Fantastic hotel and great staff. Little disappointing that the restaurant was fully booked when I arrived and I was not informed prior to this. Staff helped me to organise alternative food. Great hotel.

Aangenaam gastronomisch tripje.
We verbleven 1 overnachting in combinatie met diner in restaurant Innesto.
Kamer 1 heeft een mezzanine waar wc en ruime badkamer is gelegen. Alles goed werkend en verzorgd.Zicht op mooie tuin en stil ondanks de nabijgelegen snelweg.
Ontvangst is vriendelijk.In het aparte salon kan je een gratis kop koffie krijgen(selfservice) en /of een glaasje wijn/cava.Is een leuke attentie.
Ontbijt is goed verzorgd: broodjes, koffiekoeken, charcuterie,kaas, eitje naar wens,vers fruitsap.....
ik vermoed dat wij de enige gasten waren op dit moment en we ontbeten in de rondgang naast het middenplein.
Correcte prijs voor wat het hotel je biedt.
het restaurant Innesto verdient zeker een dikke pluim !!

Lovely hotel for a relaxing comfortable break.
Stayed overnight whilst visiting our son who is studying in Hasselt. Booked two rooms to indulge him away from university accommodation. Rooms were spacious and uncluttered both overlooking the front of the hotel. Grounds are beautiful especially in their autumn colours.
Hotel was very quiet, only 10 rooms. Breakfast excellent and excellent value for money.
Could not fault our stay. Hotel is on a very busy road but did not disturb us.

Terrific accommodations, fantastic restaurant.
A bit of an eclectic place, but the uniqueness and comfort of the accommodations was outstanding. And add to that an amazing restaurant. While there is not much immediately around it of interest, it's well located for accessing the nearby towns and attractions.
