My partner and I were allocated this hotel as part of a Goldcrest Holidays trip to the Christmas markets. The less said about that company the better, but this hotel was clean, cosy and efficient throughout our stay. Good size bedroom and bathroom, although the lift was comedically small. Tasty buffet breakfasts and a pleasant, inexpensive hotel bar. Knowledgable desk staff. Near the beach and handy for the main sights. Recommended.

We've booked a 2 night stay in this hotel via www.dekust.org.

Location was ok.
Parking, cost 13 euro's in an old hangar, all cars had to be squeezed in, parkingskills needed.
Hopefully you received the correct code to open the garage, other call again or walk the whole way back. The code wasn't mentioned at the reception (by the old lady) and for one reason or another you had to give your carkeys to the receptiondesk when you were not driving it ... insurance reason so the old layd said? It didn't seem that they had put the other keys in a safe. So we didn't give our keys, how good would it have looked to report a break-in in your in a private garage with your own keys which the robberies have stolen at the receptiondesk?

Food: breakfast bar ok, only on monday at 9h30 all sandwiches were finished. The very helpfull waitress ran off to the local bakery.

Room: here comes the cosy sleeping:
- silence proof: none, first night someone was running in the room above us, we could hear every step taken.
- views: none, only the small street behind us with the parking spaces from the other hugh hotel (plus for that hotel:a whole lot of parking spaces next to the door)
- bed: 140 cm or less: to small for two adults to sleep in, no possibilities to put in a bigger one because the room was badly organized

on the other hand the toilet and the bathroom were well equiped (separate toilet).

Be sure to check your bill because some site mention a tourist tax, this is the same as a city tax. The old lady at the reception tried to charge it dubble, even if it was mentioned as included on the website www.dekust.org.


Ok for a night. If you want to stay longer, please do not book a 'normal' room, spend a little bit more money for a superior ....

We have been visiting Ostend for weekend breaks for several years and stayed at many hotels. This was our first visit at the Hotel Pacific and we will certainly stay there again.
Staff were friendly and efficient, nice bar and dining room and we had a great room - we were upgrade from superior to deluxe - room was spacious, very clean and well equipped.
Hotel Pacific is in a great location, near to seafront, shops and bars but quiet.

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.
