I did not like to wait for the lift which was taken over by cleaners when demand was high for breakfast. Cleaners equipment should not be in lifts at high demand times

I was able to book my room extremely last minute, and the price was amazing and when I got to the room, it was gorgeous with two balconies on the very top floor. I could not be happier with this booking. I would’ve stayed the whole week if I knew about it earlier.

Beachfront hotel, centrally located
A nice hotel very close to the beach. As a previous reviewer said, it has a contemporary industrial feel to it (think black metal shelving & concrete grey industrial vibes) but with yellow pops of color (towels and toiletries). There is a large yellow children’s slide in the lower lobby area that seemed to be a big hit w/ families. Positives: —Friendly and helpful front desk —Very convenient location— many restaurants nearby and a supermarket one block over. —Breakfast was great, would recommend—make sure to tell the front desk the night before if you plan to have breakfast in the hotel. —No parking attached to the hotel but ample paid parking just around the corner, approximately 25 Euro’s per 24 hours, which is fairly normal for secure and centrally located parking in major European cities. Minor Downsides: —Cleaning could have been a little better— some dust on the shelving that stood out on the black shelving, but nothing major. —There is no telephone in the room (which can be a hassle if you need to get in touch w/ the front desk) —There is no coffee machine or hot water kettle to make a cup of coffee or tea, so plan ahead if that is important to you. Overall a nice place to stay— would recommend for the quick access to the beach, friendly vibe, and great breakfast.

Good location n stay
Hotel is quite new so everything was still new. The room was very spacious but the bed was not very comfortable. Note that there is a fridge but no coffee n tea facilities. Breakfast was worth it with a good variety. The slide was fun for my 5year old kid. The location is near the beach.

Fantastic hotel
This was a wonderful find. Only stayed one night but would happily stay longer. The rooms are pretty basic but impressively decorated. The bathroom is functional with a great shower. Beds were comfortable. Loved the interior decor, and fun layout, had a contemporary industrial feel, lots of fun, including indoor slide. Staff really helpful and friend and spoke English. Didn’t stay for breakfast but had a peak and looked impressive. Parking can be expensive but arriving late, found a street parking spot nearby and by leaving before 9am, parking was free. (Park after 9pm, leave before 9am) Met the owner who was really nice and tried his fantastic Van Bulck organic beer! Location is twenty yards from beach and not much further to town centre.

Nice hotel in a great location and with very friendly service. The room we got was comfy but a bit dark and had no direct access via the elevator so in case of heavy luggage not the best option.

Loved the decor and common areas, very trendy place and brilliant location and price for our stay, but our room was missing aircon, we did not sleep well due to the temperatures. Also the wifi at the hotel was intermittent, luckily I managed to get on long enough to check in for my flight home so didnt have to complain at reception. I have to say the reception staff were a little unfriendly and disinterested when we encountered them so glad not much interaction was required...

Thank you for your feedback. We have taken on the breakfast service by stopping the collaboration with the external partner. A few days after your stay we have taken the restaurant in our own hands with our own staff. Since that change we only receive outstanding comments on our breakfast. So please be welcome to come and try our Breakfast 2.0. :-)

Great hotel!
We stayed for one night. Ate in the attached restaurant. It was quite pricey but Belgium is generally. The family room was just what we needed with enough privacy and space. Clean and comfortable. The communal facilities were exceptional and my teenage boys had a great time playing ping pong and sliding down the shute. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. A friendly and fun hotel to stay in. We’ll be back!

Good for a short stay by the Belgian seafront
Great location, shame does not have local free parking or a subsidized parking but the hotel staff was really helpful in suggesting a convenient location to park. The hotel has been recently refurbished and has some good modern features. The room was spacious for a short stay and comfortable. Quiet location very close to the beach. Only negative is the restaurant service that is advertised even in the room, but probably because out of high season, seems completely optional to follow by the restaurant staff, we were turned away at 20.30 when the restaurant should have closed at 22.

Worst hotel experience ever!
Hotel looked impressive at first glance. Easy check in but soon as I saw the room - 606, which was dark and airless, I went down to ask for different room. We were given the room next door-605, which was slightly better- at least the small window was by the bed which is essential as there's no aircon but the 2 rooms looked out into a black hole,hence no air could get through the window! I spent 3 nights unable to sleep Breakfast was not great and very expensive- you have to pay as you walk in- they won't accept charging to your room nor pre paid! Avoid any rooms ending with with numbers..05 or ..06
