We had chosen the "Hotel du Sud" for a one night stay due to a one day trip to Bastogne on our way to Brussels.
The house seems to be run by the family which members had been very friendly and welcome.
When being led to our room we had climbed a pretty old, rambling stairway. The key to our room had been a simple bearded key - no bits and pieces - and so had been the room itself.
It had been paltry furnished and only offered a bed with two nightcases, a highly hung up old TV and a rickety wardrobe. Due to the high walls the room had looked even poorer and only the bathroom could improve our impression.
Unfortunately the room hadn't been quite, too since the Rue de Marche passes the hotel which brings the noise of traffic right into your room.
Also adventurous had been our breakfast. We had shared the cramped room with two other visitors and had our eyes wander over all the collectibles along the walls which had reached from granade shells to porcellaine stuff. Behind us a big 46" inch flat TV had filled one wall and had looked so unreal in this atmosphere.
Breakfast itself had contained two rolls and croissants, coffee, egg and marmelade and so had been average.
To be honest: although the people had really been nice and friendly, the next time we might visit Bastogne we will look out for another place to stay. read more
