Stayed in this B & B on 27th May 2017, arrived after a long ride from Bastogne in 30 degree heat. To find such a welcoming place with easy check in and most importantly air conditioning was a huge surprise. The room was clean & tidy with a very comfortable bed and a clean shower. I'll def be staying again at this chains hotels on next year's tour.

“Surprisingly good for a budget hotel, but needs redecorating”

A real no frills experience, reception 24 hours, lots of contractors stay here. The room was OK but dated, with a noisy uncontrollable air conditioning system which stopped working during the night and sprang into life before we left - the unit has not been cleaned for years, it was filthy and full… more

A real no frills experience, reception 24 hours, lots of contractors stay here. The room was OK but dated, with a noisy uncontrollable air conditioning system which stopped working during the night and sprang into life before we left - the unit has not been cleaned for years, it was filthy and full of dust. . It is set in a retail area out of town but we took advantage of looking around. Overall a reasonable quality sleep. Car parking is public parking opposite. Good for a one night stopover.

Three of us on a motorcycle tour stopped over for one night on 18th July 2017. The Maubeuge Louvroil is in a commercial sector and no frills should be expected. As such, there is no bar and a work's style canteen for breakfast. a fridge in reception holds several types of bottled beer and soft drinks. It serves a purpose. On the plus side, beds are very confortable and the showeres are large - unusual in this type of hotel. The air con is also very good. Parking for cars is a public car park outside the door. Staff are obliging and allowed us to park our motorbikes in a secure large disused store room. A huge shopping centre is a few minute's walk away, and you'll find a nice restaurant there with self service and over the counter meals available. On our arrival, the receptionist was very helfpul and friendly. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the night porter when we went for breakfast. We had to insist on the breakfast shown in the photographs posted on the walls in reception. He at first tried to tell us that we were too late for the cooked breakfast. We had to point out the time and the photographs before he reluctantly agreed to make our breakfast. This, given the prelude, left us wondering what our food underwent before it arrived. In the end it was, frankly, almost inedible. The scrambled eggs were a mush of off-yellow substance and the bacon was strips of fatty meat in oil that he served in a single deep bowl. I'm an experienced traveller and acknowledge that eggs and bacon are not the same the world over, but this felt like an intentional effort to provide an awful meal. Hunger won the vote but, even then, we ate only half of it. We later stopped off for another breakfast en route. I'm pushed to recommend the place, so will limit myself to saying it'll do as a stop over for groups, perhaps simply wanting somewhere to lay their head.
