Hotel Bel Air Trail & Wellness

Hotel Bel Air Trail & Wellness - never judge a book by its cover or a hotel by its online photos! Hotel Bel Air is beyond tired and lost the will to live around the same time as Adolf. It requires a complete physical and emotional overhaul. There’s no working pool, conveniently omitted online and by staff when booking. What was a pool is now a ‘relaxing think tank’, with loungers to lie in, gaze up at the ceiling, and dream of what it must have been like to float around. A true anti-climax. Similarly, the sky-blue fountain was in reality toxic green. Nemo would have preferred to remain lost, or even deep-fried and served with chips than hang out here. The rooms? Well they are deceased by hotel standards, with 100% intruder-proof flooring as every inch appears to squeak. As you remain motionless on your bed, for fear of disturbing anyone, the rattle, clonk, smash of the hotel trolley pushed by employees penetrates the airwaves. Noise travels like an American complaining in this place. All guests had the same grievances. Dinner in the empty restaurant somehow required advance booking, presumably to prepare the freezer. The maître d’ alternated between charismatic and inconvenienced, his life imploding every 20 minutes. Can only imagine the ambience we experienced is similar to the Dignitas waiting room, quiet, soulless, yet strangely comforting in knowing that soon it will all be over. There was no feeling of wellness upon leaving, only a very long trail of deep, profound regret. Not worth the money. Not worth any money. We learned the manager was the daughter of the former owner, so perhaps there’s a grand refurb planned, we hope so; despite our miserable stay there was evidently a past. And if there is to be a future, why not be honest with guests upfront and downplay expectations? I’m sure all the stops are pulled for wedding events when the sun’s shining, but can’t imagine any hotel surviving like this. The staff bar one were charming and helpful, but could not sell a ‘once was’ establishment. Even the red elephant appeared to be running away. We had booked for longer, but fate had other plans; hallelujah, we vacated early.

Prachtige locatie met parking naast hotel op wandelafstand van het dorp. Ruime kamers, wel beetje verouderd maar proper. Vriendelijk personeel. Zowel ontbijt als avondmaal zijn een aanrader. Enige minpunten waren wel de welness en fitness. Het binnenzwembad was niet meer gevuld en de fitnessruimte is vergane glorie die beter zou gesloten worden (of vernieuwd).

Tout était parfait, de notre arrivée à notre départ , le personnel , l établissement , le dîner et le petit déjeuner , la gentillesse, l écoute ...

Ficamos por 4 dias no hotel e gostamos bastante. A decoração é bem à moda antiga, e por isso aconchegante. Atendimento foi perfeito: funcionários muito prestativos. Meu filho de 8 anos adorou a piscina com hidromassagem e a sala de relaxamento com cadeiras quentes. Jantamos apenas uma noite no hotel, pois não gostamos muito do cardápio para crianças. Mas o café da manhã estava muito bom. A vista da nossa janela era de frente para uma floresta linda. Duas reclamações do meu filho: o chafariz atrás do hotel estava sem água / só havia um canal para crianças na tv e era em francês.

sehr gute Küche, schönes Ambiente

De prijs is niet in verhouding met wat geboden wordt. De romantische kamer met uitzicht op het bos vermeld niet dat er een drukke weg tussen het hotel en het bos loopt. De tuin deed wat verwaarloosd aan. Het zwembad waarom we dit hotel gekozen hadden..... Helaas geen water maar wel hometrainers en ligbedden in het bad. Het ontbijt was op zich prima, misschien beter om het ontbijt niet in de volle zon te plaatsen. Kortom best een aardig verblijf maar niet in verhouding tot de prijs van 172 euro voor 1 nacht met ontbijt.
