Bouillon hotellia

Plussat: It's a wonderful place to visit if you want to get away from the daily grind. -Beautiful, peaceful location with lots of amazing vistas all within hiking distance. -In early Autumn, the seasonal colors of the forests create breathtaking scenery. -Delicious breakfast, with extra information about the food given by the owners if you want to know more. -Close to Bouillon, it's only a 10 minute drive away! -Quite easy to find.

Plussat: The hosts were terrific, loved how they talked with us all during breakfast and made us feel like we were visiting friends. Loved how they transformed the original building and left some original pieces. Felt extremely safe there even when we were the only couple until later in the evening.

Miinukset: Was concerned when we first arrived as there was no one there, but our own fault as we didn’t see the email from the host asking when we would be there so he could meet us. He answered our call immediately and provided us with what we needed.

Plussat: It was close to Bouillon by car.

Miinukset: The beds and the pillows were not comfortable.

Plussat: Great location, owner is very nice, house is half under the ground which makes it feel like a little cave. The children were enchanted, very nice backyard and great breakfast.

Plussat: Lovely little place, away from almost anything but close enough to not be a problem. Very good value, secure parking and great breakfast. Owner was very helpful

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very nice hotel with a fantastic view on the city / Castle . The wellness is also worth a visit . The 50€ menue was excellent and the cognac in the lounge area was just perfect .

Miinukset: ... nothing ...

Plussat: Excellent hotel, great position, good room, and lovely dinner. Couldn't fault it. If in Bouillion, this is the place to stay. Will be back !

Miinukset: Pillows needed to be bigger, seemed incongruous that on a super king size bed we were only given one small pillow per person. In the hotels defence we were too stupid to ask for more. But maybe something to be considered.

Plussat: The hotel is situated high up above Bouillon with wonderful views across the river and to the castle. Our room was very comfortable. Lounge area very comfy and there is a great terrace at the front. Sadly it was raining so we didn’t use it. We ate dinner which was absolutely delicious and had an excellent breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: Parking could be tricky

Plussat: Lovely views and comfortable room with good shower. Good breakfast and lovely dog called Ginger. 10 min walk into town.

Miinukset: Small step inside bedroom door a bit of a hazard plus to lock and unlock bedroom door inside you need to remove key from power slot hence lights go out and you can’t see the key or lock. Would be very dangerous in a fire situation.

Plussat: We had a fabulous meal at this hotel which we all enjoyed very much and the breakfast was very good aswell. The hotel was very high up hence the name which gave great views over the town.

Plussat: the restaurant was excellent.

Miinukset: The room was one of the few that had not been updated. It was very basic and more aligned with a budget room.

Plussat: There was a beautiful view from the bedroom, which was of a good size, though we had booked an upgraded room. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent, in a pleasant dining area.

Miinukset: They should not advertise a swimming pool. It's a plunge pool.

Plussat: The place is up a steep hill but accessible if you've got stamina or a car. The views, especially from our room #2 were dramatic of the city and the Count's Fort. It had a lovely "public patio" (quotes to be explained later) and our room also had a grand outdoor patio.

Miinukset: The owner/chef Wim(?), ruined our time at this location. He is a hot head with a chip on his shoulder that ended up being the downfall of our time there as well as two Americans also staying there that we befriended. As John Paul, our Belgian American friend said "this guy is really bad for Belgium." Not to prolong the misery but the incident arose after we were gifted by Van Steenberg Brewery near Ghent a magnum of our favorite Belgium beer, Tripel de Garre. We told the staff we wanted to share it with others and the young son showed us we had a fridge in our room. I then told Wim we met their guests from America and wanted to get some cheeses to offer them when we shared the bottle. Wim directed me to the store. We met our friends on the public patio outside well away from the B&B and restaurant. there was no one in the bar or restaurant. I asked the young worker if we could use four glasses to share the beer and he graciously agreed. After about 30 minutes of quietly enjoying the view and the beer, Wim stormed onto the public patio, told us we were not allowed to drink our belgium beer there and insisted we leave immediately. We said OK and started to gather our belongings but Wim shouted "right now, you must leave immediately!" He then claimed in 20 years no guest has ever had the audacity to share a beverage on the public patio. At that point, we had to ask him to calm down as he was acting threatening, but the rant continued. He even told us about the size of his mortgage as if drinking our gift had deprived him of significant value! The said thing is our simple celebration with new found friends is not what is depriving him of income. It is the atrociously sophomoric culinary experience he offers. It was also the low light of our eating in Belgium. This guy really should not be in the service or culinary business. To prove the point, aside from the four of us, only one other couple ever showed up for dinner.

Plussat: Shower

Miinukset: Lighting in the room

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, clean hotel and nice bathroom

Miinukset: 130 € / per night is a bit expensive for a small room, without breakfast.

Plussat: Very attractive house, high on the hill in Bouillon with beautiful views of the town.

Miinukset: The breakfast was quite extensive but compared to others we sampled on our tour with thought it was rather overpriced for the quantities offered.

Plussat: Beautiful view of the castle! Location was perfect. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Big thank you to the young lady working at reception that accommodated us when we asked to change the room. Highly recommended visit to this hotel and location.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect!

Plussat: Old charming hotel.

Miinukset: Good restaurant too expensive.

Plussat: Location was good.

Miinukset: No kettle to warm water in the room, for a single tea at least....

Plussat: Great location, cozy hotel.

Plussat: I made a mistake and booked a day earlier than I meant to, hotel still honoured booking and didn't charge again, which they didn't have to as it was my mistake

Miinukset: Nothing all good

Plussat: Great location. Nicely refurbished, keeping the old style and architecture alive.

Miinukset: Had better breakfast, for the same price. You can easily hear neighbors from room above.

Plussat: The tasteful decor, the high quality food in the bar and restaurant, the relaxing atmosphere.

Miinukset: The WiFi did not work as in it was so slow you couldn’t use it, surprising given the fast connections you normally find in Belgium.

Plussat: There were young children / classes out of schools who brought some life in the building

Miinukset: No remark

Plussat: The breakfast was gorgeous..

Plussat: Great location & view. Very steep hill into town 600-700 meters (17%) Bar had good beer selection Buffet breakfast was good as hotel

Plussat: Excellent location , great view and well priced

Plussat: - amazing view from hostel. You can overlook the whole village (including the castle and the church) - a lot of public area to seat and relax - breakfast and bar area looks cozy - look clean everywhere - staffs are helpful - overall i have a pleasant stay here

Miinukset: - if you take the bus to Bouillon, after get off from the bus stop, you need to walk 20mins uphill to hostel - reception opens in a limited time. I was locked out from hostel when I arrived there at 1pm (which is their lunch time break). Be prepared to arrive at the time they open. - only 4 plugs in a dormitory with 10people and not near the bed. Just a remind to guest.

Plussat: Clean, good bed

Miinukset: Common areas close after 10pm (no lobby access). Breakfast room is dark with no windows (no view of the castle) Breakfast OK but didn't meet our expectation at the price level, compared to other properties we stayed at in the area.

Plussat: Nice view over Bouillon and the Castle.

Miinukset: The hotel could be named ”Cosy & Strange”. When we entered into the reception we met a big cat.... I love cats but my wife does not. So, perhaps it would be good to inform guests that this is an Animal Hotel... also because it was in the breakfast restaurant in the morning too... we all know what cats do.. Then the stairs up to the room was very uncomfortable and it was smelling old. Finally the room was cold... so yes you can say it was cosy.... had to sleep close to keep the temperature. I guess this hotel will be perfect for catlovers for guests still living in the eighties. Modern guests expect more in relation to the relatively high price we paid.

Plussat: I like location and I had paid extra fir view on castle . Breakfast and dinner were very good

Miinukset: The staff. Gentleman at reception (probably co owner) is tge weakest point. Room had canalisation priblem I guess, meaning water in bathroom took long minutes to go down.

Plussat: Lovely welcome by the parents of one of the owners? Gentle and kind. Warm. A lot of things to look at, felt a little crowded but was very warming and cosy as the name says. Room pretty, lovely, cosy. Lightly themed. Amazing views. Really welcoming. I figured out that there was a car radio cassette player built in my night table and soon we were dancing to old classics. A lot of fun. Good night's sleep. Breakfast: everything that was available tasted good. Nice room for breakfast. Location was pretty as we had great views and could also park right in front of the hotel. Parents of one of the owners were so very kind, they made our stay extra pleasant! Big thumbs up for them!

Miinukset: I did not like that there was not really someone to receive us at 14h40, 20min before check-in. Yes one of the owners parents were there and very welcoming but they couldn't help us. Nobody was at the hotel yet. Breakfast could have been a bit more welcoming by perhaps having staff here to help navigate a little bit or provide a cappuccino, latte or hot chocolate instead of filter coffee on a heat plate and nearly no warm milk. A machine could help as well. Being in this area I expected more cheeses or specialties at breakfast. Bit of a small and crowded area when looking for things, felt a little unnatural. Big bathroom with bathtub which is great but very slippery and no handle bars. The door that would stop the water from going on the floor, sadly did not work so well. I don't like the packaging for shampoo that you have to tear open, not very convenient. Entrance a little busy and beautiful view blocked, would put a lounge here. Oh and with checkout we had to pay for the minibar usage, but we checked up front and there wasn't mentioning of it in their welcoming book, like prices, and there wasn't, so expected water to be free of charge. Which it was not. Told the owner at checkout, but he did not respond to that.

Plussat: Very cosy, like the hotel's name says! And very good restaurant.

Plussat: Lovely room and breakfast. Great location

Plussat: Great hotel lovely family run business. Very quirky decor which we loved. Top chef who cooked a lovely evening meal.

Miinukset: Hard pillows.

Plussat: This is a hotel we’ve stayed at on a number of occasions and have always enjoyed our stay here. We have always found it to be very good value for money and have enjoyed the traditional feel to the hotel. Our rooms have always had river views and it’s location is just a short riverside stroll to the main hub of the town.

Miinukset: This trip was with my son and we each had a single room. My room sadly was the worst I have experienced at this hotel over the years. The shower sprayed water everywhere but where you needed it ie down! The shower room had a hole in the floor under the carpet and a second hole under the carpet in the bedroom. I really don’t feel my room was fit for purpose.

Plussat: At first, the staff seemed curt, but later the manager was quite helpful. The location was also very good.

Miinukset: I've never seen: 1). A hotel in a cold climate with tiles on the floor with no carpeting! Gave it a cold, impersonal feeling. 2.) A TV with a controlled maximum volume! Wasn't very loud!!

Plussat: The chef/owner was very attenti8ve to his guests and provided a very high standard of cuisine.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Friends said shared bathrooms lacked privacy - I understand there were open cubicles for shower and toilets in same space.

Plussat: The view and the location excellent. Staff very helpful.

Miinukset: The internet could be only accessed through a cable in the lobby. I guess that it is close to impossible to get to it in high season.

Plussat: Good position in town of Bouillon

Miinukset: Dog in adjoining room disturbed us in the night. Group of 10+ young ladies were noisy, visiting each others rooms, banging doors, hairdryer going at 5.30 am. Our table for Breakfast was in the bar although other guests were seated in the 1/2 empty dining room. We asked to move and were refused.
