Hotel Oude Abdij

Bland Hotel, Superb food Reception was very pleasant, but room was bland and cold. Room requires thermostat on radiator - when turned on it heated the room well but then needed to be turned off before the room got too hot. Room needs decoration such as pictures on wall - bland white walls. King bed was two singles pushed together and a sheet over the top. We arrived in the dark and it was raining. Carpark is not lit well and I nearly drove into the fishpond! Saving feature was the restaurant food, which was excellent (dinner - set menu and breakfast buffet).

A great place to stop over before the ferry. This is an excellent hotel, especially convenient for a first or last night before boarding the ferry. The ground floor has been expensively restored and improved and, together with the grounds, are a great place to visit. The food is excellent, a good breakfast is included, and the optional dinner we had was superb, with great food and extremely generous portions. The rooms, however, leave something to be desired. They are clean but dark and cheaply furnished and the decor very plain, more what one would expect in a dormitory. For a one night stop over, its fine, but I would not want to stay longer, which is a pity as everything else is fine and the staff are very attentive.

Stayed here for 3 nights on a Leger Battlefield tour. Didn't know what to expect after reading the differing reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. The bedroom was basic but clean. We didn't spend much time in the room but the beds were very comfortable and the shower was brilliant. Breakfast was typically continental but also with added scrambled eggs and bacon. There was something for everyone if you weren't the fussy type. We dined at the hotel and the steak in mushroom sauce was the best I'd ever had. Beer was reasonably priced at just under £5 for half a litre of Jupiler. The staff were very friendly and also very attentive. I would definitely stay here again 👌

Absolutely horrendous. Where do i begin? Firstly, rooms were riddled with mosquitoes and mould, which is a sever health and safety issue. Bed sheets were all stained, some looked like blood. Breakfast was tidied up and ran out very quick. But according to friends who woke up at a ridiculous hour in order to have it, they said it was horrible! They had no rules, as all night kids were running around and ding dong ditching us. To be honest, it completely ruined my trip. The bathrooms were as basic as basic can be. I understand this not a 5 star hotel, but a three star should have a working tv, clean bedsheets, rooms and bathrooms and at some toiletries at least soap (none of which we got). As well as this, towels should be included and there should be a 24hr reception which again there was not! We asked for the wifi (which it says it has) but there was no one around to ask or anything to tell us the password. I did not see one member of staff throughout my whole stay. Although not mentioned in the description, this is definitely a youth hostel! I am disappointed to say the least. STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE!

I recently organised a Classic Car Trip from the UK to Iper (Ypres), having stayed at this hotel previous we booked 10 rooms, only one couple had previously stayed there before. Everyone in the group thought the hotel, rooms, food and staff were excellent. The set meals were delicious and within our party there was two special dietary requirements which were catered for excellently, in fact the one person with a Gluten Free diet was amazed at the and commented that she had never had so good Gluten Free meals. The hotel is situated in a lovely area not only to explore World War 1 sites but lots more to offer. Special thanks to Lindsay for assistance in locating a local garage when our 73 year old car had problems We will be returning again and again

Stayed here for four nights in September 2024 on a Battlefield tour of the region. Breakfast was included and most of us dined in every night. The hotel staff - although often very busy (especially in the restaurant) - were friendly and extremely helpful; one could not fault them. The bedroom - whilst a tad sparsely furnished - was perfectly satisfactory and clean, as was the included bathroom. I had a very good night's sleep every night. The food - both breakfast and evening meal - could not be faulted. Breakfasts were basically Continental but with some small cooked options, and were perfectly satisfactory (and their hot drinks machine did a very nice coffee!). The evening meals - whether al la carte or fixed menu options - were well cooked and provided a good end to a busy day's travelling; the food options were well thought-out and pleasantly varied. The restaurant service in the evening could be a tad slow, but I guess the difficulties in obtaining enough good staff these days mitigated against having the waiter/waitress standing by one's table the whole time. The hotel is set in pleasant grounds, located in a small Belgian village. All in all an enjoyable experience, and I would be happy to stay here again should I visit the region again.
