The apartment is very spacious and is close to lots of nice things in central Tournai (the train station, river, shops, restaurants, etc.). I especially loved the breakfast, it is a great idea! The hosts give you a few coupons to pick up fresh pastries at a nearby bakery (around 1 minute away).

Tournai appeared to be quiet when we arrived but it really came to life in the evenings. We tried a couple of very good restaurants, one of which we had booked in advance, but many others were fully booked; an indication that they were also good. Several splendid bars with, of course, excellent Belgian beers. We had lunch at some of the restaurants in the main square, again very good but beware of the portion sizes, my wife and I should have shared a meal.

Great little town.
Great little town. Nice square and loads of shops/cafes/bars. Also a lot of small specialised/artisan shops. Easy to navigate with tall landsmarks. Great river walkways.
It felt pretty safe to me.

Lovely town centre.
Lovely town centre. I arrived by train and it was an easy walk to the centre of town and then around the town centre to all the attractions. I stayed only overnight but in two days saw a lot of the historic centre of town, cathedral and churches, bridge and the textile museum. Could have stayed another day. Perfect place for a stopover.

All the attractions mentioned in Lonely Planet for Tournai...
All the attractions mentioned in Lonely Planet for Tournai were good and well worth visiting especially the cathedral and the Grand Place, just a stroll from the appartement. Most surprising though was the tapestry museum TAMAT which exceeded our expectations. A pity the belfry was closed for renovation.

Very interesting historical town with lots to see.
Very interesting historical town with lots to see. Good variety of shops. Museums and art gallery. Compact enough to walk everywhere. Train station with regular frequent services to all parts of Belgium and beyond.The only problems were that most of the Cathedral is closed for major renovations for the foreseeable future.Similarly the main square in front of the railway station including all the car parking is closed for refurbishment. Be careful where you park. I got a ticket one day because I misread the restrictions.

A hidden Belgian gem,however, a place very often omitted by tourists, alas. And it is a really interesting, historical site, with a magnificent cathedral, bell-tower, cosy streets and squares, several interesting museums (the Folklore Museum is simply amazing) and full of restaurants and bars. Come on the second Sunday of September - it is a day of a religious procession and many other celebrations in the city.
Information was provided by text on how to access the keys. In French and in English! So, all very clear and easy instructions to follow.
Kitchen was well equipped and stocked with basic commodities: coffee filters, coffee, tea, butter, jams, milk sugar, … but also, pepper, salt, oil, vinegar.
Regular check-ins to see if there was something we needed.
Central location in Tournai, nothing in the city is far away.
The Proprieteress is very friendly and helpful and went to great lengths to order us a pizza when we arrived. The rooms are fine and the facility is nice and just at the edge of the urbanised area. Tournai is a very old city and we stayed only one night but recommend two nights in order to visit the many interesting musea. The optional breakfast is good and if you order an omlet it's outstanding.
Very friendly and helpful owner and staff, great location just minutes walk from the centre of town, good breakfast. The rooms are themed, along musical/cultural/artistic lines. We stayed in "Van Gogh" (twice actually) and its well done. On the Belgium/France border with that mix of culture, and spitting distance from the Calais terminals.
Excellent location, safe parking in the building. Beautiful apartment with a view of the Schelde and the towers of the cathedral of Tournai. Very comfy living and dining room, nicely decorated, totally equiped kitchen with tasty coffee made by deLonghi, very good beds and quiet bedrooms, good showers with hot water and soft towels.
The hotel is ideally located in the vicinity of the Grand Place in Tournai, in an interesting building with a historical look outside but modern inside. Two entrances on both sides of the building help you to get in :=) My room was comfortable (fantastic bed!), there was a little refrigerator in the room, nothing to complain about.
Hotel is in dreadful condition, run down & dirty. It has a good location but be aware that there is a biker bar literally in front of hotel blasting heavy metal music half the night. Lady at front desk very helpful but there is only so much she could do. Broken shower, no WiFi in room, filthy rug, jammed smoke detector.
There are numerous things i can say about this property but the highlights are , place is very clean, it is in the middle of the centre you can walk to about anything and it is quiet enough to offer tranquility, it apartments are equipped with everything you would need, kitchen stuff, bathroom supplies, linens.. Etc
Room was perfect, welcome snack was an excellent and copious greek mezze, water and white wine complementary in the refrigerator, breakfast served in the room was excellent with a lot of choices including baked eggs. Staff is super friendly and wants to make your stay perfect. walking distance from the centre.
We stayed in Tournai due to it's location between Lille and Brussels. It was more affordable but the location provided to be it's own attraction with some great restaurants near by. The apartment which was central and had parking structure right underneath provided a very easy and stress-free experience.
It is in a good location in the centre of town, close to bars and restaurants. We were invited to park our motorbike in the courtyard behind the hotel rather than in the street outside. There was coffee making facilities in the room.
We were given a room on the back as it was rather noisy in front.
The apartment is very spacious and is close to lots of nice things in central Tournai (the train station, river, shops, restaurants, etc.). I especially loved the breakfast, it is a great idea! The hosts give you a few coupons to pick up fresh pastries at a nearby bakery (around 1 minute away).
The hotel was cozy and had a nice ambiance… there was lots of movement to make you feel at home, but then the rooms are quite private and separated. I really appreciated the open coffee/tea and water fountain. It was a small touch that should be everywhere! Also nice location and nice staff.
An interesting property that is good value for money and convenient for the town centre or if you are stopping over on the way to somewhere else. The host was nice and obviously proud of his property. Which is very clean and entertaining in its design. The bed is very comfortable.
Nice appartement, we liked the way it was decorated, the style and the fournitures they used. There are some free parking spots not far and from there you can reach the centre within minutes. The host was helpful.
The hotel staff are wonderfully helpful, and the hotel is very near the cathedral and the museums. The hotel was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions, and the breakfast was much better than expected.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was basic, but had all we needed: a bed and a clean bathroom. Paid parking right in front of the hotel on the square.
