Elena-eleonora Germany

The breakfast is excellent - great cook That there is a cafe/restuarant attached with long opening hours

Sheila Belgium

Nice hotel, very close to the sea and walking distance to the station. We had room with the view to0 the sea/port, only small part of the sea visible, more the port, but its beautiful. Rooms are clean, friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast (breads, Danish pastry, different choice of eggs, cornflakes, yogurth, juice, tea or coffee), due to covid, were eating in the room, but that's even better, more privacy and can enjoy the morning. Big comfortable bathroom with bath and shower!

Otherwise there are 2 free parkings one at the Maria-Hendrika park at the entrance of Ostend,another one at the otherside E-side of the harbour vismijnlaan(that's the adres you have to put in your Gps). At the lighthouse ther's a free pont you can catch that moors just in front of our hotel.
