Saint-Sixtus Abbey of Westvleteren

The staff was very courteous and friendly. However, the room we were assigned on the first night was quite a shock. The shower was located in the bedroom with only a single glass wall for separation. There was no sofa and only one chair in the room, as well as just one small bath towel provided. Overall, the room felt more like a closet than a proper hotel room. Given the price we paid, we expected a much more decent accommodation. The following day, I requested a different room, which we received that evening. This room was significantly better and met our expectations. That said, I believe a discount should have been offered for the first night, which unfortunately did not happen. Overall, the hotel is very clean and modern.

Great location, quaint property, unfortunately no air conditioning, the fan was helpful but didn’t cool room down. Lots of stairs so keeps you fit. Staff not around after 5pm til next morning, but no problems with self check in. We parked at suggested free parking (5 mins away)
