Le Sanglier des Ardennes

We had lunch at L’orangerie of this hotel. Unfortunately: avoid this nice looking place ! We expected to have a decent lunch based on how the place looked from the outside. It turned out to be a total disaster: the service proved to be astonishingly bad and the food/drinks totally overpriced. That an order doesn’t come through or the wrong dish or drink is being brought to the table can happen. But while we were there it happened to the table behind us, two other tables in the room and our table. That could perhaps be a funny situation if there is good service but the waitress with the tight bun and the big glasses was more the waitress from hell. We were treated as if we had done something to her instead of the other way around. She refused to speak English or made no effort at all to understand our attempt to speak French (the menu of this fancy hotel is in three languages!) and even without words the problem was crystal clear: one of us got his main but the other got nothing. The table behind us had a similar problem and was treated even worse. It was a total train wreck. Prices are insane: a simple example: The Langhe Nebiolo that was on the menu per glass (12 euro) was unavailable, there was just a simple Gamay but we were charged the same whooping 12 euro per glass. We checked: the whole bottle can be bought for 16 euro online. If you pour approximately 6 to 7 glasses out of a bottle they make an easy 60 to 70 euro profit on mediocre wine.|Yes it was an experience at this Orangerie but far from a good one … run!

HIGH QUALITY HOTEL the downside is you can hear the loud bar music and people having fun until 11pm in the evening. And the room lights, they have only lamps everywhere. But overall is great!

Dark. Is what i remember of it. Too many black colours. The reception is fine and relaxed. Not super but ok. The helpers to get your car parked and help your luggages seem to have the most understanding on how to treat guests well; they always welcome the guests and are always ready. This is 5 star, so it needs to be perfect. The elevators are a bit dirty. The hallway to the rooms are rather dark. The entry in the room is so dark you need a flashlight. About lights,.. the light system is terrible. On/Off is it pushing up or down, it behaves in annoying difficulty. Great we could fit a small bit in our superior room, still the room was cramped then though. Minibar, rather basic. Garbage bin, is there a smaller bin available? Curtains, crap. If i want dark, then it is at night. The curtain is not fully darkening. It is in fact wrongly placed and the way it is put can never shut out daylight decently. Hotel lacked a pool, so we didn’t check out the spa area. A welcome drink is offered, but is time constrained, not possible after 5pm, so no drink for you. Like they don’t have a fridge to store cava or whatever to pour a drink after 5pm. Parking, is all the way behind the hotel on a hill. One electric charger available. Thankfully the personnel can take care of it. Idle fees apply..Wine cellar is available, unclear the point of it, not advertised. An underground connection is available to connect the Brusserie with the hotel, useful. Gym, 3 machines. Probably the smallest gym i have seen. You can subscribe to the “gym” for 20eu per month. Imagine. Down below are art galleries. Breakfast, maybe the highlight if any. Very nice flavours all over. From fresh honey, chocolate, croissants to waffles and real fresh juice without added water. Great coffee as well. Crowded though even till the last moment. Pushed to eat not, you can take your time. Aside of the breakfast thus not terribly impressive this hotel. We stayed in August…

[reviewing spa only] My partner recently booked us a spa day with massages for our anniversary - and wow our experience truly exceeded expectations. We somehow had no idea we would get the entire wellness area to ourselves. Staff were friendly and helpful. The entire wellness area was immaculate. The views of Durbuy were beautiful. It was really a special day and we’re already chatting about a return to stay in the hotel itself! Thank you!

It was a unforgettable experience. From the time you arive the staff made us feel welcome with their hospitality. The room was well equipped and decorated with a view over the town square. The wellness area was a highlight of the stay. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options all prepared well

My partner and I recently stayed at Hotel Sanglier in Durbuy, and it was perfect for a romantic getaway! On the hotel atmosphere had a very cozy vibe to it. Our room was beautifully decorated and it was spacious. The staff for welcoming and always equal to help. The breakfast was wonderful which offered quite a variety of options. This spa was a highlight. They had a lot of services such as massages which we went for and their staff were really skilled. And their in-house restaurant which was superb, and we enjoyed with great wine and food. The location is ideal right in the heart of Durby which is a very quiant town. Hopefully, we return to this hotel if we come to Belgium.

Reviewing the Restaurant alone. Had come to play a round of golf at the 5 Nations Course with a group of friends... and ate at this really nice place - Considering that they have a cellar with 22,000 wines, and have a unique Tapas menu, getting through the order (we were a group of 9) seemed quite confusing, but once we got going, was really good and ambience was top notch. Be prepared to wait for good food - with unique flavours. The wines we ordered were excellent too. A long evening, culminated in a few nightcaps and very friendly service personnel at the cigar lounge and bar.

A very good, tidy, and clean hotel with polite and kind staff, and an exceptionally excellent breakfast with a very wide variety and high quality. It had a wide range of useful and practical amenities.|The only issue was the hallway to the rooms, which was dark and had very little lighting.😉😃||
