Staying at the Efteling Hotel was an enchanting experience! The themed rooms, especially the Hans Christian Andersen Suite, offered fantastic comfort and creativity. I loved the early park access, as it allowed us to enjoy the rides with minimal wait. However, some aspects like the dated bathroom and limited breakfast timing detracted from the overall experience. But the imaginative design and engaging activities for kids truly made our stay magical.
