The stay at this hotel was far from ideal. While the room was a decent size, it was not clean, with leftover food and a dirty shower curtain. On a positive note, the Wi-Fi worked well and the sound isolation was decent. However, the overall cleanliness and management issues overshadowed any benefits, making it hard to recommend this place without a compelling reason to stay.

The hotel had a convenient location with easy access to highways, making travel around Belgium a breeze. The room and bathroom exceeded my expectations in size and comfort. However, I encountered significant issues with my room setup and the staff seemed more interested in socializing than assisting guests. Overall, it offered good value for money but could improve on service.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was convenient for our trip to nearby cities, and my room was clean, warm, and comfortable.

This hotel has some redeeming qualities, like its proximity to highways and a friendly staff, but the overall experience was marred by cleanliness issues and mismanaged service.
