Romantik Hotel Le Val d'Amblève

Stayed here for one night en route back home. Aside from the busy(ish) road, this is a great place to stay. Rooms quite modern, comfortable and well equipped to a very good standard. The patio and gardens are great for pre dinner drinks and canapés, weather permitting (which it was). The dining room is great and striking in its design, then comes the food which we could not fault (nor did we try to!). A great base for touring and within easy reach of the circuit (but beware it gets pre booked a long way in advance). Finally has secure, off road parking.

This was a real find and in mid August and very hot, it was lovely to sit on the shaded terrace for drinks before dinner. We went as a party of 16 car nuts and the staff could not have been more helpful. We had 2 delicious dinners in the restaurant where the food was so beautifully presented, original dishes all very well executed. We had a large fan in our very large bedroom, with a large bed, which was all very comfortable. A super stay in a lovely hotel.

In the heart of the Ardennes, just outside Stavelot lies, upwards from the street level, the 'Romantik Hotel Le Val d'Amblève', a hotel with 24 rooms, a restaurant, 2 meeting rooms, a sauna, hammam and a panoramic roof terrace with a view of the valley of the Ambleve. The original country house, annex restaurant and 2 meeting rooms, accommodates 3 rooms and 1 suite, the other 14 are located in a building opposite the house, together with a sauna and haman. Each room has a bath/shower and toilet, HD television, telephone, hairdryer, bathrobes and slippers. The villa 'Le jardin des Princes' 300m down the road, offers an additional 6 rooms and a lounge on the 2nd floor where guests can enjoy a coffee, tea or a book as they wish. The restaurant (also the breakfast room) with its adjacent, spacious terrace has an intimate, warm and stylish decor, which promotes the casual atmosphere. If you prefer, you can enjoy your pre-dinner drinks in one of the lounges. Large windows provide sufficient light all year round and during the summer months they open, so the inside reaturant and outdoors terrace join together. The shaded terrace is ideal to have breakfast or to enjoy drinks, to have lunch or dinner, in good company on a warm summer evening. The restaurant kitchen is classic French in characteristics, using only fresh, regional products served as light dishes and specialities of the region. Whatever the choice, lunch, à la carte, a menu choice (Romantik, Gourmand or Degustation) or the 4-course menu Soiré, it all makes anyone's stay into a wonderful experience. Larger groups, up to 120 people, are also welcome for private events or business meetings. For those arriving by car, there is free parking space on the hotel grounds. Dogs are allowed to stay, there will be a surcharge of € 15 per night.

We arrived after a long hike in the surrounding nature. The reception was very friendly and the receptionist guided us to our room, which was located in a separate building from the restaurant. The room was spacious and very clean. There was a bath and a small balcony. In addition, the hotel had a very nice sauna. Breakfast was basic, but very good and in a stunning restaurant. I recommend the hotel.

Really charming hotel with beautiful touches and attention to detail with a warm, personable approach from the moment we arrived. Nicely designed with very comfortable room. Really lovely terrace leading to the garden, for drinks and dinner on a summers evening. Would 100% stay here if we return.

I was over-charged at the restaurant, which the hotel admitted, but no refund has been made. It's a shame as I spent about £800 there for a 2-day visit. I will take my business elsewhere next month when I am back in Belgium.

Uitstekend romantisch hotel met culinair hoogstaand restaurant... Idéaal om speciale gelegenheid met vrienden of partner te vieren... Huisdier welkom. Zeer ruime kamer en gratis laden auto mogelijk... Gelegen in een verzorgd park ...

Nous avons réservé une table pour deux il y a deux mois, afin d’avoir une place. Nous avons été mal reçu. Premièrement nous avons pris notre apéritif au alentours de 19h 15 jusqu’à peu près 19h45 devant la cheminée. Ensuite nous avons été installés à une table se trouvant devant le bar et dans un courant d‘air sans parler du va et vient des serveurs. Le restaurant était sois disant plein selon le serveur. Il restait une table dans un coin où des seaux étaient rangés?! Pourquoi pas ailleurs! Nous avons demandé pour être déplacés. En vingt ils ont refusés. Ensuite, le menu laisse sérieusement à désirer. Dans un tel établissement, on ne s’attend pas à voir un menu avec une formule ou obligatoirement on doit prendre un boudin de faisan qui n‘a pas aucunement un goût ni même une apparence d‘un faisan. Si je veux du boudin je vais à la boucherie. Ensuite nous avons goûté le gibier sauce grand veneur qui certes était bon ( un peu sec) mais en quantité économique ( 2 petits morceaux dans une grande assiette…) Pour terminer nous avons remplacé le dessert par une assiette de fromage, les fromages sur cette assiette n‘avaient aucun caractère. Le dessert était une Pina Colada, elle n’avait rien à faire la bas. Nous sommes en novembre. L’accompagnement en vins était correct mais servi trop en quantité et servi chaud. En conclusion, vu le standing de cet établissement on s’attend à beaucoup mieux. Nous avions été agréablement surpris la première fois il y a deux ans. Mais depuis lors, l’établissement a bien changé. Quantité maigre, carte économique a des prix très élevés, service moyennement agréable. Il suffit de regarder autour de sois il n‘y a plus que des étrangers.
