We chose Epen as it was relatively close to good eateries when going to watch Formula One i Spa, Belgium. The trip from the race circuit to the hotel was approx 50 km. The hotel was in no way expensive, and still rooms were large and clean, and the hotel itself was pleasant with a small courtyard where drinks and snacks were served. Our rooms opened on to the courtyard. The service was in a league of its own. Breakfast was served at 8 o'clock and when we asked 'what to do' if we had to leave early on race day, the answer was: I'll just serve breakfast at 7! And the concierge/person-in-charge even made it sound as if it suited him perfectly to get started early. Impressive. Breakfast was very satisfactory, as well, with the usual continental items as well as eggs (several styles), bacon etc. Coffee was made fresh by the cup. When we needed a recommendation for a good place to have supper, this was arranged for us. And not to forget - the restaurant was indeed of a high standard (see separate review on this). One of the rooms did not have 'good wi-fi', and swiftly rooms were changed. All in all, a very good service experience, and this is a hotel I would both recommend and want to stay in another time. The town itself is small and very pleasant, quiet and well-kept. We did not quite find out why there were so many hotels in the town but the entire area was neat with lots of nature sceneries, good bike and hike routes etc., so perhaps people go there to exercise or just enjoy nature. In any case, the entire atmosphere was most welcoming.
