Reviews and Ratings
During my stay, I appreciated the spacious room that offered a lovely terrace view of the main square and the sea, although it reminded me of hotels that were once luxurious but now feel a bit rundown. The location is top-notch, being right in the heart of Knokke and just a short walk from the beach. However, the service experience left something to be desired, particularly regarding the parking situation and noise disturbances. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you prioritize location over some facilities and service aspects.
The hotel has a great location right in the heart of Knokke and close to the beach. However, the rooms are a bit outdated and lack a warm feel, especially for the price. The service could use some improvement as parking was full and we weren't offered much help. Overall, it's a mixed bag but the location is definitely a highlight.
I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a great location, just steps from the beach and the town center. However, I was a bit disappointed with the rooms, which felt outdated and not quite worth the price. The staff were friendly, but the parking situation was a hassle as it was full upon arrival. Overall, it’s a decent choice, but there are some areas for improvement.
The hotel has a great location in an old building on Albertsplein, but the rooms are in desperate need of refurbishment and can get quite hot. While I found the staff to be friendly, the service overall was a bit inconsistent, especially when it came to parking information. The dining experience was decent, but there’s room for improvement. For the price, I expected a bit more in terms of room quality and amenities.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic—right in the heart of everything I wanted to see and do. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. On the other hand, the rooms felt a bit outdated and a bit noisy during my stay, which was less than ideal for the price I paid. The dining options were pretty average too.
