What People are saying
Great price, great location, great staff!
Khrystyna Ron 16/05/2016 14:19My husband and I came to Genk for a friends wedding. Quick note: Hotel Artel may be soon be referred to as Green Hotel.The hotel staff accommodated a late check in without any hassle. We felt welcome from the minute we stepped into the reception area. Clean rooms (very efficient design and use of space), free wifi, closet space, mini fridge, tv, mini kettle - everything we really needed for our short stay. The hotel location is perfect, right in the city center - steps away from the train station, grocery store, shopping mall(!!!), a beautiful park and some local bakeries/ restaurants/ bars. The manager of the hotel, Kwinten, went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was comfortable; he promptly replied to all our requests/ needs. It was very clear that he loves what he does and his beautiful city. Thank you for all your kindness and accommodation!!! We are looking forward coming back and experiencing the new Roots Bar!!!
Not a 2-star, more like a European 4-star
hmkanjion 23/08/2015 13:03Small room, but clean and nice. Great water pressure in the shower, although on the second day only temperature available was hot, more hot and scalding.
Hotel prob gets a ding for not having a receptionist - I was greeted with a note on the door saying we close at 10pm but call this number to find us. And on checkout there was no receptionist.
By EU standards, definitely not a 2-star. Even by American standards, this was better than most 3-stars. Just a tiny room.
Good for the price
M Con 27/10/2014 16:58I booked this hotel less than a week before my travel, most of the hotels were fully booked and this was the cheapest, nevertheless the price, it was clean, cosy, and the staff are friendly and helpful, my room was cleaned everyday and they take extra mile to be at your service.
On the main street
warboyson 28/04/2013 13:22We had a two night stay to visit Bokrijk park which is 4 miles from Genk.
The room is amazingly basic but very clean and the price is reasonable for a city centre location with plenty of restaurants and shops.
The room had tea and coffee provided and the tv had 2 BBC channels. The lift was something they must have got from the local mining museum but it worked.
Parking is a MAJOR problem and we eventually found a space 1/2 mile away and it took us an hour to find it.
Nice for travelers
AdrianaRioson 22/03/2013 19:40This hotel is right across from the train station and has an pub with amazing food and beer selection.
The room was very small but very well designed which is always appreciated.
I felt great while there
