Hostellerie Affligem

For a low-cost stop while passing through, this place is worth considering. The rooms are adequate, and although there’s no central air, you can open the ceiling windows. It did get pretty noisy at night and in the morning, but the stay was great value.

The breakfast staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast itself was okay, though nothing special. The apartment, on the other hand, was one of the worst we’ve stayed in: it was dirty and damaged, some of the lights didn’t work properly, and everything in the bathroom was rusty. There was no warm water either. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

The food was good and the rooms were great, though, as expected, it was very expensive. I’d still rather pay than have cheap, horrible food. The toilet setup was a first for me, though: there’s no door, so your family can watch you sitting there if they feel like it. 😃

I’m really glad I found this lovely little hotel. The owner and staff deserve credit for the quality and service. The rooms were so homely and well presented that I’d happily live in one. I arrived ridiculously late, after hours, but when I called, someone went out of their way to make sure I got in safely. My cards had been stolen the day before, and they even offered me some free things in the morning as a goodwill gesture. I was also towing a huge double jetski trailer, which had caused problems pretty much everywhere else. Here it was fine, thanks to the hotel’s own huge car park with CCTV.
