The staff were very helpful & pleasant. The room & bathroom were very clean & disabled access was good. Breakfast was excellent & plentiful. The hotel is situated at about a 15 min. walk from the centre of Ostend, if you go in the correct direction! There are plenty of shops & eating establishments all around the Ostend area but keep an eye on prices-I think they are generally a little high. I read reviews of this hotel & to be honest, was not sure just what to expect-they were rather mixed good & bad. However, I found nothing at all 'bad' about the Royal Astrid & many 'good' things to recommend it. If people want 5* service then go to a 5* hotel & pay 5* prices! Parking is very limited with no dropped kerbs & there was no help with baggage except for the provision of 2 carts held in reception(although help may have been available if asked for, I don't know, I didn't ask). The hotel does not have walk in 'restaurant' facilities & any meals wanted, apart from breakfast, must be booked in advance. I would have liked to have Wi-Fi access & also tea/coffee in the room but these omissions didn't reduce the pleasure of the visit. |

Restaurant was open on the evening of my arrival but I was not able to use it because I was told I had to book in advance. |

The spacious sunny room, the friendly staff. I stayed for 4 days and the remote control did not work so I complained on the first day only to finally get it fixed on the 3rd. In addition, on the first night after washing my hair I realized that the hair dryer had broken down. As a result I slept with damp hair and woke up with a head cold. The hairdryer could not be fixed and there weren't any spare ones, so I asn't able to wash my my hair again for the remainder of my stay!!! Finally the breakfast buffet is inedible. Where else do you getcoffee out of coin machines? The pastries are worse than the ones you get in supermarkets! The toilets were clean but smelt indicating poor plumbing conditions. |

The Royal Astrid is a short stroll to Ostend's promenade and close to town so unless you are sightseeing you don't need a car. Whilst there is nothing specific to dislike about the hotel, we just found it rather basic and uninspiring. Breakfasts were adequate but bland and the bar and lounge area more utilitarian than sophisticated. During our stay we appeared to be the youngest guests there so it obviously has a good reputation amongst the elderly and disabled. We chose the hotel because it had a pool but it turned out to be too small for a swim. We ended up swimming at the Olympic size community pool across the road. |

This is the third time we have stayed in three years, The breakfast is first class, rooms are nice size and safe is very handy. Parking looks at first to be expensive but compared with car parks it's not bad. |

Close to the beach; swimming pool free of charge; after getting a room that stinked cigaretes, we complained and were upgraded to a better room ( which did not make receptionist happier ...) The hotel is adopted to tourism industry - no charm at all, poor breakfast quality , crowded breakfast room. Check out at 10.00 - otherwise you will pay an extra night. Personnel are not at all welcoming nor nice .Hotel is located close to a big road - you hear the traffic. |

Central location, very close to the beach, abundant breakfast (although only between 8 and 10 am!), swimming pool and jacuzzi (nice but small and crowded) Rooms absolutely did not correspond to the standard for a 3-star hotel (I can't understand how it got that rating!); We had explicitly requested a non-smoking room with a double bed, but when we arrived they could only offer us a smoking room with twin beds, with the excuse that our requests were not guaranteed and that rooms were allocated in advance to people who had booked earlier (then how come no one allocated a room to us when we booked?!?!); the room was not cleaned well and very dusty, the furniture was very old and consumed, the tv was too small to be watched from the bed and all the channels (7 in total!!!) were in Dutch only; we couldn't even search for other tv channels because the remote control was of a make different from the make of the the tv and had only a few basic functions working; there was a terrible smell coming from the corridor and a light in the entry hall that could not be switched off, providing us, literally, with a very bright atmosphere throughout the night; the bathroom did not have the usual amenities like soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc, but only two soap dispensers; and the worst of all: the water mixer of the shower did not function properly, so the water was either too cold or too hot, but never temperate! Taking a shower was a real challenge! Conlusion: if you respect yourself and your money, don't go there!!! |

It's nice that they have a pool and are close to the beach. A short walk to the centre. The wifi in the bar came in handy. The desk clerk was extremely rude, and seemed to take pleasure in denying our requests. The room was old and run-down. Breakfast was sloppy and chaotic. |

Hotel near to amenities, rooms good. You have to book a day in advance if you require dinner in the hotel. This proved a nuisance as nowhere did it tell you this. We weren't allowed in the restaurant for dinner as we hadn't booked. |

Hotel Princess is a very cozy family hotel where you will always be greeted warmly. The hotel is very well situated in the centre near the marina and 50 meters from the beach. |
The completely renovated Mondo Sandton Hotel is situated within just 150 meters from the beach and near the boulevard, casino, museums, the city park, fishing quay and the centre. |
Located in the heart of Ostend, the Best Western Hotel Imperial is situated in a quiet setting with excellent access to the city centre. Enjoy this location opposite the beach. |
Situated just a stone’s throw from Oostende’s stunning marina, in the heart of the city’s shopping district, this hotel benefits from a central location and friendly service. |
