Check-in system was nice. Covid-proof breakfast in the room was great in these awkward times. The best location, middle in the centre.

Eliot

The lobby was nice and staff was so so kind and thoughtful, much better than expected! Will come back again ! :) Thank you.

H Belgium

Kind and helpfulstaff, very cosy room and great breakfast.

Eva Belgium

Really enjoyed my brief stay here. The location was good (albeit busy to get to, along a shopping street, but easily avoidable), the room was just right and the bed was VERY comfortable. I did not come into contact with any other guests and saw only one member of staff briefly when I checked in. This was perfect for me, as I was trying hard to stay away from others during the pandemic. I didn't have breakfast and left my key in the mailbox as suggested, so all good. During my visit, I walked along the seafront and had a decent vegan meal (two days before all restaurants were closed due to Covid) at a place by the sea.

Cyndee Belgium

I received a bigger room than the one I ordered for the same price. Excellent location in the center of Oostend, lots of restaurants in the neighborhood.

Luk Belgium

Super location for getting around the bars and restaurants very close to beach 5min walk hotel very clean and staff very helpful and also provide good parking 2 minutes walk from hotel at a reasonable price good all round hotel Would stay there again

Paul United Kingdom

I really enojoyed the short stay in Hotel Cardiff. The place is small, but with cozy and home atmosphere. The value for money is very good and just perfect for a short trip to the sea. The localisation is perfect, close to every kind of facilities and the seaside. The service was very nice, helpful and oriented.
