Larger rooms than most European hotel rooms. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast buffet had lots of choices.

Van der Valk Sélys Liège Hotel & Spa
Wonderful hotel, lots of high quality amenities. We had two-rooms unit, but very little furniture. As a result we had to live off the suitcases for 4 nights of stay. It wasn't comfortable, plus the look of open suitcases didn't do much for the atmosphere in the unit.

TV was very small and only had a couple of channels working. We tried to get some food in the evening ...
