This is a very nice and cosy boutique hôtel close the city center, at the bottom of the famous Citadelle. Rooms are very comfortable (decoration style is bold… you like it or not) and the real cherry on the cake is an excellent and affordable restaurant on site. Staff is super friendly and helpful. It was not my first time there and it won’t be the last.

Great fond6

What a find! Lovely, quirky place with enthusiastic staff. Some parking right there and big underground carpark with EV chargers not too far away. Right on the river with good access I to town. But we were too tired to leave the building for dinner, and that was great. Superb good choices and every tasted fantastic. Even if you weren't staying here, a great place for a quiet informal.meal.

The hotel is an amazing example of using space wisely, however you can only access the hot tub with a spa session which is misleading considering it’s listed as an amenity on Hotels.com. There was also no staff at the front desk when we arrived so our illegally parked car was stressful while we waited 10 minutes for someone to check us in and let us know what the parking options were with the hotel. Room decor was very hip and the place had a great vibe.

A fun place to spend a few nights when visiting Namur. The air-conditioning was great in the hot July weather when I visited and my little balcony, which I was not expecting, was a treat. I often travel solo and take Expedia's recommendation of the suitable room for solo travellers. My room had a single bed which had a comfortable mattress but was a bit on the small side for a 6ft2 man!

A bad experience

Noisy (the hotel provides ear plugs) & smelly bedding. Overall, a bad experience, with features listed on the website and that cost in fact a fortune ! As a frequent traveller, I think that it does not deserve 4 stars.

The air conditioning- if there was any- was certainly not working. It was very hot and the room never cooled down. The first thing I check when I travel abroad is to be sure the facility has air conditioning. I feel it was false advertising to say this property had air conditioning. The room was musty.

The Royal Snail is a great boutique hotel on the outskirts of town but very walkable. Free parking outside the property. Rooms were spacious and all staff were happy to help. Breakfast was good - only cold buffet on display however hot items could be made on request which was great as they were fresh! I really appreciated the omelette and bacon which was cooked for me! Restaurant was lovely with great food. It was busy with few staff however we never felt like we were neglected and they made sure we had everything we needed. Good selection of wines and specialist gin with many tonic options. The spa is quite pricey but beautiful, very small but a high standard - treatments need to be booked in advance as external staff cons to do these. The gym is small and functional (TV was missing from wall when we were there). The pool is really tiny - it’s a plunge pool more for decoration - would be great to have some big fish in it as not really a functional pool! The bedrooms are nice with the best mini bar I’ve had for years! Huge super king bed. Beware that some bedrooms have only a glass screen between the bedroom and bathroom with no privacy screen! Ours had a separate bathroom which was fine (6th floor). The TV really needs upgraded in the room - specified SMART TV but wasn’t - usually freebies channels only, no internet to cast devices or watch Netflix etc. I would highly recommend this hotel and definitely return!

Beware of fraudulent exit charges in this hotel

I asked to do laundry in their own in-house machine and staff agreed to it. I Dropped off my laundry and the hotel manager noticed it and told reception that the machine in question is not for washing customers' laundry, even though laundry room's marked as hotel properties @hotels.com website. The manager decided on his own, without asking us anything, to use them their external premium laundry service, which is available to use using separate order sheet in the room that must be filled out if it is used. When I later picked up the laundry, they told the cost was exactly the same as room hold. I never got any kind of receipt for the service either. I called hotels.com and they found this weird. Upon exit they told us to pay voluntarily smaller amount or they'll double charge the room hold using Hotels.com "no show" hold from my credit card. They did the fraudulent charge and I had to close my credit card in order to do the chargeback claim. The credit card company paid me back the amount and hotel is now in hot water with the credit card company due to fraudulent charge. I would avoid this hotel as the manager engineers services you did not order and does not give receipt for it and ultimately tries to trick you paying smaller amount which you cannot chargeback if you've voluntarily paid with PIN if you fall into his tricks. If you sort ratings starting from the worst, you can see the manager is very rude and calls bad ratings liars. They're not. Room was also loud.
