Cleanliness
6.5
Multiple comments about dust on glasses, streaks on mirrors, dirty cloth behind curtains, shower mold, unclean bathroom surfaces and a generally not well-kept stairwell — clearly below average cleanliness.
Service
9.5
Consistently praised: friendly and helpful staff, daily housekeeping and towel/coffee restocking, proactive gestures (welcome drink, room upgrade) — strong service impression.
Location
9
Repeatedly highlighted as an excellent base for cycling and a convenient stopover (near routes to Calais); quiet setting for most rooms — very good location.
Room Quality
8
Rooms praised for size and comfortable beds, but several reports of noisy rooms by the road, malfunctioning air conditioning/cooling, small or dated bathrooms and shower issues — mixed quality.
Amenities
8.5
Good breakfast offering, coffee/tea facilities in rooms and bike storage noted; some broken or noisy equipment (fridge, fans, shower head) reported — generally solid amenities with some faults.
Value for Money
8
Many guests found the breakfast and location excellent, but a few felt the price did not match issues with bathrooms or facilities; overall reasonable but not uniformly excellent value.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast repeatedly described as very good/excellent and restaurant meals praised; a few minor issues (menu language, dining room warmth) but overall strong F&B.
Overall Experience
9.5
Overall positive stays with guests calling it relaxing, a great base for cycling and noting friendly staff and excellent breakfast; cleanliness and some room equipment issues lowered experiences for some but most would return.

Nette schone kamers
Pros:

Mooie moderne kamer en erg proper. Ook onze hond mocht (tegen meerprijs) mee. Ontbijt was ook prima.

Cons:

Personeel vonden wij niet erg vriendelijk / behulpzaam en bij het ontbijt was er veel leeg, borden ontbraken, bestek op, roerei was koud en veel te erg gekruid. Erg jammer! Met hond mag je alleen in de serre (aanbouw) zitten en dat viel ons ook tegen.

Voor verbetering vatbaar
Pros:

Mooie kamers en de ligging

Cons:

De kamer was te warm omdat de airco onvoldoende werkte. Het verouderde toestel produceerde ook te veel geluid.

Het ontbijt kan beter:
Spek met ei waren veel te hard gebakken en de zacht gekookte eieren waren koud.

De cappuccino uit de automaat bevatte amper koffie.

Perfect voor fietstrips
Pros:

Comfortabele kamers in een brasserie met restaurant.
Prima ontbijt. Ligging en faciliteiten perfect voor fietsers.

Cons:

Restaurantkeuken tot 10 uur. Later moet je met de auto wat verder op zoek om nog iets te eten, dorpskern van Houthalen bv.
