Amrâth Grand Hotel de l'Empereur
There is city tax to pay and parking to pay for at the front desk. Which was not announced in the booking. The shower is just a handheld in the bath. This was nit what i would expect for such a place

Van der Valk Sélys Liège Hotel & Spa
Some staff were super helpful and others quite rude! The parking info is confusing. Parking is very limited. Bits of the bathroom were broken including the shower head which couldnt be moved to a full shower height

Housecleaning never came during my 3 days there. The front desk attendants are not often at the desk, so you have to ring the bell
