Hotels Near Parc de la Maillebotte in Nivelles

We have chosen this beautiful place for our marriage unfortunately the politeness and gentleness of some of the local managers are far from the minimum syndical you could hope for this kind of place... the evening of the marriage I hear me say By the owner that there is a seminar and that I therefore have no noise and not to enclosure the passage and that it is a privilege to let me decorate the room that I've hired over €3000 and that I've chosen it well so it is at its conditions ! My guests and my service providers have literally been attacked and threatened to be fucked at the door by madame. The commitments made by the owners have not been respected and even the evening we meet with our naked singer changing out of her room without even having the opportunity to get her scene costumes... Although we are We had a calm discussion the next morning, but I can unfortunately only give a negative opinion on this beautiful place. I can only advise you to find another place for your marriage if you want to avoid this kind of extra stress...

Calme et harmonie pour cet hôtel de qualité. L’accueil est chaleureux et le service soigné et attentif. Le petit-déjeuner est généreux et varié et selon la météo peut être pris dans le jardin. Les chambres sont très confortables et l’écrin vert dans lequel l’établissement est niché en fait une halte très agréable au cœur de Waterloo. Un très bel endroit pour un court séjour ou bien plus (nous n’avons pas encore eu l’occasion de découvrir le restaurant !).

We made a trip from the Baltic Sea and were on the way down to Spain. The hotel was a request on very short notice and we already knew van der Valk so booked it. The quality and service in this Van der Valk outstanding and we can only recommend it!

We stayed 1 night at the start of our 5 day bicycle trip. Friendly, quiet hotel, close to the highway and bicycle routes. You can bike to Mons and the famous historical boat lifts and the huge boat lift of Strépy, or to Binche, or the castle of Seneffe via nice routes.We were allowed to leave our car at the hotel parking for 5 days. Thank you so much for that. Good breakfast. The hotel is next to an industrial area, so quiet at night. There is a restaurant, where truckers come, next to the hotel. Should stay there again.

Stayed in this hotel with my husband as part of a Leger Tour for 4 nights. Do not be fooled by the lovely pictures you see of this Chateau. Had to take our own bags to our room which involved dragging them up some steps (no lift to first floor) and then down a long corridor. The room was dark and no view from the tiny window so paid extra to change it for a lake view room which had a restricted view of the lake, slightly bigger than the first room, poorly stocked mini bar, lumpy bed, shaver socket not working - but it was better than the first room. Very limited on lifts in this hotel and lots of steps, only 2 outside areas to sit - one to the side of the restaurant and a center courtyard which was very untidy and uncomfortable. Service is practically non existent especially in the bar we didn't eat in the restaurant as we were told it was fully booked although it looked empty to us, think it was more a lack of staff then fully booked. Breakfast was ok but not 5 Star in fact nothing about this hotel is 5 Star quality except the prices. On the first night we were sitting in the courtyard and spotted a rat scuttling down the drain, we didn't thing much of it bearing in mind the location of this hotel but the next morning on our way down to breakfast we saw 2 more rats running down the corridor which is not what you expect to see in any hotel, although we didn't see anymore rats inside the hotel we did see more in the courtyard during our stay. The staff were pleasant enough but not overly helpful. All in all this is not a relaxing place to stay and would not recommend it and a long way off 5 Star quality.

The hotel facilities are good, the rooms and beds are good. When you stay at the hotel, the host will ask you for the flight, so that you can use the private van to take you to the Southern Charleroi Airport the next day. The only downside is that the location of the hotel is a bit biased. There is no direct car when you check in. You must first arrive at the Southern Charleroi Airport by car and then walk 5.5 km (navigate yourself) to get to the hotel.

Extremely compact room but beds were OK. Very nice walk in shower. Buffet breakfast was vey good, available from 6am. Tea and coffee was available in restaurant from 4:30a am. Entrance to car park was poorly lit making coach parking very difficult.

If you have visited several Novotels, you are used to certain standards, from both room, staff and bar/restaurant. In Charleroi, unfortunately, only the room was made: the mine was super-sized, clean, modern and handy furnished. The shower was the best ever, and the (separate) bath was faster than I had ever seen (and that at the highest floor!) The choice of breakfast buffet was quite limited: especially fruit and vegetables were missing. The coffee machines were outside the breakfast room (best unhappy) and one of the two was defect every four days of my stay (very unhappy). The quality of coffee was consistent with the quality of the other breakfast products: moderate to average. The staff, which is very much praised in the reviews, must have been on holidays in a collective manner. The receptionists I found were uninterested, unpleasantly turned up their standard dresses and bloated out only in the active non-health of the guests when they passed. Even eye contact was too difficult, but the city itself was much more beautiful (or less ugly) than expected: in particular the centre and station area are very beautifully decorated in an invitation style. The majority of the people have not yet developed, and I have not yet met so many underdeveloped people in any Belgian city as this. If you want to visit any city in Hengegouwa, then Mons (Bergen) is a more wise and safer choice. You can walk on the street after ”closure time” without being contacted (by bearers) or called (by hang youths). In Charleroi you will be best inside at 19.00 hour, with the door closed. ;-)
