Radisson Blu Balmoral Hotel, Spa

"Go to the spa competition, good location"

Van der Valk Hotel Spa

"Große Lage."

La Villa des Fleurs

"Sehr schönes Gebäude. außergewöhnlich sauber und gut gepflegt. Ausgezeichnete Lage nur fünf Minuten von Spa-Eisenbahn Stn. Schönes Frühstücksbuffet und jede Art von Eiern gekocht zu Ihrem Gefallen. Zimmer überblickte den Garten. Bad unbeschädigt. Ruhig und ruhig bleiben. Es scheint groß zu sein, ohne Parkplätze, obwohl wir nicht verwendet haben, als wir mit dem Zug aus Brüssel kamen."

Silva Hotel Spa-Balmoral

Hotel La Reine

"Wir sind dort mit einem guten BONGO gefahren. Unverletzliche Service, Freundlichkeit und freundlichkeit des Personals. Die Mahlzeit 3 Services war unverletzlich. Es ist sehr zu empfehlen. Eine sehr schöne Entdeckung."

Les Bains De Spa

"Tolles Ambiente, freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist sehr schön, die Bettenbequem, im Bad genügend Ablageflächen. Zentrale Lage in Spa. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis trotz Formel 1-Wochenende völlig in Ordnung. Aus meiner Sicht gibt es aber ein absolutes No-Go: die Fenster lassen sich nicht öffnen, auch nicht im Bad und auch nicht durch das Personal (letzteres versteht diese Entscheidung der Geschäftsführung auch überhaupt nicht). Also: wenn man nicht, wie wir, Frischluft zum Schlafen mag, ist es eine Empfehlung."

Hotel-Restaurant L'Auberge

"Unless there’s somewhere special I have in mind, I tend to have a habit of patronising the restaurant attached to the accommodation I have booked. At this stage I have only booked a single night in Spa. At dinner I notice there are no ashtrays on the tables. I ask if this is a smoke free restaurant. The waiter tells me that at the moment no one is smoking, but they are allowed to smoke if they wish. I ask if I can move if someone starts smoking. No! Once you sit down, you cannot move. {emphasis on the full stop} Okay, so I’m paying over $100 for dinner and if some inconsiderate wants to smoke and ruin my night, then I have to just suck it all up. After that conversation, the waiter now serves me without eye contact. The food is placed on the table, he utters something in French and briskly walks away. There is no explanation as to what is in the soup of the day. The table next to me appears to have ordered soup of the day as well, but it is a completely different colour. So did I get yesterday’s leftovers. To those who speak French he jokes and smiles – the ultimate shmoozer. In the French part of Belgium, no one seems to speak English. Not an issue – it’s their country – but the change from the Dutch part to the French part is interesting. I am now looked down upon for not speaking their local language. I get the whole language thing, but as an Australian coming to Europe for a couple of months, am I really expected to learn 5 or 6 differnt languages to make everyone happy. As to the waiter; his shoes are cheap; his pants are too long as he can’t be bothered taking them up and they are sliding down under his pot belly since he’s not wearing a belt. Yet somewhere in his mind he is above me in status without knowing a single thing about me. After both waiters ignore me for ages, he finally comes to collect my glass. He looks at me with raised eyebrows. There is no verbalised question as to whether I would like another glass of wine, more a disdainful look – he will not lower himself to utter words to someone less than himself. I request another glass and ask if it could be in a bigger glass, explaining that Pinot Noir needs to breathe – I was initially served a much smaller glass than every other table. Hmmpph. Okay He placed the glass on my table and walked away as quickly as he could with no eye contact. I raised my palms to the sky in exasperation as he walked away. He approached me a few minutes later and told me that his fellow waitress had claimed I was still asking him a question when he walked away. I explained why I felt aggrieved and he told me that he was sorry I had interpreted things this way. After dinner I walk across the square to anothet hotel who gives me an air conditioned room for 10% less for the following night. "

Hôtel l'Ecrin d'Ô

"We were made very welcome by Thierry, for whom nothing is too much trouble. Our room was spacious and extremely comfortable, and quiet, being at the back of the house. The building dates to the early 1900s when Spa was a booming health resort, and it has been tastefully renovated by the owners. The breakfast buffet offers a comprehensive range of options - do try the Sirop de Liege - pure concentrated pear and apple juice."
