Christmas Break to see local Christmas Markets
Veröffentlicht am 04.01.2016
This was good as a base to travel to the markets in Leige, Cologne and Brussels. The markets were OK but more about food and drink than specifically Christmas. The hotel seemed to cater for pamper breaks and spa weekends for the native French/Belgiums. It was not very international i.e. the barman did not speak English, there was no english menu, no english TV etc. As we were just using the hotel as a base this was not a big problem, almost everyone outside spoke english so we did OK. The outside naturally heated pool was a great experience even though the weather was not too cold for December. The saunas and steam rooms were OK but nothing special.No drinking water was provided, you have to buy it, although some type of tea was provided. As guests were expected to swin, have saunas, shower etc. it was strange that you were given one towel on arriving and expected to need no more! My wife had a massage and enjoyed it. Water from the shower in the room overflowed the shower area into the bedroom and made the carpet wet everytime it was used. This seemed to be a long standing problem judging from the staining on the carpet.
