Resor till Geel

Old and tired hotel, in need of refurbishment. No shuttle from the airport, which makes the transport complicated... 1.5 km from the nearest bus station (by night, the path it seems being in the middle of nowhere) and 700 m from the train station. The shuttle dissapeared during the pandemic and the hotel never bothered to reintroduce it. An Uber/ Bolt from the airport cost 20 - 25 euros. The 4 stars are 3 and look like 2. The TV in the room has only a few channels available, a menu that will take you a while to understand and it takes its time to respond to the commands... if it ever responds. If you have a car, they will charge you 18 euros/ day. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom and good breakfast.

The property is wonderful; with potential to be somrthing spectacular even as a hotel. It’s not clear if the hotel has the ambition to be a five star and compete with Amigo and Juliana or if they settle for beeing a nice four star. It’s all in the details. Last time they had a menu a la carte for eggs, this time only on buffet. No slippers in the room. No workplace in the room. It is not ok with only semi-functional Nespresso at breakfast. Otherwise terrific.
