Hotels Near Historical Route Bastogne #2 in Bastogne

I checked in for three nights and ended up staying four. It was lovely. I believe family owned. The housekeeping is spotless. There is a lovely smell in the hall that i wish i could bottle up and take home. The parking is free both behind the building and in the front, never had an issue with finding a space. The breakfast.. omg! The best eggs, soft and fluffy, bacon cooked perfectly.. the croissants were so light and they had regular and chocolate. The bread.. wow, and great selections of meats and cheeses.. i am only disappointed in the fact i was jet lagged the first day and missed it. I would rate this breakfast as one of my top 2 in the world. And i travel a lot… one of my day plans went awry and they suggested other things to do which were brilliant. The hotel is located off a side street and is very quiet. Yet you are only a 2 minute walk from the main square with all the restaurants at your convenience. I have a lovely view of a church and rolling hills in the distance from my window. Coffee pot in the room with tea and coffee selections, a bathtub which I swear i will try in the morning. And a mini bar.. I requested a room with access to an elevator and air conditioning and got both. There is even an ice machine which is great for Americans.. i can’t fault a thing in this hotel. I would only say book it!! Don’t’ even hesitate.

Très bel hôtel. Avec parking. Les personnes (accueil, service...) était accueillantes. Notre chambre (5) au 1er étage était très très bien. Litterie très confortable. Très propre. Buffet petit déjeuner varié. Nous avons vraiment apprécié. A notre prochaine visite dans ce coin, nous y retournerons sans hésiter. Pour info: 110 euros pour la chambre double avec 2 petits déjeuners.

This hotel is a dud. When we arrived, the receptionist thrust papers at us without any hint of a smile. We were an irritant to her. Our room was noisy and when we tried to change notwithstanding it was a Monday night and the hotel really didn’t feel full at all, she said there weren’t any rooms. The corridor to our room was dark and gloomy. Our room’s bathroom had a broken toilet seat. At breakfast, the choices weren’t great.No cereal or muesli. Thank goodness we didn’t have dinner here last night as it looked very gloomy so we walked to Hotel De La Sure where we had a lovely dinner on the terrace. Next time we come here, we will stay there as it had a lovely vibe and felt welcoming.

It was our second stay in this hotel. For our purpose (to visit the shopping center of Massen and Schmiede) the location is perfect. The staff at the reception addressed us in Dutch which was a nice surprise as Dutch is our mother tongue. Staff at hotel (reception, housekeeper, breakfast) was very friendly and helpful. Although it was not mentioned at check-in, we were given a comfort room instead of the standard room we booked, of course this was a pleasant surprise. The comfort room is a lot larger and specious and very nice. Beds are great and of very good quality. One of our friends who travelled with us, suffers from an allergy and he did not sleep so well because of the carpet in the room. But for us it was perfect. There is a free bottle of water in the room and a machine with drinks you can purchase (soft drinks) in the hall and also a microwave and plates you can use are at disposal in the hall. The coffee was with powder and a water boiler, we prefer a small coffee machine with pads or so in the room as that quality of coffee is better. We had a terrace but due to the bad weather we could not enjoy it. Bathroom was spacious with a very good shower. One point of remark: the product in the shower was same for hands, hair and body. We never use the same product to wash our hair or our body so we don't like this (but I brought my own products from home). Breakfast is excellent with a large choice of all products (including smoked salmon). The breakfast room is not very big and can get very noisy and busy at rush moments. Also at the coffee machine there might be some delay. Only remark here: the floor of the breakfast room was ”sticky” so maybe it needs some extra cleaning. As for parking space, there is a big shopping center next to the hotel so parking can be very full and sometimes you need to search for a spare parking space and walk a little further with your luggage (not comfortable with the weather we had). Towards the evening I put the car closer by as it was standing at the end of the parking space at first. We enjoyed our stay here again and will definitely be back.

The hotel is located in a gorge with beautiful views and may be better in summer.
