I stayed at New Hotel de Lives during a very busy Easter weekend, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I was initially hesitant, worried it might have a motel vibe, but it was absolutely fine. The room in the new building was clean and cozy, and I really appreciated the bathtub - even though water leaked a bit through the glass. The location is great if you’re driving - free parking and easy access to the highway were major pluses. It’s also a short drive from Namur and Dinant, so perfect for exploring the area. Just keep in mind that you do need a car, as it’s in a remote area. There are no nearby restaurants or shops, so the on-site restaurant is a big benefit. It was popular with locals, and while the food was tasty, the menu was definitely on the pricey side (around €20+ for a burger). The breakfast didn’t offer a huge variety, but everything was fresh and delicious. It was a bit unusual to have to prepare your own bacon, eggs, and toast - especially since the appliances didn’t work on the first morning, though everything was fine after that. The staff was a standout. I was surprised and pleased that they spoke English so well. Special compliments to the young receptionist who was incredibly helpful-juggling both front desk duties and assisting with food service. The room itself was peaceful in terms of outside noise, but the sound insulation between rooms was lacking. I’ll just say that I became very aware of my neighbors’... enthusiastic activities throughout the night, banging walls... Housekeeping was excellent - my room was cleaned thoroughly and with care. The natural surroundings were beautiful, adding to the overall experience. For the price, it was an excellent value. I would definitely stay again.

-Bathroom glass panel leaked water while using bathtub, floor was soaking wet -Poor sound isolation between rooms -No clear instructions for cooking raw eggs or using the electric pan at breakfast -Limited staff availability outside of restaurant hours. There is no 24-hour reception, so if you need assistance late in the evening or early morning, it can be difficult to reach anyone. This could be inconvenient for late check-ins or if any issues arise during your stay -Very remote location – a car is a must -TV on the side wall at the weird angle, impossible to watch - Open closet without doors (smell from the restaurant getting into clothes)

Clean and comfortable. Pleasant staff. We arrived late in the evening after a difficult journey in torrential rain. The staff checked that the restaurant would still serve even although it was late. Very pleasant meal.

Everything was fine for us. The out of town location may not have suited other travellers so well.

The room was very comfortable. It was in a very scenic location, close to the motorway, for a break in my journey from the UK to Switzerland. Restaurant on site, food was ample good and well priced.

Some of the serving staff - one - was a bit surly. A menu full of interesting looking beers, but apparently only able to Stella Artois. He could not be bothered.

Comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and dinner (used one of their special restaurant offers!)

Extremely hot- especially at night. Had windows open but then woken at 5.30 by arriving car outside room !

The room is quiet and bed very comfortable with good bathroom. They offer bottles of water and a couple of coffee.

The wifi signal on room 28, which is the last of the new building, is not strong enough to maintain a connection. The TV has also no channel option.

Friendly staff with nice restaurant attached. Comfortable beds. We had ground floor rooms overlooking the carpark. Ideal as we had large pets with us.

Only coffee facilities. No kettle or tea available in the room. The shower leaks onto the floor no matter how we tried to stop it.

Hotel was well situated for our road trip. We were really pleased with the quality of the rooms that look they had been recently updated. Friendly service!

We weren't aware that we needed to book a table for dinner in advance as its quite a popular restaurant. Nonetheless there was a lovely italian place a few minutes away.

The location was excellent and easy to get too. The onsite restaurant was very convenient with a good menu.

There were no English language TV channels. But this wasn't really a problem.

Location for public transport, quality of restaurant food, great staff.

Bed very uncomfortable and small, noisy room, too hot. Sink did not hold water for a shave.

Our vehicles were parked at rear of property near to our windows (pets onboard). Comfortable bed. Serve yourself breakfast

No kettle in room or tea bags. Shower leaks over the floor. Toilet wobbled.
