I have been stopping in Ostend at the Pacific for the last three years and this will be my fourth year (2006). It is a good hotel, very clean. Dont expect sea views as it is down a side street from the main drag along the harbour. The breakfasts are continental with hot soft bolied eggs if you want. you can feast like a king and it will keep you going well into the day if you so wish. Only downside is the stairs in the hotel are a little steep for some but there is a lift available which is conveniently positioned outside the reception. The staff are friendly and very obliging. The Lounge Bar is confortable and at my last visit had free Internet Access via the Hotels own Public Use PC. There is a good selection of drinks at the bar and the Hotel is such a short jaunt from some of the excellent traditional brown bars in Ostend. Go again.. well I am already booked.

I DIDN'T EVEN MANAGED TO GET IN THERE.
