This was an excellent hotel, complete with motivational quotes decorating the hallways in bold posters. The decor was sleek, soothing and modern, using browns, greys, and blues. Great, smiling and helpful Belgian staff gave very frank and helpful tips. The breakfast is a little expensive, but nice. Since everything is drivable in Belgium in one day, everywhere is a nice...

Hotel Ecu is a good choice for short travel stay with standard options that hotels of this category suggest. Rooms are clean and tidy, but to my taste the room design and ergonomics lack cosyness and space. Quality of service and friendliness of the staff is really great and welcoming.

Hotel Ecu is a good budget choice for staying in Genk. Easy access by car (parking leftside of the hotel for 5 euro a day) or by train (station across the Europalaan). Rooms are refurbished, white and clean. Our deluxe room for 99 euro was spacious (and warm). The promised airco turned out to be a fan. You can open... More

The Hotel Ecu is an excellent choice when visiting Genk, being situated opposite the train station and next to the main square where there are several cafes and restaurants. The rooms are spacious compared with the norm, and very well appointed with comfortable beds and space to work (free wi-fi is available with the password given at the front desk).... More

Fantastic price, location and staff! Sabrina on reception could not have been more helpful! Rooms are nicely decorated and clean with my only complaint being the rooms are small - i would highly recommend for a short stay otherwise!

No thrills hotel, but the price is very moderate. Parking on the first floor behind the hotel at 5 euro per day, that is a good deal, and very handy. Room was small and very clean, but the shower tap didn't function properly, and unless the tap was opened completely very noisy. So was the main street, and as the... More
