    Pros +

    • Great location and good setup up. Fab restaurant on site
    • Great concept for a stop off on route to the South. Very convenient off the motorway, easy self check in and friendly, helpful staff. We didn’t get to use the spa but maybe next time.
    • Really nice big room. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed.

    Cons -

    • Fan rather than air on but only an issue if super hot
    • Forgot to check before we booked and the room had no air conditioning, only a ceiling fan. Location is a bit out of the way

    Location (very close to riding competition), pleasant room

    Lack of compromise and understanding from staff - to allow for a later check out regardless of the fact we needed to leave extra earlier due to my daughters competition

    Convenient location. Good value for money

    Pebble path is not handy with a suitcase

    7AndreeaPosted on: 2-26-2023

    Warm room considering it was very cold outside and we were with two small and very small kids

    The property insisted on giving the card details by email/witten message since we did not syncronize with the reception opening hours and booking already opened the process of charging the money. I now realize and appreciate the fact that booking hides banking card details in private messages with the property.

    Located in the industrial parc, confortabe room, good restaurant for breakfast and dinner. The head shower was very nice!

    The disposable cup for the hot water (tea) was small but this was a minor thing.

    Bathroom was nice, returning to a cooled down room in a hot day was also nice. We liked the story, BIO and sustainability and stuff. Not your typical tourist hotel. It seems to aim at (office) werkers from the companies on the site.

    The hotel is situated in a busy industrial complex, trucks and cars driving (racing) by all night. Window needed to be open, because the ventilation system was shut off at night, and we’d like to have some fresh air. Good earplugs are advised.We didn’t meet much staf, every communication went online, the cleaninglady was nice though.Everything, like supermarket was at a 15 minute drive.

    peaceful environment, clean rooms and facilities, great breakfast buffet. Our special requests for room and parking were made possible.

    Although we arrived within the specified time, the reception was unmanned.

    8WendyPosted on: 7-20-2022

    Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good.

    Location was a bit soulless and we had trouble finding somewhere to eat close by at the weekend.

    The hotel manager was very nice and accommodating. They keys are left in a coded box, so you can check in after closing time. This was very convenient. Some of the rooms have mini refrigerators, which is also very convenient. There is a fast charger for electric vehicles 5 minutes away.

    The hotel is located in an industrial zone, with not much around. There were only two outlets in the room, one for the refrigerator and one was by the sink. This was quite annoying I had to get an extension cord in order to be able to charge two cell phones at once, and I had to get a long one so I could have my phone near my bed for easy access to the alarm. The room was hot, with wooden paneling, and there was no air conditioning. Although there was a ceiling fan above the bed, which helped somewhat, a stay in the heat of summer might be unfomfortable. The breakfast is only served at 8:00, which can be late for some with things to do during the day. There is no door to the shower/sink area, so if one needs to shower while the other is still trying to sleep, it is disruptive.

    We stayed overnight on the way to our ski vacation. Late arrival was no problem, keys were ready in a box. Room clean and comfy, Check-out fast and friendly. recommend bakery Maison Bessard for an excellent breakfast.
