On a peaceful stretch of river happily away from the busy road, this modernised HI hostel partly occupies the attractive red-brick mansion that was once a studio of artist Félicien Rops. Good breakfast is included. It's 2.5km south of central Namur; bus 3 runs here from the train station and bus 4 stops nearby.
