Hotel De Notelaer

Sehr bemühte Inhaber, hervorragender Service und wirklich gute Küche, hätten wir hier nicht erwartet. Einziger Schwachpunkt sind die regelmäßigen regionalen Züge, die 2o Meter entfernt vorbei fahren. Das merkt man aber nur beim Essen auf der Terrasse. Im Zimmer war davon nichts zu hören. Aufgrund der hohen Außentemperaturen muss man Nachts Fenster und Terassentür öffnen. Es gibt allerdings kein Mückengitter am Fenster.

Een zeer warme kamer terwijl de buitentemperatuur maar rond de 20 graden was. Geen airco, geen hor. 30€ voor pover ontbijt

While on a boat tour of Belgium for vacation, my mother became extremely sick and had to be taken off the boat and brought by ambulance to the nearest hospital, which was in Bornem. I had to make a last-moment reservation at a hotel within walking distance, and there aren't many hotels in Bornem, so De Notelaer was the first place I called to book a room. I explained the situation with my mother in the hospital, and upon check-in they charged me extra as a "tourist fee" and told me they required me to pay for the first night up front before they would give me a room. The room was dated, definitely more of a motel than a hotel. It was very, very hot. They do not offer A/C in the hotel, and there was only one tiny square window to the outside that provided zero airflow. It was 82 degrees F that day, and my room got up to 90F. I spent most of that day at the hospital with my mother and her care team. That evening I returned to the hotel around 6:45PM to find the dining room completely empty, and so I left again to find a restaurant nearby. When I returned about 8:30PM, the front desk asked if I would be staying the next night as well. I replied that it would depend on if my mother was released from the hospital, and so I would let them know the next morning after talking to her doctor. I slept poorly and sweated all night long in that incredibly hot room. Funny, because during my shower that morning there was zero hot water. At 10AM I stopped at the front desk and told them I would let them know shortly if I was staying a second night, and the front desk told me that now there were no vacancies; they had already booked my room and I would need to check out by noon that day. These are awful people and I would never, ever choose to return to this crappy hotel. Avoid it if you can. I wish I could have stayed at the hospital instead.

The guy at the reception was very nice and helpfull. Parking was limited but sufficient.

It was really hot, no AC just a fan. The windows could open but no screens to keep the bugs out. Windows opened to a roof that had stair access. Scary to sleep with windows open. The train station is like 50m away, easy for travel but not for quality of sleep. No wifi. Breakfast was pretty expensive for what was available.

The breakfast was enough and the location is excellent, immediately next to the train station and we could walk into town easily

I would have preferred bacon and sausages and tomatoes for breakfast

Large room Nice beds

No Thea and Coffee in the room, which is quite common these days. Broken equipment (lights in bathroom, main electrical (card)switch) Very minimal breakfast (for 15 euro)

Dommage pour le parking et il parle le Anglais pas de français

The service and dinner were satisfying

The breakfast was poor: no coffee, only few Bread was left, no cheese and jam were on the table, one cold egg was left😠
