About this place Hotel Ernst Sillem Hoeve

Hotel Ernst Sillem Hoeve is a hotel and meeting venue on a large wooded estate on the Soestdijkerweg in Den Dolder, between Zeist and Soest in the province of Utrecht. A lot of its business is conferences and training, but it also takes leisure guests looking for a quiet stay in the woods. It's a mainstream gay-friendly hotel, not a gay venue. Facilities include a pool and sauna, and reviewers praise the breakfast. Some note that rooms have no air conditioning, which matters in a hot summer. Google rates it 4.4 from about 1,000 reviews. You'll want a car or a bike here. Utrecht, with the nearest gay bars, is about 20 minutes away.

Very nice hotel in the middle of the woods with a lovely outside area with seats, a ping pong table and more. The rooms were clean and nicely renovated. I am not a fan of carpet floors but that is a personal thing. The breakfast was fresh and reasonable for the price, a lot of things to choose from and I did not find something bad. There are 10x chargings stations outside and the full parking area is completely shaded by huge old trees. Very good for the hot summers we will see soon... Very nice experience, would get back here.

Quiet overnight stay with my son for his 9th birthday. A small gift with a handwritten card in the room was a lovely surprise for him. We made good use of the pool and sauna. Breakfast was very extensive and delicious. Green surroundings to unwind.

Another week for seniors to experience socializing, pampering, and relaxation.

Very nice as a meeting location! Didn't sleep or eat there, so I have no impression of that.

Very beautiful green location. Nice meeting rooms. Good and extensive food. We stayed when the temperature was high; due to the lack of air conditioning, the nights were unbearable.

We stayed one night at Hotel Ernst Sillem Hoeve in connection with the Tom Jones concert on July 6, 2026, in the gardens of Soestdijk Palace. The hotel's location is fantastic, wonderfully quiet on a huge estate. It is great for cycling. All the staff are incredibly friendly. While driving back from the concert, we passed a girl from reception who was going home and cheerfully called out, "How was the concert?" The breakfast is very extensive and fresh. After the concert, the bar was kept open until 1:00 AM for drinks and chatting; super service! Another nice feature is that delicious fresh coffee, tea, and water with cookies can be had from breakfast until 5:00 PM at no extra cost. Our room was not large but very clean. When it is hot, you do miss the air conditioning because it is not present, but that is the only downside we can think of. It is not a hotel exclusively for holidaymakers. Training sessions and conferences are also held there. There are even separate parking spaces for the trainers. There are, however, more than enough parking spaces for cars and bicycles. I can highly recommend this hotel.
