Hotels Near La Madonna al Cuore d'Oro in Beauraing

We stayed here for one night and must say we were a bit reluctant having read previous reviews. Luckily there were not any major issues with our stay, but it was still a bit frustrating to see how they threw away such a good potential. To take the positives first, the location is nice and secluded and the room we got at least seemed to be partially updated recent years. There were still some old furniture with stains, but paint and doors seemed new(er). The outside area between the main buildings with a terrace and a grill was also nice. If you wandered a bit further though, that's where you see the decline. What seemed to be a basket & tennis court in addition to a miniature golf course are just left to rot. That's not something that require heavy maintenance to keep in order, so that's just laziness, and something that would have made the hotel much better and catered to families in a whole different way. The water in the indoor swimming pool was also freexing cold, probably another cost saving activity. In addition, when we came to breakfast about 10 minutes before closing, pretty much everything was picked out. When staff came out and took some of the trays I expected them to refill and restock, but instead they just took them away. This left us with very few options and is not acceptable from a serious hotel. If breakfast times are until 10, you should get the same experience no matter if you show up at 8 or 9.50. Again, this is laziness and cost saving, but seems like an implemented routine. All in all, this has the potential to be a great hotel, but that requires willingness from the management. Right now, that doesn't seem to be existing.

Selected as a one night stop between Brussels and Frankfurt, it’s such a lovely town! Quintessential small Belgian/French town, so quiet at night and beautiful. Town is busy during day, has a vibrant feel. Hotel is newly refurbished and attractive, much more so than photos suggest. Front desk was kind and helpful, family room was huge, complete with bunk beds, king bed and sitting area with dining table. Plenty of room for our family of 5! The kids enjoyed the pool and the play area in lobby. For an entry level hotel this far exceeded our expectations, it’s not the Ritz but for the price it is pretty darn amazing. If you’re used to luxury hotels you won’t be disappointed and if you’re used to motels this is high class living.

It’s 8mins drive up from the hotel to the citadel, the cafe overlooks the river so if you could, request for the facing along the river. We didn’t and I kinda regret that. The side facing the road can be a little noisy at night. The bed and shower is good. There is spare pillow which is standard sized. Towels are also provided but the others such as brush and combs do bring one set yourself. There is also no hot water flask. The reception is kind and helpful. The breakfast is amazing with attentive staff and the orange juice is freshly squeezed on the spot by a machine. It was too cold to sit alfresco but I would if the weather is a tad warmer. Parking on-site is limited but there are parking around the area free or charged. Just don’t park into the ****** or you would have trouble getting your car mentioned by the reception. Otherwise, another great restful night in a no frills hotel I would recommend. Thank you.
