This is a very nice and cosy boutique hôtel close the city center, at the bottom of the famous Citadelle. Rooms are very comfortable (decoration style is bold… you like it or not) and the real cherry on the cake is an excellent and affordable restaurant on site. Staff is super friendly and helpful. It was not my first time there and it won’t be the last.
It is a very nice boutique hotel in Namur (probably unique as far as I know). The restaurant is excellent. Only the breakfast could be improved. But overall, a really pleasant stay.
A fun place to spend a few nights when visiting Namur. The air-conditioning was great in the hot July weather when I visited and my little balcony, which I was not expecting, was a treat.
I often travel solo and take Expedia's recommendation of the suitable room for solo travellers. My room had a single bed which had a comfortable mattress but was a bit on the small side for a 6ft2 man!
Nice location on the river, and although the pool isn't a swimming pool - more of a plunge pool - it was nice to cool off in. We would have stayed there longer but left due to the number of smokers; unfortunately in a courtyard area like that it's hard to get away from other people's smoke! Our room was a little tired - could do with a paint to freshen it up - and we struggled to find enough sockets to charge our electrical items. Staff were very helpful and kindly let us use the garage to park our motorbikes in overnight. It's a 15-20 min walk to the area where all the main bars/restaurants are, but there's a lot going on in the town so it's worth the walk. Barman made a great mojito!
Riverview was good. Tub shower unit good size. The restaurant was only open 4 days a week for 3 hours. Maybe low season? The desk clerk served me drinks in the bar even when the bar was closed, that was above and beyond. Overall we were happy there.
The room was tightly packed with a large bed, desk, wardrobe, etc. which made it a bit cramped. It was a cozy cramped however and the room was very nicely decorated except for the giant picture of the scary looking hippt ladies over the bed.
Although the room was nice, in the hallway as I got off the elevator to get to the room, there was a strong smell of sewage.

Room was small, lots of space taken up with an inexplicably large desk. River view was actually view of the road and car park then the river. Expensive for what it was.
Misleading images on the website. The pool is more like a small aquarium. The room they first showed us did not even have a window in the bedroom area - felt like a cave. They told us they were fully booked - after insisting a bit more they suddenly still had a room available. Not much better. Tiny window in the main room. Access to small balcony with glass door is from the bathroom area ..?! Interior has seen better days - I would guess it has not been updated in 15+ years..
What a find! Lovely, quirky place with enthusiastic staff. Some parking right there and big underground carpark with EV chargers not too far away.
Right on the river with good access I to town. But we were too tired to leave the building for dinner, and that was great. Superb good choices and every tasted fantastic. Even if you weren't staying here, a great place for a quiet informal.meal.
The hotel is an amazing example of using space wisely, however you can only access the hot tub with a spa session which is misleading considering it’s listed as an amenity on Hotels.com. There was also no staff at the front desk when we arrived so our illegally parked car was stressful while we waited 10 minutes for someone to check us in and let us know what the parking options were with the hotel. Room decor was very hip and the place had a great vibe.
