“Best Western Youth Hostile”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

I should first mention that there are very few places to stay in Bastogne so if you are looking for a hotel, you may end up in this one even if you'd rather be somewhere else. The proprietors are unfriendly and scolded me for accidentally forgetting to include two guests as part of our reservation even though we offered to pay the additional rate without any protest. You have to use your room key to light the hallways which means that you are in pitch darkness when you exit the elevators on your room floor until you feel around for the place to put your key in to light the hallway. The rooms look like college dorm rooms with hideous mismatched paint and beds that are one step below futons. One a positive note, Belgian beer is great and inexpensive so you might want to drink a lot of it to help make the room look better!

“Great hotel great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

Perfect location in a quiet spot. Located within walking distance to town square and any shoping you might do. Also within walking distance of miltary base were we had a great guided tour at no cost. Food was excellent and hotel owners were very helpful in getting information for all our questions. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

“Great service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

person found this review helpful

My American girlfriend and I stayed two nights in this hotel. The service was very friendly (in French, English and Dutch). Ample parking, free internet and PC in the rooms, good breakfast (included), clean rooms. Only 3 minutes walk to the town square. The second night we had dinner in the hotel restaurant: good cooking and cheap. We explored the major Battle of the Bulge sites with Herni Mignon (http://users.skynet.be/bastogne.battle.bulge.guided.tours/index_fichiers/Page355.htm) ... he's a great guide.

“Excellent hotel, Great experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

We visited Bastogne for 3 days in May 2011 as part of a WWII trip across Europe. We secured the services of a local tour guide (Henri Mignon - also FANTASTIC) since there are surprisingly few formal tours to Battle of the Bulge sites. Henri strongly recommended the Hotel Melba and it was definitely a great recommendation. We were greeted warmly upon our arrival by the owner, who spoke perfect English and could not have been nicer. The rooms were not opulent, but were clean and had everything you need including free WiFi, small refrigerator, TV, and even a desktop computer. We stayed in one of the large family rooms (4 single beds) so we had more than enough space. The shower door was a little odd, but not a big deal.

Also, we thought the FREE breakfast buffet was fantastic. Excellent choices with most of the "normal stuff" Americans are used to but rarely see in Europe. The hotel restaurant was also quite good. Overall, I enthusiastically give the Hotel Melba an excellent recommendation and I will definitely stay there again if I ever get back to the area. Thanks for a great experience in Bastogne!

Room Tip: The hotel is down a side street, so there really aren't great views.
