Charleroi Homestays

This hotel has an exceptional location in the heart of Charleroi. It adjoins a major downtown shopping mall with international brands and standard fast food options including Burger King. My room had amazing view of the central plaza including the church. There is an excellent range of restaurants nearby and a small selection of convenience stores. However, there was are no large supermarket in this area, and getting access to pharmacies was difficult at night. The reception area has lively bar on level 2 and there is outdoor areas with seating and umbrellas for the summer period. During this visit in August, there was some live music in the streets nearby which added to the town atmosphere, but this city is not Brussels, as visitors should lower expectations regarding night life options. It about a 10 min walks to the Central Station and express buses to the airport. (Charleroi low cost airport) Note: The railway stations area is under construction, some care may be required with luggage.

Really nice hotel staff where friendly, aircon in the room was really good with how hot it was taxi service to the airport and

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 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.

We were attracted to this facility by the fact that it is declared to be 300 metres from Charleroi airport.. unfortunately the 300 metres have been revealed a few km .. About 3 and a half ...Then you need to use taxi shipping service or eventually have a own means for which at least there is free parking. This very kind staff, the structure is beautiful but of course as ”support” for the road from and for the airport without too much expectation.

This hotels exterior belies the truth about this hotel. The owner is simply fantastic , and never have we stayed at a hotel where the owner goes above and beyond the call of duty.Sridi Abdeltiv runs a wonderful ship. The facilities are beautiful , the bedrooms wonderful, good mattresses and the place is simply immaculate. After Ryan air had dumped us at Brussells city airport 3 hours late, after taxis had stopped, buses stopped we had to catch a train to Charleroi Airport. Taxi stand was in a dark , scary corner. We rang the hotel and asked for help to order a taxi, 3 mins later it arrived and he even told us we should pay no more tha $25 euros for the taxi. He waited up, gave us a cup of tea, woke us 4 -5 hours later and took us to airport,. We could not speak highly enough of Sridi, his operation and the extremely convenient location Price was exceelent too Well done Sridi

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.
