“Maintains itself as good and reasonable hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

I have stayed many times over the years here but have not returned for six or seven years. The public areas have been completely redone and the price of the room includes free WiFi The breakfast room is a lot more comfortable and the breakfast buffet also included in the room rate, is adequate and varied. The hotel's location cannot be beat and the staff courteous and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and I appreciated the soundproof window to ward off the noise of some late night traffic and party goers. It is a full-blooded 3 star hotel and if you want a a sound hotel experience I recommend it.

Room Tip: Ask for a high floor facing the front.

“This is the Second time I have stayed here, it is easy to find and is a good location just across from the beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

The rooms are fine and clean. My one complaint was the lack of a shower curtain and it is just a hand held shower so the bathroom got quite wet. The hotel garage is 18€ per night and is dark and dingy and away from the hotel, I would recommend the public spaces which are safe and well lit. Ostende is a lovely town which is being expanded lovely restaurants and good beach

“Please never go there!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2011

Last weekend we have stayed in this hotel at the Belgian coast, this was our first experience with a hotel in Ostend and it was terrible! By reviewing the hotelwebsite we had a positive view on the hotel, rooms, environment but nothing was more contradictory. The hotel was really outdated and urgently needs to be renovated and reminds of old, very old glory. The room itself had a strange blue colour theme and thick carpet and felt a bit claustrofobic, also the bathroom only had a bath (no shower facilities and this was not mentioned anywhere!) and there was a sewer smell. I must say everything was clean but due to it's ancient look not seemed very neat. The reception we had when arriving was friendly, the receptionist had night duty and would be there all night. He better did something about the noice outside, I must say! As we haven't slept good at all... there was a lot of street noice of people partying in their car just in front of the hotel. We have not parked at the garage of the hotel as it was full so we used the casino parking nearby, it costs us 18€/day, so this added another price to this already expensive non valuable weekend. The hotel website mentions that it's a non smoking hotel, but it seemed that when paying 30€ extra you can smoke in your room - looks like everyting has it's price!! Also the same with pets, no pets allowed but there where dogs in the room next to ours whining and barking early in the morning. Breakfast was standard, not too bad, friendly service though. To say the last issue, weather was cloudy and rainy but no one can do anything about this.. and we are not that picky, just wanted to have a lovely romantic weekend on the seaside... NOT!

Room Tip: I can suggest to pick another hotel!

“Would never go back”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011

Have just stayed for 2 nights and was very disgusted that they gave us a single room for me and my husband. Have stayed there previously so know that it was not a double room. I went back to reception and after some arguments were given a room at the back facing some apartments which was very close! The girl at reception said 'this is the last room I can give you' so we resign ourselves to the 2 nights but we will definitely never stay there again
