What a really nice find in this little town of Tienen, Belgium, only a few minutes off the…read moremotorway. A fairly small boutique hotel but you can see from the smart car welcome to the luscious breakfast it's well worth a visit! The bedrooms, although not massive, are certainly large enough and mine had a really comfortable double bed and was very clean with all the facilities anyone could need. Attached was a clean, well-appointed ensuite shower room with power shower. The receptionists were really friendly and welcoming both upon evening arrival and next morning, attending to breakfast as well. I felt truly spoiled - and will definitely return when business (or pleasure) brings me back to Belgium.

Wine is also awesome and there are plenty of Belgian beers to choose from. There's plenty to do around the grounds, either indoors (attic has games, karaoke, tv, gym, massage chairs) or outdoors, plenty of treks, walks and archery. There's snacks and drinks all over the place, all high quality, and one of he few places in Belgium where there is actually fruit served regularly... Overall good value!

Loved the modern ambiance and the access to restaurants around the hotel. Though the hotel itself…read morehas a restaurant, enjoyed the location of the hotel to the rest of the city. Located close to the city - everything "Brussels" related was just a few blocks away. All of the staff I interacted with were friendly and kind. The room itself was clean and bigger than expected. WiFi was great. Enjoyed the lounge that they had to offer as well. Would recommend.

This is a very cool modern hotel that I enjoyed taking advantage of everything they had to offer…read more Great location within walking distance to all the major attractions of downtown Brussels. It it reasonably priced with a very friendly staff. When you enter this hotel it feels like you are entering a high end club lounge (club music is always playing). It has a very laid back cool young energy vibe......although during the week they are bus loads of retirees visiting for a couple days. Their food is just as good as going to a restaurant downtown (well actually the steak and breakfast buffet was). It is a hip downtown spot so you will see people enjoying the lounge atmosphere but are probably not staying at the hotel. It sort of reminds me of a more reasonable version of the W. I had a great time there.

I wasn't too pleased with this Novotel. It has a convenient location, but it ends there…read more I couldn't check in upon arrival as the Internet was down. Then they charged me a no show fee cause I checked in late. Uhh, wow. The Internet was down again during my first night. I couldn't get my room cool enough at night and had to open my window. It was trade-off of sleeping in a cool room, but also smelling the occasional cigarette and hearing pedestrians. An employee let himself into my room one evening. He just swiped his badge, opened the door and started waking in. I told him to get the F out. " Oh I'm sorry, my mistake" Wow again. Why the heck was he entering if he wasn't sure if the room was occupied?! Knock, moron. He offered me a complimentary drink for the inconvenience of him walking in on me. No thanks. I'd simply rather have privacy. I'll never stay here again.

Nice, clean rooms, staff was polite and professional. You get a nice view of the Stella brewery right across the street. Also located very near AB-InBev headquarters. The hotel restaurant itself is also very nice. It's not big but has nice food, good service, and plenty of cold Stella.

Solid hotel with great food…read more Check-in: Can be a little slow. If there is a line, performance and efficiency are not top priorities. Get ready for a wait. But the staff is friendly at the front desk if somewhat limited. Limited you say? Let me give you an example. I needed to shorten my stay by a day. I let the front desk know, in person, of my change. The response: "We can't". When pressed, she said it was because I'd need to change it in the reservation system I used to book. Seeing as I didn't pre-pay, this didn't make sense. Additionally as I was 9 days into my 14 day stay, the site I used to book couldn't do anything. When pressed she "talked" to her manager and 2 seconds later I was all set. Keep in mind, I was making a change 4 days early, not the day before or day of my needed departure. Rooms: This is the tale of two rooms! If you get a room from the original hotel, well, it's not up to standard (think Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton). Its more at the motel level. And, IMPORTANT, the older rooms are not air conditioned. There are often twin sized beds in here. If you get a room in the "newer" side (comfort rooms I think they are referred to), then you're all set. Mini-bar, A/C, king beds, good bathrooms. Its well worth a few extra dollars. Gym: Treadmill, old elliptical machine and a odd bowflex like weight area. Hard to find in the basement. Restaurant/Food: This makes the Van Der Valk shine. Some of the best "hotel" food I've had. In fact they seem to be a dinning destination for the surrounding area. Great menu selection, high quality, full bar. Highly recommend. Parking: Gated, but free, parking. Remember when leaving in the AM to get a gate-pass at the front desk. Lot can fill up on occasion. There is overflow parking out the back gate to the left past Accenture. American tip: Service is "slow". It can take a while to get a drink or a re-fill. Think ahead. They are in NO rush at all and are not super attentive. Remember: you don't tip here, so you're stuck with the speed of service you get.
