Hotel berhampiran Le Grand Etang di La Hulpe

Lovely location , secluded from the city and a perfect getaway from reality to get in touch with who you are. The Cinq Mondes Spa provides some elevating body massages and then hiking through the Sonian Forest in the morning was absolutely amazing and breathtaking

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.

Definitely not a 5 star hotel, and not at all a 5 star breakfast… If you book this hotel, do yourself a favor and avoid the breakfast buffet. It’s boring, and if you’re not the first ones to eat, you can expect a half-empty buffet and have to ask the staff for things to be filled. Simple things as water weren’t getting refilled. Regarding the rooms, they were ok and big. Besides 2 month old soda in the minibar… Also the bar is never open. We asked two days in a row at different times of the day and still couldn’t get anything from the bar. This hotel is not worth the price

Very friendly and useful service from James, with him providing all of the best places to eat and see. However the area in itself felt unsafe and a bit dangerous.

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Belgium and were very happy with our choice. The service was very friendly and we loved the breakfast each morning, which was included with our room rate and had many warm and cold options. Parking was free for our rental car. The main downside is that there isn't a lot around, so it is much more convenient if you have a car. But with one, we enjoyed the quick access to Waterloo and to downtown Nivelles. We would definitely stay here again.

Booked this to catch my flight for the next morning, nothing less than what was expected, clean room, friendly staffs and most importantly free transport to and from airport, will consider this hotel again for convenience.

We really liked the hotel itself and it was all newly renovated and looked good and was tidy, both lobby, stairway/elevator and room. The room was big but with basic interior, like nightstands were stools from Ikea. There was no refrigerator which was inconvenient in the heat. The hotel is rather close to the city center and only takes about 10 minutes to walk to the city center, however the hotel seems to be located in a sketchy neighbourhood and not many tourists in the area. We were recommended by locals to take a taxi/uber back to the hotel during the nights.

We arrived in to the hotel quite late as our late flights from Dublin had been delayed twice , so it was after midnight and two tired children and family’s went to check in , Tom the receptionist mixed up the rooms and the credit card didn’t work as my number was in my phone which was dead , I just said let us in and I’ll charge phone and come back down which I did , I found this could have been avoided if everything had of been ready for us , I paid for an upgrade which was €20 a night extra well worth it as we were now facing the quiet garden courtyard are very nice as was our room two . This is a very modern hotel relatively new hotel , we went aloud to let the children touch the expansive plane in the foyer as Tom said it was 2k , lovely indeed but try telling our 4 year old not to touch this big toy . Restaurant in hotel is brilliant, food , service and breakfast was brilliant too although scrambled eggs need to be cooked a little more . Altogether I recommend this hotel and a little French should be learnt before your visit . I did feel in general that the hotel seemed to cater more for dogs than they did for children of the quests but that’s my opinion.

In short, a dump for €170 per night (regardless of the rate they advertise). Long version: I checked into a 5th floor room at just after 2pm in mid-October. The only window, which opened to the roof, was open and it was about 10C outside and maybe 15C in the room - too cold to be comfortable. I noticed the smell of sewage. I’m tall, so I looked out the open roof window and could see a sewer roof vent about one meter from the open window. I immediately closed the window and turned on the radiator to “4” (full on) to warm the room up. 15 minutes after, I could smell mold or mildew in the room, possibly from the carpet - hence the open window. I attempted to work on my laptop but the Wi-Fi dropped out every 10-15 minutes. I tried 4 different Wi-Fi’s in the hotel and had the same problems. After 30 minutes, I checked the radiator - stone cold. I went back to the front desk and described the Wi-Fi problem. Response - “nothing I can do but I called the IT guy.” Fair enough. I asked about there being no heat in the room. Response “ give it an hour or two.” I left to explore a bit and had dinner. I returned at 8pm. Different guy at the front desk. Still no Wi-Fi with a stable connection. Still no room heat, and it was getting colder outside and in the room. I went back to the front desk. Responses were “I’ll get the IT guy to fix the Wi-Fi” and “give the radiator an hour or two to warm up”. I replied that I had given the radiator over 4 hours to warm up and the supply lines to the radiator were cold. I asked to be moved to a room with heat and and he said “nothing I can do”. I asked for them to check the furnace and they had nobody who could do that. Perhaps heat was out for the entire hotel and they were still booking and charging rooms on a cold October day. Who knows? I checked out (or attempted to) at 10 pm same day and requested a full refund. They had charged me a full three nights stay immediately upon check-in for a dingy, smelly hotel room without heat in late Autumn. In the end, they refused to refund any of the stay despite not being able to provide a heated room in mid-October in Brussels. What a dump. Save your money. There is a decent hotel 3 blocks away with both Wi-Fi and working room heat.
