We stayed at the empire hotel for two nights as we were on a coach trip with a party of 18 people, this hotel as far as I know has been used for coach tours for a number of years. The hotel is in a good position and offers easy access to the coast, shops etc. My personal view of... More

Terrible experience! No ventilation in the room. After shower the little room was really hot and humid. And no window to open. Room was not clean.

We have been staying here each year since 1997 and have to disagree with the adverse comments. We have always enjoyed good service, excellent food, and happy times here. Would not want to stay anywhere else as long as we come to Oostende. M and K Allen More
