Staff extremely friendly and helpful, rooms very nicely decorated, enough space, excellent breakfast, child friendly environment

Patrick Belgium

Very clean and modern - looked new or recently refurbished.

Daniel United Kingdom

Nice, clean and calm rooms. Very children friendly place: small presents for the kids upon arrival, play room next to the restaurant, with us having been seated close to it. Professional staff, almost anticipating your needs and wishes. We will come again.

Oliver Belgium

very quietly and relaxed furnished. electric charging in front of the hotel. great size room. even the toilets flush quietly.

Jimmy Belgium

Friendly staff, nice room, very clean, confortable ...

Rudi Belgium

The hotel is small and cosy. Our room was very clean and nice decorated. Breakfast was good. Staff is very polite and friendly. Will come back again.

Aliona Belgium

Beautiful decor, clean, very helpful and welcoming staff, free WiFi good enough for a video call, great location for hiking, several restaurants and cafes nearby

Margarita Belgium

Traveling with our 10 month old daughter and we were upgraded to a family room with a cot provided. Even though we had a travel cot with us this was very welcome. Very good breakfast selection and the restaurant is also highly recommended for dinner. A lovely beach theme to the decor.

Robert Belgium

Excellent quality and value for money being a 3 star rated hotel. We enjoy the location away from the crowds of the towns on the coast and the beautiful walk through protected nature area down to a deserted beach. Only 5 minutes drive into center of De Panne. Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast served (with a smile) in the room each morning, nice room service menu for dinner in the room, dining-table and comfortable chairs placed in the room for the purpose (corona measures). Rooms are spacious and well equipped, beds are large and very comfortable with fresh crisp linen and plenty of pillows to choose from. Convenient parking in front of the hotel. Nice in-house restaurant (when it is again allowed to open), and very nice terrace when the weather is good enough (which it unfortunately was not during our visit this time). Discovered this hotel some years ago, and are coming back each year.

Thomas Belgium

Large room with space for a small table, which is handy when you want to eat in the room (like in these Corona times) Very friendly staff that went a step further at every request (late dinner, possibility of getting an extra night even when they were fully booked)
