Royal Snail

Namur


Boasting bags of character and a good mix of business and leisure travellers, this sassy, offbeat hotel offers plenty of facilities – though the see-through plunge pool is more visual gag than leisure option – including an enticing on-site restaurant, nifty urban garden and relaxing bar deck. Rooms vary substantially, but all are cheerfully modern. Prices are usually lower than these rack rates.
