Best Hotels in Chatelet, Belgium

If you have visited several Novotels, you are used to certain standards, from both room, staff and bar/restaurant. In Charleroi, unfortunately, only the room was made: the mine was super-sized, clean, modern and handy furnished. The shower was the best ever, and the (separate) bath was faster than I had ever seen (and that at the highest floor!) The choice of breakfast buffet was quite limited: especially fruit and vegetables were missing. The coffee machines were outside the breakfast room (best unhappy) and one of the two was defect every four days of my stay (very unhappy). The quality of coffee was consistent with the quality of the other breakfast products: moderate to average. The staff, which is very much praised in the reviews, must have been on holidays in a collective manner. The receptionists I found were uninterested, unpleasantly turned up their standard dresses and bloated out only in the active non-health of the guests when they passed. Even eye contact was too difficult, but the city itself was much more beautiful (or less ugly) than expected: in particular the centre and station area are very beautifully decorated in an invitation style. The majority of the people have not yet developed, and I have not yet met so many underdeveloped people in any Belgian city as this. If you want to visit any city in Hengegouwa, then Mons (Bergen) is a more wise and safer choice. You can walk on the street after ”closure time” without being contacted (by bearers) or called (by hang youths). In Charleroi you will be best inside at 19.00 hour, with the door closed. ;-)

The staff was professional, welcoming and helpful. However the room was not 25sqm as per description and the floor was not in wood/laminate. The carpet looked clean but did not have the best of smells. There was a strange stain around the WC although the bathroom it was clean and smelt fresh. Location n parking were good. Breakfast was lovely, fresh and with ample choice and staff polite, helpful and professional. We would say the room itself was probably e 1 or 2 (at a push) stars. We have been in a lot of IBIS and always satisfied, we would not return to this one because of the room standard. Maybe we should have asked to change room but at midnight did not want to make a fuss.

Hotel location is very good, a few minutes drive from the airport, the front desk can book a drop-off, 5 euros. The room was cleaned and all facilities were complete. Will choose this hotel in the future

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.

Fantastic service at an amazing price. It's only 20 minutes walk from the airport, and there is a bus service nearby which will get you where you need to be. The buffet breakfast is great too, and all the staff were amazingly polite, chatty and friendly. Will definitely stay here again if I come back to Belgium.

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 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.
