Emily, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Property was good great location but something i was never experienced in other hotels in other countries was to pay for parking. I think you cross the line
Demetris, 1-night trip

Very helpful staff
pilar, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

My second stay at this hotel and it’s very convenient, being adjacent to the motorway. The staff are always courteous and helpful and the rooms clean, tidy and comfortable. I genuinely have no hesitation in recommending this hotel, or staying there again.
Ian, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Friendly received at reception; clear instructions. Nice clean room.
Patrick, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Horrible room at night in room 110. Some kind of airco or pump turning on every hour. Didn’t sleep much :( Food was great tho
Jens, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was very spacious and good. I booked a suite and it had two double bed, a dining table and a kitchennete. We really enjoyed the room as we were 4 people. The only thing was there was no dustbin bag so sometimes we had issues in storing wet dust.
Naman, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What I liked the most was having a small kitchenette. With two little ones, was good to be able to warm their bottles, or prepare some snacks. The room was super clean and modern.
Cintia, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Brand new hotel, still being finished here and there. Unfortunately we found the hotel suprisingly noisy, there was a lot of noise from the adjacent motorway, and internal noise from banging doors and even people speaking in the corridor. I can't understand this, surely sound insulation is a key part of a modern hotel? The beds were comfortable and staff were very friendly, but I couldn't recommend the hotel because of the noise.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Second stay in this hotel; comfy modern rooms (USB C!) and easy access to ev charging and major transport routes on our journey brought us back. Last time the breakfast wasn’t brilliant, it was school holidays and very busy, so breakfast area was cramped and options were lean; this time, there was plenty of choice, and as midweek holiday makers we missed early business traffic, so there were no queues for the coffee machines etc. Maybe they could put more staff on to help keep the dining area stocked and clear when it’s busy? It looks like there is some building work happening on site, maybe a larger dining space is in the works?! We took an Uber into Ghent centre for a lovely meal at Du Progres, hotel was convenient and we felt could leave our car charging in safety. 1.5 hours by car to Le Shuttle. Ghent is nearly as pretty as Bruges, and as a lively university town it feels less touristy and full of hen/stag dos!
Emily, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Die Waschbecken im Bad sind sehr hoch für Kinder. Es gab leider kein Höckerli für die Kinder, dass war das einzige Manko. Sonst bestens.
Carolina, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Nette kamer, parkeren erg duur.
Willem, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Locatie is op zich prima. Tijdens ons verblijf werd er pal voor de deur verbouwd, waardoor het erg rommelig over kwam en de parkeerplaats deels afgelint was. Bij inchecken bleek dat de mondelinge toezegging en bevestiging van twee Twin beds niet klopte. We kregen een twee persoons bed, waarvan deze niet uit elkaar konden. Of te wel niet een tweepersoonsbed. Hierop hadden wij geselecteerd aangezien ik met mijn zoon was en hij niet bij zijn vader perse in bed hoefde. Blijkbaar zegt het boekingcentrum wat ‘s avonds actief is dingen toe, waarvan het hotel zelf aangeeft dat zij wel vaker verkeerde zaken toezeggen. Helaas geen oplossing gekregen.
Mischa, 2-night trip
