De Beek Anno 1410 Hotel
Rooms and equipped flats in old Sint-Truiden, 100 m from the Grote Markt
About this hotel
De Beek Anno 1410 stands at Beekstraat 56, in the historic centre of Sint-Truiden, about 100 metres from the Grote Markt of the town that calls itself the capital of Haspengouw, Belgium's fruit-growing region. It offers hotel rooms and fully equipped flats with hotel service, for short or long stays, in a building the owners present as full of history. It is a town-centre address, not a countryside one: Plopsaqua Hannut-Landen, which opened in 2021 just across the language border in Hannut, is about 18 km away as the crow flies, so you drive there. The water park packs 4,800 square metres of indoor and outdoor space, with three large slides including the Sky Drop and the Disco Slide, the Stormbad wave pool with its weather theme, a wild-water river and a water play area for small children.

Our take
De Beek Anno 1410 puts you 100 metres from the Grote Markt of Sint-Truiden, so evenings mean the town's squares and restaurants on foot rather than a hotel bar in the fields. I would book one of its equipped flats for a family who wants a kitchen and a proper town base, and treat Plopsaqua Hannut-Landen, about 18 km away as the crow flies, as a day out by car. With 74 reviews it is a small address, and I could not find a published list of room layouts, so I would ask which flat sleeps how many before booking with children.
- ✓Choose a fully equipped flat rather than a room if you are a family of four: you get a kitchen for breakfast before the water park and dinner after it.
- ✓Drive to Plopsaqua Hannut-Landen: the park is in Hannut, on the Walloon side of the language border, about 18 km from Sint-Truiden as the crow flies, so signs switch to French on the way.
- ✓At the park, start with the Sky Drop and the Disco Slide before the Stormbad wave pool fills up, then let the youngest finish in the water play area.
- ✓Leave the car near the hotel for the evening: the Grote Markt is about 100 metres away, so dinner and a walk need no driving after a water park day.
Why we love it
- Equipped flats with a kitchen
- Restaurants and squares of Sint-Truiden on foot
- A base for exploring Haspengouw beyond the water park
Why guests love itThis is an address for families who would rather wake up in a historic town than next to the water park. Sint-Truiden's Grote Markt is a hundred metres away, and the equipped flats give space and a kitchen, which matters more with young children than any lobby. The price of that choice is the drive: Plopsaqua Hannut-Landen is about 18 km away as the crow flies, so a water park day starts in the car. The park itself suits mixed ages, with three big slides for older children, a wave pool and a water play area for the smallest. Families who want to walk to the slides should stay in Hannut or Landen instead.
