Hostellerie Villa Des Roses, Aywaille

villa des-esperia

Advantages: lovely view from the pool
Disadvantages: where should I start?.... food, service, location...

Staying at Villa Esperia has unfortunately spoilt our holiday a great deal. Even though it was nice to have a stunning view from the pool, we found that the hotel did not deserve its four stars. the staff was not very polite, you had to be very patient because they did not seem to realise that the customer comes first ( we had to wait a lot to check in / check out/ get our keys from reception, betweeen the courses in the evening, etc...)
