Le Manoir du Capitaine

Great family room; short distance from Brussels (45 minute drive). Two toilets and separate bedrooms. Felt more like a suite than a family room. Small kitchenette area with fridge and cooking facilities.

The room was a great stay for a family. We got the Luxe room with two bedrooms all on one level. Which was great for traveling with small children. I understand the next sized room has stairs and I wouldn’t have wanted that with a baby but the room we got was perfect. We also had an actual bathtub, again, something that makes life easier when traveling with toddlers. The rooms look a bit outdated but we had everything we needed, it was peaceful, clean, a wonderful breakfast, and close to the Hallerbos and Brussels by 35-45 minutes. Would definitely choose it again. And all for a more affordable price than staying in the city.

Really nice, clean and spacious apartment at this hotel. Located in a beautiful village. Stayed with 3 kids. Very nice breakfast too.

We had traveled with two little kids and rented best available two bedroom suite. Our disappointment was that the suite was located on two levels and stairs were very unsafe - steep and no railing. Another prober was no cleaning in the room during our stay. Also, we were overcharged for extra services, now resolving this with Expedia.

Probably not the best stay we've had (family of 4), the hotel is located just outside what looks like a tired part of an inner city. On finally finding the hotel, the outside impression though is appealing, this does however greatly contrast with the experience you are greeted with when you go in in the door. The room we had was quite spacious, this was probably the only upside, the rest I'm afraid was not so positive. The room itself was a 2 bedroom family room, it was filled with dated furniture and had that musty smell of a room that had not had anyone in it for some time. The hotel did appear to be having some work done on it, perhaps trying to bring a bit of modernity to it? The bit my wife disliked the most though was the toilet, where there was a rather ugly stain (I think) on the floor. There could of course be a simple reason for this, i.e. too much cleaner on the tiled floor which had removed the floor surface, or it could be something else, we didn't investigate too much further. Last but not least the price...€130 per night, far far too much for what you get, the impression from the hotel's picture is a smart modern hotel in the countryside which would have met the price tag, for what we got (without breakfast which was extra) was far too much. Oh and by the way they do not have a restaurant serving evening meals, so if you turn up late you won't get anything to eat. Would I recommend this hotel - no, would I go back - I'll let you guess on that on that one!
