There seem to be few hotels in this area of Belgium optimised for business travel, but this one fitted our requirements very well for a five-night stay. It has a central location in Lommel (this is not the hotel on the ring road), with free overnight parking available on the square directly outside. There may be a couple of daytime restrictions during the week due to the local market, but the hotel staff will advise and there is another free park just a few minutes' walk away. On arrival, we received a very warm welcome, and a brief on the hotel's procedures. This is important as the reception is not staffed 24/7, though there is a phone on the desk to call should the requirement arise. The hotel is also what I would describe as functional. There is no bar, no gym, and they don't do dinner, though that was not an issue for us. Check in was super efficient, and I was soon in the lift to my fifth-floor room, best again described as functional, though quiet, clean and comfortable. The room was fitted with a TV, had a selection of tea / coffee facilities, and lots of storage space, plus a safe. It was also appointed with a microwave and sink, like a very mini kitchenette within one of the wardrobes. Breakfast was from 06:45 during the week, which again suited our business day requirements. It's not the biggest selection in the world, it's not designed to be or practical for it's size, but there was enough cereal, muesli, nuts, fruit, yoghurts, pastries and a few hot options to suit. Plus one of those large fresh orange machines where you feed to oranges into the top and it does the business for you. So no dinner or bar? This was not an issue since literally within two minutes' walk guests can find a number of bars, restaurants and coffee places, good ones too. Indeed, Lommel kept pleasantly surprising us. Knowing that this is a functional yet comfortable hotel in a convenient location, we had a really good stay and would readily recommend to book again.
Excellent
