The hotel is excellent. The room was very good with a comfortable bed and breakfast is amazing. The only downside is that the bus does not run at the weekend so it is a 15 min walk to the tram stop at the hospital.

Rooms- the rooms were very specious and well kept. Very high tech i.e. scanning key before selecting floor. Easy to request for room service and 'do not disturb' Easy control of the heating. Breakfast- excellent spread of food and choice. The best breakfast I have had for a long while. Minimum 10/10 rating. Staff- nothing to fault. Great level of service and staff very friendly and approachable. Very professional. Location- great to get into town very easily with cabs/Uber. I would highly recommend this hotel. I will definitely be returning.

Excellent stay

While it’s in an industrial area - perfect for the arena nearby - it’s also extremely welcoming, comfortable and family friendly. The food (breakfast and dinner) were both standout, the room was spacious and comfortable and the staff very friendly. The whole place is very tranquil. We’ll definitely go back.

Great hotel to stay with family.

Another great stay at this hotel for us as a family. When ever we have the opportunity to stay in Belgium we chose Van der Valk for simply great servive we receive. This year on our return to UK from our trip to Europe we chose this hotel again and our experience again was lovely. From check in to the room choice and great breakfast we received an outstanding service.

Whilst the hotel is positioned close to the motorway it is on an industrial estate so reaching it wasn't what we expected. However, as soon as you enter the hotel you forget the journey as it was luxurious from the moment you step inside. The rooms, dining and drinks were all sublime

Property clean and staff excellent. Approach to hotel felt like an industrial estate and view from window the same. Car is necessary to go into town. Lighting in dining room too dark at breakfast, and not enough light in room for reading. Good car parking (surface and underground) at a reasonable rate.
