...Tilburg received its city rights by Napoleon’s brother, when it was a mere street or two, unpaved, a few farms… Now, Tilburg is a blooming city with a few shopping centres, a variety of hotels and motels, and a city centre where the highstreets provides you with a diversity of shops. Public transport is extremely well organised, and a lot of the buildings, -including the modest palace built and designed by King William of Orange the second- have remained intact and are combined with more modern housing and stores. It doesn’t take too long to get to the countryside, to visit the Trappisten monastery, which provides guided tours, or just to ride a bicycle around the countryside.

Why are we there?

...The Bastion Amstel Deluxe Hotel was the final leg of an exhausting journey around the Netherlands visiting a range of Universities, and was to be our final stop for two nights before the onward journey with the KLM “I believe I am a racing driver” Pilots.
Bastion is a Dutch chain which currently has 28 hotels across the Netherlands and one in Germany.
Arrival at the hotel quickly established that we were in the middle of nowhere, save for a petrol station next door, situated on a business site with an apparent direct metro connection to Centraal Station close by (actually about 15 minutes walk).
CHECK-IN
Nightmare – 16 people all arriving in one go – reception refused to check for individual names but insisted that we would all crowd around and wait for our names to be called out – not a service you would expect from a 4* deluxe hotel...
