We stayed at this hotel twice, about two weeks apart. We came back the second time because we enjoyed it so much the first time.||The atmosphere is unique and pleasant. The town of Namur was unexpectedly charming, but this chateau is up in the hills outside of town. It’s very beautiful and quiet there and, by the time you reach it after navigating some winding roads you really do feel that you’ve arrived at a chateau rather than just an ordinary hotel.||I don’t know the exact history of the hotel but it has clearly been around a while and there is some variation from room to room. I wouldn’t call the rooms super modern but they are very comfortable and functional and a really great value for the price.||I don’t recall the name of the guy who works the evening shift but he is extremely friendly and helpful. The second time we stayed there he gave us a free upgrade to a luxury suite because it was quite late and, he reasoned, he might as well give an upgrade to a returning couple rather than have it sit empty. This is a great customer service attitude.||The only reason I am withholding a fifth star is that we received a call at 11:01 am the following morning complaining that we had passed the checkout time. Perhaps we had been told this at check-in, but neither of us remembered this and assumed that check-out was at noon. When we asked whether we could extend our checkout until noon, the woman told us that it was “too late” for that and that “we should have asked sooner,” because after 11 am it was only possible to extend checkout if she sent an email to the hotel manager and received timely permission from him. ||When we replied that we’d pack our things right away and check-out as soon as possible, she started asking me to commit to the exact time: 11:15? 11:20? All of this was unnecessary and completely inconsistent with everything else we experienced at this very fine hotel. Overall: highly recommended!
