Yes this really looks like a castle from the outside! Really just a lovely old hotel. Pity the room we had smelled of cigarettes though
Some people in their comments are talking about the hotel's restaurant while the others are talking about the hotel itself.. Anyway, it was unusual experience to stay in more than 350 years building with new modern rooms a way from the city rush. I liked the hotel and enjoyed my stay there.
Very enjoyable and relaxing.
I spent a Sunday evening enjoying a drink on the patio. Although the service was a bit lacking in speed and friendliness, it was easy enough to go down to the bar in the basement and order a beer myself.
There was a wedding wrapping up so I can see that the place might be a bit noisy if such an event were going into the night. I would assume that Saturdays might be more likely to have late night parties.
I dined in the restaurant in the "dungeon". It is a fun, casual atmosphere. The service here presents a great improvement over that on the patio. The lady who appears to manage the place was really taking good care of customers. I had the "famous Gravenhof ribs". This was a full,trimmed slab of pork ribs served with potatoes and a small salad. The texture was a little chewy in a good way with a slight salt and vinegar flavor. Although I managed to eat all of it, there is enough meat here to share. I didn't have room for dessert.
My room was one floor up at the end of the hall, overlooking the patio and pond. It was not huge but it was very comfortable and up to date. There is a mini fridge that was stocked with beer, still and sparkling water, and soft drinks, all free of charge. I did notice the earplugs available in the room. I slept quite well without them.
I'd recommend this place to couples wanting a romantic get away or to business people needing a good place to recharge. My only caveat being that you might want to check that there is not a big celebration booked.
Very great. .. pasture.. Great environment for team building exercise.
Great hotel. Scenic location, nice room and friendly staff. The restaurant is excellent for dinner. Had the best ribs I've ever tried.
Its a cozy place take a dinner in a chic and elegance.
Very friendly and reasonably priced to host your parties :-)
Had a wonderful stay at the Kasteel Gravenhof. The staff was wonderful, from the reception to the management. Very friendly and accommodating. The room was really comfortable and newly refurbished. My first choice for trips to Brussels from now on.
This place is difficult to review. The place is nice and several staff members tried hard. The rooms have a wide variety yet all cost similar. There were several downfalls to this hotel. First, we asked to have a couple jeans and t-shirts washed and they came off sounding like it was complimentary for non ironed items, to later tell us it was actually going to cost more than 1 night of staysecond, and more importantly, was our friends wedding. They planned to have their wedding here for over 11 months working with hotel to hash out details. They even went a week early to visit and discuss final arrangements with the staff. Then, the day before the wedding this giant monstrosity of a plastic white building goes up, right in front of the castle where they had planned the wedding to be. They failed to tell anyone that there was an appliance home show the day after their wedding. So for 11 months and even in the last week they let them believe that everything was as the designed. However, They could no longer have the wedding in the location they planned in front of the castle. They moved us into a corner of the lot where the castle could barely be seen, then they stuck the diesel generators right next to the new setup wedding location and had them running during the wedding. Overall it is probably a nice place, but they really messed up or friends wedding and this part of our vacation.
