Van Der Valk Sélys Liège Hotel & Spa

OK, I booked this hotel sometime ago on Expedia. When we arrived, all of the suites in our class were booked, and without asking, they upgraded us to a different kind of suite. When we open the door, we were shocked to see that the thing was the size of an apartment, it had two bathrooms and office the living room Bedroom and one of the bathrooms was absolutely huge. Very surprising. The room had about seven or eight windows across the entire back of the hotel and the view was fabulous. The hotel is super nice and the people were nice. On the bottom level of the hotel is a great pool and hot tub area. The water in both pools was absolutely perfect and we basically had the thing to our self the whole time. The hotel is close to lots of things and is really quiet at nice. I think it’s a can’t miss. The only thing that I could add is that it’s almost impossible to get ice in this hotel, to be clear I’m an American and we like ice. I had to ask the bartender for ice each time and while he gave it to me. It was kind of uncomfortable each time. Sorry, I almost forgot to tell you there’s a great private courtyard that you can sit at with small tables and umbrellas. We bought a bottle of wine at a local store and sat and sip wine on the patio and it was fabulous.

We had a very nice stay at this hotel. It’s located in a beautiful spot and the architecture is very nice. It looks like the hotel is draped over and around a hill, lovely and beautiful. The room was clean and tidy, the staff was friendly and the spa facilities they offer are good. We had a lovely massage and enjoyed the pool and spa. Breakfast was very decent, we also had dinner which was pretty good. Minus point was that when we went to check out and they tried to charge us for a bill that wasn’t ours. They presented us with a brunch bill that was supposedly ours, which was not. Luckily it was rectified very quick but we had read before hand in reviews that stuff like this happens very often at this hotel. I have no idea if it’s sloppyness or if they do this on purpose trying to make some extra cash. But overall we had a nice time here.

We honestly thought this has to be one of the highlights visiting Liege. A very cool and modern hotel, that metropolitan vibe with great outdoor service areas such as a rooftop bar and fumidor for cigar connossieurs. We had dinner in the hotel and the food was tasty. The service had room for improvement but was still enough for us to enjoy ourselves.
