Auberge de Barrier - Houthalen - Belgium

We've stayed the night in auberge 'de Barrier' in Houthalen. This large domaine is ideal for parties and diners. Top of the bill is the 1* Michelin restaurant 'Inesto'.

The hotel is part of the 'different hotels' and all rooms are differently decorated.

Rooms:

We've stayed in room nr 8. This room is one of the largest (I've seen all 9 rooms) with a view over the parking space and entrance of the building. 

There was a very large bed (200 * 200 cm) with 2 different pillows per person.

The room is nicely decorated and a very special chair.

Bathroom:

The bathroom is rather small and in this room there is no window.

There is always a bath tub and a large shower. 3 different towels are provided per person and shampoo, shower gel and bod lotion is provided (also shoe mit + shower cap)

HINT: if you want a bathroom with a view over the beautiful garden out of your bath tub , ask for room nr 2 (smaller bedroom, large bedroom) or 4 (large bedroom with large bathroom).

All rooms 1,2,3,4 have a view over the garden from the bedroom.

Breakfast:

I can not rate the breakfast, as we had a special breakfast served for our group of friends staying in this hotel.

It was very varieted with champagne and fresh orange juice, but I'm aware this is not served to all guests.

Restaurant:

The hotel is only bookable in bed & breakfast, but of course you can make a Reservation in the restaurant Inesto (1* Michelin). This restaurant is very cause and only has a limited number of tables. 

They serve great food and it's really worth having a diner in this place.

Facilities:

There is the very large garden with a pond. But next to that there is no other facilities in this auberge.

This auberge is ideal when you have a party in the neighbourhood or to discover the surroundings.

I would rate this hotel with 8/10. Everything is very clean and the rooms are nicely decorated.
