Hotel Stayen
Rooms inside a real football stadium
About this hotel
Hotel Stayen turns a genuinely unusual setting into its main selling point: contemporary rooms built inside a working soccer stadium, some with views over the pitch itself, alongside a spa and an indoor pool. With 818 reviews behind it, this is one of the more established and popular stays on this list, likely drawing both water park families and football supporters at different times of year. The combination of stadium novelty and a proper spa and indoor pool gives it a wellness offering that stands out even among the other spa-tagged stays nearby. That single fact shapes how the whole stay should be planned around the park visit. It is a small detail, but one that changes how the rest of the day tends to unfold for a family with kids in tow.

Our take
This is an easy recommendation for a family where one parent follows Belgian football and everyone else just wants a proper spa evening after Plopsaqua's slides; the stadium setting gives the stay a genuine talking point beyond the room itself. Families who prefer a quiet, traditional countryside hotel over a modern stadium building should compare this against the chateau and farmhouse stays elsewhere on this list.
- ✓Ask for a pitch-view room when booking if the stadium setting is part of the appeal.
- ✓Reserve the indoor pool or spa time for the evening after Plopsaqua, when tired legs will appreciate it most.
- ✓Check the stadium's own match calendar before booking, since a home game weekend may affect rates and availability.

Why guests love itWaking up with a view over an actual football pitch was, for our stadium-obsessed nine-year-old, nearly as exciting as the slides at Plopsaqua the day before. The indoor pool gave us a much calmer, quieter version of water time to end the trip on, a nice contrast to the noise of the water park itself. It is a genuinely unusual hotel, and it earned its reputation with the details as much as the novelty.
