Good to know
- Reservation
- Book directly with the hotel where possible -- and mention that you need a wheelchair-accessible room, as online filters are not always reliable.
- Busy and quiet times
- Busiest during events at the Citadel and in July and August. Quietest rates in January to March.
- Things to note
- Limited number of adapted rooms (typically 1 to 2). The breakfast terrace by the Meuse has a threshold; breakfast indoors is straightforward.
- Visit tip
- The hotel sits on a level riverside walking path along the Meuse leading to the Citadel lift; an ideal starting point for an accessible day in Namur.
