good. Unless the hotel does something about the 5 stars and overall price, I would avoid it and save your money.

Early last year I booked 7 hotels for a European trip in the early summer 2020 on a pre-paid basis. When all the Covid restrictions came into force, 6 of them very kindly refunded my payments. Guess which one refused to pay me? At the time of booking Hotel De Echoput for 2 nights, I also prepaid for 2 nights dinners and 2 breakfasts for my wife and I. This alone was for the not inconsiderable sum of over €300. This payment was not covered by any 'no refund' clause. Since then, emails have gone back and forth. As expected, vouchers were offered which were for a very short time and soon expired. Eventually, after around a year of communications, I was grudgingly offered a repayment for the meals. Then it started ..... • Can't find the original payment - can I send them details of my credit card payment. • Can I send them an IBAN international banking number for payment. • After a month of no payment - sorry, Our bank can't find your account. • After sending all bank details again, silence (and no payment) for six weeks to date. Whatever happened to common decency and honesty? Their emails end with 'Warm Regards'. Yeah, Right. Enjoy my money for which you have given me nothing in return.

It was a lovely stay

Het verblijf was prima. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding alleen niet in orde. Je betaald erg veel voor wat het is. Extra versiering betaald voor €32,50 vanwege verjaardag. Er werd 1 slinger opgehangen, 6 opgeblazen kleine ballonnen lagen op bed, papieren serpentines en een doosje met 6 bonbons. Het zag er niet uit. Ik werd met €20 gecompenseerd. Ook staat er dat het zwembad verwarmd is, het voelde erg koud aan! Wees je hiervan bewust. Jongen achter de receptie wel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Verder was de kamer schoon. Omgeving is mooi!

Zeer matige ervaring. Het restaurant was versierd met uitgedroogde, dode klimop. Het eten was erg slecht. Ieder gerecht leek opgewarmd, te zout, slordig, liefdeloos. Bediening aardig maar slordig. Eindeloos wachten tussen gangen en heel lang met vieze borden voor onze neus gezeten. Hotel was oke maar zowel voor het hotel maar vooral het restaurant is de prijs kwaliteit verhouding hier volledig zoek. Echt zonde. Ik hoop dat ze de boel weer onder controle krijgen. Andere chef aannemen zou de eerste prioriteit moeten zijn, helaas.
