On the way to the nature trail in the forest, we saw a holiday lodging house – Le Gîte des Crêtes. There are a total of three bedrooms in which six people can stay. For those who like to BBQ, the house has a terrace with barbeque and garden furniture.

As the house is on the hilltop, the scenery is splendid and has an unblocked view of nature. Beware that since Le Gîte des Crêtes is at a higher altitude, so expect some walking on the slopes to go up and down to the Durbuy town if it does not bore you or make you tired.

⑥ Hotel Des Comtes Durbuy

Durbuy Hotel Des Comptes

Dated from 1862, Hôtel Des Comtes Durbuy has a magnificent view to die for based on my last visit impression. That would be my first choice as I fell in love with it at first sight. Located along River Ourthe in a quiet surrounding, what’s not better than to wake up with fresh air from nature and perhaps the crisp sound of the river flow?

There is a total of 8 rooms in Hôtel Des Comtes. Four of them are suite rooms with full bathroom, telephone, TV and internet access.

⑨ Hotel Côté Cour Durbuy

Durbuy Hotel Côté-Cour

I would not recommend you to eat at Hotel-Restaurant Côté Cour due to our disappointing dining experience with the restaurant on our last trip to Durbuy. However, to be fair, the prime location of the hotel for staying overnight in Durbuy is worth mentioning. It is indeed a charming hotel with a glass-panel on the exterior in the middle of the Durbuy town.

You are a few steps away from Place aux Foires which has the busiest spot in Durbuy especially when there is a Christmas Market taking place in November and December yearly. The hotel has 25 rooms and 4-room types. The lowest is €70 for a Standard Room on a weekday to €120 on a pricier weekend for a Suite Studio.

Parking is free but may pose a challenge to people who have physical disabilities as there is staircase access to it. The hotel room rate per night for two is from €89 to €95 and includes breakfast. The hotel location is near to bustling streets. Hence, you may hear outside noise occasionally.
