Friendly Hotel near the main railway station
A well-situated hotel near the main railway station, bus station, and the city center. The hotel itself is compact and generally well-kept. It's lovely to still be able to enjoy a bathtub in the bathroom, as these are becoming very rare in hotels these days.
The hot water was sometimes a little short, especially after 9:00 a.m., and only lukewarm in the evening. The breakfast spread was okay, and the DIY hot plate for cooking bacon and eggs yourself exactly how you like them was wonderful. The staff were communicative and very friendly. We very much enjoyed the smiles in the morning when entering the breakfast room.
There is no 24-hour reception, but the staff can be quickly contacted. On our last day, after checkout, we were able to leave our luggage in the "sister" Focus Hostel just down the road, which was perfect.
Kortrijk itself is quite small, but given its location near Lille in France, Ostend with its sandy beaches, and Bruges and Ghent, it is perfect for day trips to many other places.
