The Golden Tulip in Oosterhout is a pretty standard hotel. Staying here for the first time there was little that surprised me. The front desk staff were very friendly and all the other staff I interacted with as well. The hotel itself is a pretty dull building and the rooms are nothing to write home about. Furniture is rather modern but I would have preferred a more modern TV although free Internet is a welcome bonus. The bathroom is nice with a bath tub and everything appears to be rather new. The hotel provides the standard soap, shampoo etc but I really appreciated the shoe shine that was also provided. I did however miss a water kettle(I like to make my own coffee and the fact that there is no iron is minus). The hotel has a decent breakfast buffet but could use more options for hot food. The restaurant serves some pretty good food at night but it is a little bit expensive(as often is the case in hotels frequented by business travelers). Location is difficult to discuss here since it all depends on what you wish to be close to. Oosterhout itself does not really have that many sights but it is pretty central location and it was rather close to my destination. To summarize some good parts but also some parts that are not really up to the expected level which brings down the overall rating.
