B&B La Chapelle au Puits, two big rooms in La Louvière
B&B La Chapelle au Puits is a small bed and breakfast in La Louvière, in Wallonia, Belgium, with just two large, quiet rooms, a garden and free parking. Guests praise the warm welcome and the bedding. I would pick it for couples, small groups and families who want calm over nightlife.

Mapiola is a travel blog: this is not the official website of B&B La Chapelle au Puits.
Where B&B La Chapelle au Puits is and how to get there
B&B La Chapelle au Puits is in La Louvière, in the Hainaut province of Wallonia, Belgium. The address is Rue Victor Godefroid, in a quiet residential area with easy parking, according to guests.
It works well as a base if you are driving. Several guests mention that it sits close to the motorways, and one called it an oasis in the middle of the Belgian motorway network. The listing puts Charleroi airport within easy reach, and Brussels attractions such as the Horta Museum and the Gare du Midi are farther away but possible for a day out.
One warning that comes up more than once: it is not easy to spot. One guest who stayed for several nights said they struggled to find it even with GPS, so check the address and any directions before you arrive.
What the two rooms are like
This is a very small place with only two guest rooms, the African room and the Jazz room. Guests describe both as huge, with a little dining corner and a cosy lounge area between them.
The details people keep coming back to are the following.
- A private entrance and a reception and breakfast area.
- Large bathrooms with a bath in each room, one of them lined with slate, plus a shower and a heated towel rail mentioned by a guest.
- Bedding of excellent quality, which surprised more than one person for a B&B.
- One room looks onto the garden (the African room) and the other onto the street.
The listing adds flat-screen TVs, free toiletries, a hairdryer and free wifi. There is also a children's play area and a well-kept garden, so it is friendlier to families than its size suggests.
What guests say about B&B La Chapelle au Puits
Google rates it 4.5 from 17 reviews, and the comments I read on other platforms tell the same story. Almost everyone is happy, and the praise follows a clear pattern.
- The welcome. Many guests mention warm, attentive hosts, including people who arrived late after travel problems.
- Space and calm. Rooms are spacious, quiet, clean and tastefully decorated.
- Comfort. Comfortable beds, good linen and modern bathrooms come up repeatedly.
- Atmosphere. A few guests enjoyed the artworks on display and the pleasant, lively feel of the house.
People have come for very different reasons, from a festival weekend to an equestrian competition to simply breaking a long drive, and most say they would return.
What to know before you book
The biggest limit is size. With only two rooms, availability can run out quickly, so book early if your dates matter. It also means it is not a place with hotel services or a busy social scene.
Finding the entrance can be tricky, as mentioned. And if you are travelling without a car, remember that the listing stresses road links and parking rather than public transport, so I would only choose it if you are driving.
On the negative side, the only low rating I found was a short two-star comment that said nothing concrete about the stay, so I would not weigh it much. Still, the small number of reviews on Google means the score is based on limited data, and it helps to read recent comments before you commit.
Who should stay here
I would choose B&B La Chapelle au Puits in La Louvière if you value space, calm and a personal welcome more than services. It suits couples, two couples travelling together (the shared lounge between the rooms is made for that), and families with young children who will use the play area and garden.
I would skip it if you want nightlife on your doorstep, a restaurant in the building or the flexibility of a large hotel. Business travellers who need a quiet, comfortable night close to the motorway should be happy.
What to do around La Louvière
La Louvière is in the heart of Hainaut, and a stay here makes sense for events in the area. Guests have come for the festival at Ronquières and for a nearby equestrian competition, which shows how well it works for short trips tied to a specific date.
If you fancy a day in the capital, the Horta Museum and the Gare du Midi in Brussels are both listed as attractions you can reach by road, and Charleroi airport is the closest one. For the rest, bring a car and take your time. The surrounding countryside is better enjoyed without a rush.
To sum it up, B&B La Chapelle au Puits is a small, calm and well-kept option in La Louvière, best for drivers who want a big room and a warm welcome.
