Categories

Cleanliness
8.1
Multiple guests explicitly noted clean rooms ('Rene rom', 'Zimmer war sauber'), though one review described rooms as 'lieblos' which suggests inconsistent upkeep; overall slightly above standard for this property.
Service
8.6
Several guests praised reception and staff as friendly and helpful and described personnel as attentive; service consistently reported as a strong point.
Location
9.3
Repeatedly highlighted as excellent — immediate proximity to the Waterloo battlefield, memorial and museums, easy walking access to sights and pleasant views from the terrace/rooms.
Room Quality
6.5
Mixed-to-negative comments: some found rooms comfortable, but multiple reports of attic rooms being very hot, lack of air-conditioning, small roof windows, drafty doors/windows and outdated/‘tired’ décor; stairs and odd room layouts also affected expectations.
Amenities
7
Practical amenities noted (parking, garden, in-room fans provided), but wifi/connectivity problems, no AC in many rooms and pervasive steakhouse smells were recurring negatives.
Value for Money
7.5
Several guests described the hotel as affordable and convenient for the sights, though some found the on-site restaurant pricey (especially wine); overall fair value with caveats.
Food and Beverage
8.2
The hotel's restaurant received consistently strong praise for dinner quality and service ('excellent meals', 'restaurant food is excellent'), but breakfast/buffet quality and the use of the restaurant as the breakfast room drew negative comments.
Overall Experience
8
Overall positive sentiment driven by unbeatable location, good restaurant and helpful staff; significant downsides (heat in attic rooms, some room condition issues and wifi/breakfast problems) temper the experience.

A no brainer for exploring the battlefield.
Pros:

Perfect location. Literally on the battlefield of Waterloo so you can walk out the door to start exploring.

Cons:

One of the more expensive breakfasts around but having said that, first bacon and eggs I’ve seen in some time.

Pour l'hôtel, un séjour aussi peu agréable que celui du Petit Caporal à Waterloo
Pros:

Très bon emplacement sur le champ de bataille de Waterloo, mais c'est le seul point partagé avec la pension U Kostela à Ujezd u Brna ,proche d'Austerlitz où ,coincidence,nous étions quelques jours plus tôt.
Les autres ponts positifs de notre séjour sont à porter au crédit du Memorial Waterloo 1815 .Pour un droit d'entrée raisonnable de 44 euros pour deux personnes,le très beau musée ,le Panorama(un peu décevant)la butte du Lion et ses animations,la navette gratuite pour la ferme d'Hougoumont; site très évocateur de la bataille avec en point d'orgue un récit audiovisuel presque poétique.
Coupé d'un bon repas au Wellington-des brochettes succulentes-,la visite vous occupe agréablement et utilement votre journée.
A l'instar des pontonniers du Général Eblé lors du passage de la Bérézina, le Mémorial a sauvé notre campagne de Russie à Waterloo.
Rien que pour cela nos voisins belges méritent la Légion d'honneur !

Cons:

Waterloo morne plaine,Hôtel 1815 ,morne séjour.
Prélèvement instantané du prix de la prestation; rien de réprehensible .Contacté, sur Whatsapp,sur l'heure d'arrivée,la réponse de l'hôtelier contenait une question sur le petit déjeuner.
Ayant marqué mon intérêt, à 16h59 ,réponse de l'hôtelier dès 17h11 et prélèvement sans autorisation du montant . La communication de données bancaires, sur booking, pouvait mener à des retraits ,hors circuit ???
A l'arrivée, réception sans grand apparat , encore une question sur le petit déjeuner du surlendemain, et mention d'une amende pour "fumage " dans la chambre et une ponction de 20 euros pour checkout tardif (quelle durée, dans quelles conditions, mystère. Cela m'a rappelé le préfet de discipline à mon arrivée à l'internat.
Les chambres portent des noms fleurant l'histoire :Reille,Blucher,Wellington etc...
Nous eûmes droit à Lobau?? A pédant, pédant et demi ,aucune bataille ne porte le nom de Lobau,mais celui d'Essling, ni aucun général d'ailleurs, le comte de Lobau s'appelait "Mouton".
Mais cela est sans importance, notre chambre aurait mérité le nom de Leipzig ou Trafalgar.
D'aspect correct et propre,elle a la particularité de n'avoir comme ouvertures que deux rectangles de 40cm et 70cm comme des sabords de bateau mais donnant sur le ciel et deux hublots de 30 cm de diamètre, verrouillés,enchassés dans le mur.Donc Trafalgar.
La chambre était donc sans vue ,comme sous entendu dans le descriptif ,mais pas visibles sur les photos
Pour l'équipement quatre cintres ne vous incitent pas à de défaire vos bagages, un seul fauteuil pour deux ,de petites planchettes collées sous la lampe comme chevets et des couettes lourdes comme des ânes morts très utiles en saison et en période de canicule.

Waterloo
Pros:

Excellent location for visiting the Waterloo battlefield site and museum, located close to La Haye Sainte. Excellent evening meal in the hotel restaurant. Easy parking at the side of the hotel.

Cons:

After the superb evening meal, breakfast was adequate but average. No air con which would have been preferable but we had a fan instead
