Hotel Montanus

We ( my husband and I, my adult son and his girlfriend and my adult daughter, had a 3 night stay for my husbands 70th Birthday. We had 2 junior suites and a superior double in the main house. All of the rooms were beautifully spacious, well decorated, and very clean. Soft fluffy robes, slippers and gorgeous toiletries. The reception staff were helpful and provided us with a map and information about interesting areas to visit. The hotel was in a great location, in wonderfully tranquil quiet street yet only a 15/20 minute walk to the main Belfort square. We did not experience the breakfast, so cannot comment on it. However we did feel that at €30 a head so €150 for our family it seemed a little expensive. There were only 2 minor issues with the rooms, firstly selection of pods with the coffee machine were a little hit and miss! And there were rarely sufficient creamers!! And secondly the room came with only 1 bottle of complimentary water, which I feel was just filled by the tap as the bottle did not look that clean! It was not exchanged on the 2nd day in any of our three rooms. When my son asked at reception - he was told that it would be an additional charge !!! we purchased 2lt bottled water for all three rooms from a supermarket on the main square. As we used this to fill the coffee machine reservoir. As it was very awkward trying to fill it from the bathroom sink taps!

The whole hotel, inside and out has been beautifully designed. Take a period building and tastefully bring it up to a high specification. The two rooms I saw, the showers were perfect for less abled visitors looking for level access to shower facilities. The decor was stylish and practical. The Resturant was very special and must be tried during your stay. The fridge in the room was just right. Not too big but just right to keep the chocolate in perfect condition to travel home. The gardens were just perfect, and we can’t wait to return to see it all in summer should the occasion come.

The hotel was lovely with very helpful staff, we stayed in the garden rooms. As it was the Christmas Market we could walk into the centre in about 10 minutes, a nice scenic route,but away from all the crowds when we went back to the hotel. We didn't eat at the hotel as we walked out but the Restaurant looked very nice and was busy every evening. Has a secure car park and a lovely garden if the weather is good to sit out.

Location v gd…. Getting cab was diff on that day… so walked… cobblestones made it a bit diff… Hotel v cosy n comfortable… Rooms a bit small… esp the garden view ones… The tea/ kofe machines were gd… wires a bit small… so had to juggle a bit! The TV position a bit wrong… at head level… so can hit you if not careful… recommend to change it! Breakfast delicious… kind of makes up for everything! But for the cost… rooms shud be a bit spacious!

The property is beautiful - I love the garden and water feature. For us the location was perfect as we loved the park and lake/green space, and this hotel is between that and the very centre of the city (still very walkable). I actually preferred being just outside the busiest area. Also, the beds were so comfortable! I slept the best here out of anywhere we stayed in Belgium. Very quiet and pretty.
