Asrama di Charleroi

Als je meerdere Novotels bezocht hebt, ben je gewend geraakt aan bepaalde standaards, van zowel kamer, personeel als bar/restaurant. In Charleroi worden helaas alleen die van de kamer waargemaakt: de mijne was supergroot, netjes, modern en handig ingericht. De regendouche was de beste ooit en het (aparte) bad liep sneller vol dan ik ooit meegemaakt had (en dat op de hoogste verdieping!). De keuze bij het ontbijtbuffet was tamelijk beperkt: met name aan groente en fruit ontbrak er het één en ander. De koffieautomaten bevonden zich buiten de ontbijtzaal (best onhandig) en één van de twee was alle vier dagen van mijn verblijf defect (erg onhandig). De kwaliteit van de koffie kwam overeen met de kwaliteit van de andere ontbijtproducten: matig tot gemiddeld. Dit is het ontbijt dat je verwacht bij Ibis Budget en dat dan ook overeenkomstig geprijsd is. Het personeel, dat hier in de reviews enorm geprezen wordt, moet haast wel collectief op vakantie geweest zijn. De receptionisten die ik trof, waren ongeïnteresseerd, dreunden lusteloos hun standaardriedels op en blonken alleen uit in het actief niet-groeten van de gasten als die voorbij kwamen. In Berlijn zouden deze mensen buschauffeur zijn. Zelfs oogcontact maken was al te veel moeite. De stad Charleroi zelf was daarentegen veel mooier (of minder lelijk) dan verwacht: met name het centrum en stationsgebied zijn erg mooi opgeknapt in een uitnodigende stijl. De meeste inwoners zijn op hun beurt nog niet echt mee geëvolueerd. Ik ben nog in geen enkele Belgische stad zoveel onderontwikkelde (en iedere betekenis van het woord) mensen tegengekomen als hier. Mocht je om het even welke een stad in Henegouwen willen bezoeken, dan is Mons (Bergen) een verstandiger en veiliger keus. Daar kun je na ”sluitingstijd” nog ongestoord over straat lopen, zonder op elke straathoek aangesproken (door bedelaars) of nageroepen (door hangjongeren) te worden. In Charleroi ben je best om 19.00 uur binnen, met de deur op slot. ;-)

We booked this a few hours before our arrival on our way home to UK. There is a huge amount of construction work being done in the surrounding area which makes finding the hotel and the secure parking very challenging. This is not explained at booking. The car park doesn’t feel secure despite the entry system. We were greeted warmly by staff who were professional and helpful. We were in a room that felt like an oven. Upon asking for a fan we were told the air con was broken in that room. We did get a fan. We walked, quickly, to the nearest restaurant. Nothing to do with the hotel but the area does not feel safe at all. We passed a guy wearing a stab proof vest. He was not armed forces unless these guys walk with pitties in Belgium. Groups of young men gathered was quite intimidating for a women and her 14yr old son. When we were back in hotel the corridor and the room smelled of cigarette smoke. We had a disturbed sleep between the noisy fan, cigarette smoke seeping into the room and the fear of being murdered in our sleep! (I kid you not!). Never been so glad to leave a hotel or an area as soon as we could that morning! Couldn’t help wondering if hotel was used for tourism and other reasons because of the groups of people hanging about. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Despite the cigarette smoke and aged decor in the room, it was clean.

Siamo stati in questa struttura attirati dal fatto che viene dichiarato si trovi a 300 metri dall'aeroporto di Charleroi..purtroppo i 300 metri si sono rivelati qualche km ..circa 3 e mezzo...quindi e necessario utilizzare servizio navetta taxi o eventualmente avere un mezzo proprio per il quale almeno c'è un parcheggio gratuito. Detto questo gentilissimo il personale, carina la struttura ma ovviamente come ”appoggio”per la strada da e per l'aeroporto senza troppe aspettative.

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!

Clean and convenient. They have a free airport shuttle that was quick and efficient. The rooms and bathrooms are clean, they just do not have air conditioning unless you visit in July or August and we would have liked to have it during our June visit. There are also not many places to eat nearby, but the front desk is helpful in suggesting the few places that are nearby.
