Ostend hotels

Pros: Breakfast was continental style, and we were served personally by Filip. There was fresh fruit on offer, eggs and a combination of breads, meats and cheeses. The setting was wonderful, downstairs in a dining area near the kitchen. There was wonderful furniture all around, with lighting showing off art and pictures. It was quiet as we seemed to be the only guests at the time so it meant direct service and being well taken care of. The whole house looked great, lots of period features. It was in an excellent location, with a park nearby and within a few minutes walking distance of the beach. Filip also gave us some recommendations such as a great restaurant, and when we wanted to go to Bruges, suggested taking the train which worked out well.

Cons: We came with our dogs - they were made very welcome and we were well supported with them. Only one small point - we needed to climb many flights of steps to the top of the building to our room and that was not so easy with our dogs

Cons: The host made it very clear we were a burden on HIS schedule. The overall experience with him was extremely negative as he blamed us for several things that inconvenienced him.

Pros: I liked the style of the hotel, that’s why I choose online this Hotel. Quality of hotel presentation in web very clearly expressed, no surprises when arrived at the hotel. Thanks for the good time spend there.

Cons: Functioning of television, I could not really utilize the proper service of tv channels due to the confusion of two remotes controls.

Pros: Great location. We had a very nice room on the top floor which was very quiet. The owner was very friendly and helpful

Cons: A lift would have been a bonus, but it was very good exercise!

Pros: what we enjoyed our birthday weekend a luxurious suite, a warm welcome and a royal breakfast thanks for making the stay as pleasant as possible

Pros: Very cosy, qualitative and classy b&b with a very warm welcome ! Very good location Top breakfast

Pros: very family friendly. Good breakfast.

Pros: Alles want alles was pico bello inorde

Cons: Niets alles was in orde

Pros: Our host was really friendly and helpful and did everything for our 5 month old baby to feel at home: a baby bed, a microwave at our disposal, a room on groundfloor level close to the dining hall. The breakfast was delicious and vareous with fresh and local products. The location of the dining hall was spaceous so we were certainly not back to back with other people or other tables which was nice.

Cons: The luxurious and modern photos on the internet made us choose this hotel. On the outside the modern building with its offwhite walls looks wonderful and is surrounded by green. However, once opening the door to our room it looked really dark and outdated. When we saw the other building "Luxus" while doing a tour on the domain we realised that we were in the rather outdated part of the hotel... The floors were aged, the wallpaper was dark with traces of a giant self-adhesive sticker that was no longer there. The ventilation in the bathroom was really loud. There was a mouldy smell in the room's closet which smelled troughout the room. We booked last minute and maybe therefore we have been given this room, however we don't feel like it carries out the same spirit as the rest of the hotel.

Pros: breakfast was the best the chose was amazing just all good for any diet

Cons: nothing

Pros: Sauna was quite good. The sea view balcony was outstanding. The bar was really nice.

Pros: Decor

Cons: Great hotel ,but needs a kettle in the rooms

Pros: I loved the decor and amazing entertainment facilities

Cons: No room servicing during our 3 days. No cleaning or changing of linen needed but emptying dustbins, more toilet paper and sweeping room would have been great

Pros: Great location- right on the beach and very close to the centre of the city. The decor is really fun and having a slide in the lobby is also very unique. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast buffet had everything you could want. I would happily stay there again.

Cons: Nothing really although the parking close by is quite expensive.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff.

Cons: Room was a little too full with all the furniture.

Pros: Everything, totally amazing, I’ve never stayed in better for the money

Cons: Nothing it was perfect

Pros: The property was ideally located in the city centre, at walking distance from Cursaal and the beach. The check-in was easy and the lady at the reception desk was friendly and informative. The studio was clean, cosy and perfect for our 1-night stay.

Cons: We had expected a double bed, but there was a single bed and a sleep coach. That’s ok for 1 night but probably not comfortable enough for a longer stay.

Cons: We had a room for three persons, the double bed was a bed couch, was not really dcomfortable. Our backs hurt :-( Furthermore, great location, super clean, great.

Pros: Great security. Interior was plush. Art on the walls were unusual!

Pros: Water was hot. Balcony outside room.

Cons: After reading the review I was really disappointed with my room, it looked like it was furnished as a DHSS hostel. Shower head did not fit in holder properly so it rotated with water pressure. Breakfast was average. I have stayed in better hotels for less money. This hotel caters for a certain type of person. People who like a 'sing song' in the bar and eat food like they have at home. Whilst I booked a double room, I actually got 2 single beds pushed together - I would call this a 'twin' room.

Pros: very little. i will remain anonymous but the hotelier will know who i am

Cons: all plug sockets hanging out of walls. someone's dirty underpants under bed,rickety old lumpy bed.tv impossible to see on top of wardrobe. pointless. got trapped in lift 5 times. staff unhelpful about problems and difference in booked price and their charged price.

Pros: Great Value, very comfortable, and great breakfast buffet!

Pros: The hotel is excellently situated and the room was clean. Friendly English speaking staff. Good value for money.

Pros: It was ok but semed expensive for what we got

Pros: Very good location close to the beach, centre, ferry and railway station, very friendly staff, only a few noise at night

Cons: Inspite of the summer season no vegetables or fresh fruits at all for breakfast, problems with sanitary equipment in the bathroom

Pros:

Cons: Breakfast was really poor. And it was only till 9-30. Room furtnished very old style and smelled correspondingly.

Pros: Our stay was only a short one and we loved everything about it. We would definitely go back to the same Hotel, next time for much longer. The staff were very pleasant, the food was great - perfect.

Cons:

Pros:

Cons: The bar furniture was dirty, no towels in the bathrooms, general decoration poor

Pros: From the late night warm welcome with a smile, to the hearty breakfast options, and a perfect location for easy train access as well as a run/stroll to the sea. The website gives you the look and feel, but the service expressed the real quality of the hotel. Thank you for a lovely stay, for the care shown in the room design, and for how you treat your guests.

Pros: It’s a lovely place with lovely people we go back every year

Pros: Location is good, breakfast nice with nice selection of fresh breads, homemade jams and fresh fruits. Room 12 is possibly smallest room we have ever been allocated for a hotel! The room was clean with a decent size shower and clean towels, but this was the only positive I can give on the room I’m afraid!

Cons: Room (12) this room is very small and very hot with no air con! Looks out into harbour but it is extremely noisy and having been allocated probably the smallest and hottest room in the hotel we had to sleep with the windows open hence every noise could be heard including the extremely noisy alarm system going off every time the bridge is raised at the harbour!!! We were given a fan to help with the heat however this did not help much and it was also very noisy!! On our last morning we woke up to a really bad sewerage smell in the room, obviously they were having a problem with their waste system! This was not pleasant in an extremely hot room!! Also our room is allocated across from the laundry which would not have helped with the heat in the room! When checking out we asked do they have air con in any of their rooms and we have yet to hear yes or no! The gentleman at reception told us they have newer rooms and extending the hotel but he did not give us the answer to our question which believe should have been No!! Staff were pleasant, however not over friendly. The waiter at breakfast on first day was very nice however the waiter the next two days was not so friendly and at some occasions looked like he didn’t want us there... it would have been nice if he could have wished us ‘Good Morning’ and ‘have a nice day’ but we have yet to hear either!!! Overall it was an ok hotel but would not be one of my recommendations I’m afraid!

Cons: I've only seen staff the day i arrived to check in.

Pros: I really enojoyed the short stay in Hotel Cardiff. The place is small, but with cozy and home atmosphere. The value for money is very good and just perfect for a short trip to the sea. The localisation is perfect, close to every kind of facilities and the seaside. The service was very nice, helpful and oriented.

Cons: The only thing I didn't like about my room was really outdated TV set. At a time when it is common to use all kinds of streaming services, it seems to me quite obvious to equip a room with some basic smart TV. Even if we stay there only for one night, it is very nice to personalize this time according to your preferences. Especially when we are from abroad and most of the programs are in the local language or there is simply nothing interesting.
