Hotels near Grand Casino de Dinant, Dinant

The location of the hotel is a bit biased, but it doesn't matter to the car, it is easy to find by navigation. There is free parking in front of the hotel, next to a small restaurant, beer and fast food. Hotel facilities are acceptable, very quiet at night.

We stayed here for one night and must say we were a bit reluctant having read previous reviews. Luckily there were not any major issues with our stay, but it was still a bit frustrating to see how they threw away such a good potential. To take the positives first, the location is nice and secluded and the room we got at least seemed to be partially updated recent years. There were still some old furniture with stains, but paint and doors seemed new(er). The outside area between the main buildings with a terrace and a grill was also nice. If you wandered a bit further though, that's where you see the decline. What seemed to be a basket & tennis court in addition to a miniature golf course are just left to rot. That's not something that require heavy maintenance to keep in order, so that's just laziness, and something that would have made the hotel much better and catered to families in a whole different way. The water in the indoor swimming pool was also freexing cold, probably another cost saving activity. In addition, when we came to breakfast about 10 minutes before closing, pretty much everything was picked out. When staff came out and took some of the trays I expected them to refill and restock, but instead they just took them away. This left us with very few options and is not acceptable from a serious hotel. If breakfast times are until 10, you should get the same experience no matter if you show up at 8 or 9.50. Again, this is laziness and cost saving, but seems like an implemented routine. All in all, this has the potential to be a great hotel, but that requires willingness from the management. Right now, that doesn't seem to be existing.

My second stay. Quite convenient if we go by car to namur. A lot of furniture interior shop around (unexpected, but nice). 10 min to city center by car. There are a few bus from city with stop in front of hotel, but the frequency is like 1hr or more. Parking is great at the hotel. Room is good, chic and large. The bar is nice.

Room was clean. Bed was very comfy. We were out sightseeing most of the time so didn't spend much time in the hotel or use the amenities. An iron in the room would have been handy but otherwise had all we needed. Nice touch of the 'emergency champagne' in the wall cabinet but we resisted.

From the outset I have to say that at the Mercure hotel in Namur the food was fine and the staff wonderful. We arrived in Namur on a Sunday evening and parking was not easy to find. In the end we used the car park next to the hotel / ******, thankfully only half-price for hotel guests. That evening we eat in the hotel. My wife and myself had two courses, she had a starter and main and myself a main course and desert. The house red was very mediocre. Evidently the hotel, like many in the tourism / hospitality business, had a shortage of staff. Evidenced by the awkward silences of the diners as they looked pleadingly towards the serving hatch. We saw the video loop on holiday adverts at least six times. Make the adverts longer and or the service quicker. Just after the two-hour mark a spoon arrived. Some 10 minutes later it was accompanied by a rhubarb tartlet. A word of advice for the staff, please serve a tartlet with a spoon and a knife. The result of cutting the tartlet with a spoon results in two halves flying off in opposite directions. On a more serios note the excellent showers do need a non-slippery base. For all the criticism above we would stay again at the Mercure Namur. Everything else including TV stations was fine.

Two nights including New Year's Eve. The welcome and the service are warm. The very clean spacious room with shower and bathtub. The pool is warm, bathrobes are in the room and towels are available at the pool. The breakfasts are very generous, eggs offered with the desired cooking method, pancakes etc. And the meals: we really enjoyed ourselves. Succulent and particularly well presented dishes for a very reasonable price considering the quality. The surprise for New Year's Eve: a box of chocolates and fireworks at midnight. It is not surprising that there is also a regular clientele. We are considering perhaps going back next year for New Year's Eve.
