“Very quiet and nice hotel but you need a car”

This was a very pleasant, clean and quiet hotel, and by a quiet I mean that there was nobody around – no staff at all.

This was a very pleasant, clean and quiet hotel, and by a quiet I mean that there was nobody around – no staff at all. The room was spacious, with wonderful landscape view and in fact we were very much satisfied, someone came to clean, but we never met. Breakfast was fine, in beautiful surrounding and it was possible to order decent coffee too. However, there were some challenges which the visitor should know in advance: 1) We arrived to the hotel in the middle of the day and there was nobody, the doors were closed. We called the number provided on the door and were told to walk to Moulin (about 800 m) to get the keys. What Mouline? You had to guess yourself. Fortunately, people who dropped us from the train station have not left yet and took us to Domaine du Moulin d'Asselborn Hotel, which had obviously the same owner. Without car and clear directions, but with suitcases – this would be a challenge. 2) We knew that breakfast was included in the room price, but what we did not know was that it was served in Mouline, so we had to walk every morning 850m (or 1100m alternative road). It is a pleasant walk in nice weather down the hill, but coming back the length is the same but you have the to climb 57m up the hill. This might not be ok for everyone and certainly with heavy rain or direct sun – you might just have to skip the breakfast. 3) The place was very beautiful and quiet indeed, no restaurants or shops nearby. Even the restaurant in Moulin was open in very limited timeframe (19 – 21 for dinner). The highlight of the place was 7th INTERNATIONAL GLASS FESTIVAL LUXEMBOURG almost next door. The exhibition of glass sculptures from many artists worlwide and workshops were interesting to watch. My overall opinion is that the hotel is very pleasant, but you need a car if you are not able (or willing) to walk.

“Un lugar tranquilo para alojarse”

El personal era muy agradable y servicial. El hotel tenía un muy buen desayuno (gratis). La habitación me pareció limpia y la cama era cómoda. Este hotel está situado en una zona tranquila y es un buen sitio para poder visitar Bastogne y otros lugares de interés. Me alojaría aquí de nuevo.

“Excelente comida, excelente bienvenida”

Lejos de las multitudes, sin duda! En medio de la campiña de Oesling, seguro! Si te quedas en la zona, hazte un favor y parada aquí para disfrutar de su 'Kniddelen', un verdadero Luxemburgués plato. Las raciones son muy abundantes y no dejar aquí tienes hambre

“Nice room but details could be done better.”

As the main building of Domaine du Moulin d'Asselborn was fully booked, we had a room in the second building, Auberge du Relais Postal.

As the main building of Domaine du Moulin d'Asselborn was fully booked, we had a room in the second building, Auberge du Relais Postal. Check-in (and out), dinner and breakfast were at the Domaine so I gave my review there for those items. Here I will give my review about the room. The Auberge is about 1km from the Domaine but it is very steep in between the two locations so not so easy to walk or take a bike, we took our car to go from one place to the other. We booked two standard rooms but one turned out to be some kind of suite with a table and chairs, sitting area, ... the other was a lot smaller and a lot more basic. Price for both rooms was the same (we found this a little weird). The rooms are very nicely decorated with lots of details respecting the theme of the room (ours was Turn and Taxis). If you want a modern, sterile kind of room, you don't have to book here. Beds were very comfortable and we slept well, despite some noise from the street and the fact that it was warm (and there is no air-conditioning). Bathroom was what you need, nothing extra. A pity that the shower gel is in small plastic bags, a big bottle would have been better for the environment and easier to use. The room was not extremely clean as we found al lot of dust f.e. on the frame of the bed. We understand that these types of room with so many decoration and character are less easy to clean so it did not disturb us too much. We missed a second bin in the small room as we only had a bin in the bathroom. There is no elevator but as our rooms were on the first floor, that did not trouble us. The prices of the mini bar are very high, this is never cheap we thought it was really exaggerated here so we did not use anything. We missed a free bottle of water. And the coffee facilities were horrible. The water boiler was full of calc. The instant coffee available was not good at all. There were two types: deca and coffee 3 in 1. As we do not like sugar and milk in our coffee, we tried the deca first. The powder did just not solve into the water, it was disgusting. The three in one was from Nescafe and that is good quality but that was just too sweet, you only tasted sugar and no coffee. Our advise: put some normal coffee of Nescafe as there is no need for 3 in 1 as there is sugar and milk available for the people who want. We missed some lights in the standard room as we had no light at the ceiling. Wifi connection is not too bad. The suite is very suitable for longer stays, the standard room is okay for one or two nights. We could park at the backside of the Auberge where the entrance is but we were with two cars (2 couples from different locations in Belgium) and there was only room for one. We could park the other at the street. We will definitely come again because of its location close to nature and possibilities for walks as we did not have time for this. We just hope that some points will be improved by our next visit.
