"Excellent welcome in French, quiet, clean room with a kettle, two cups of coffee and tea provided. Large bed, bathroom with bathtub, table and two chairs. Smiling, attentive, and helpful staff who speak good French. Impeccable, clean room, nothing to complain about."

"Functional studio in a good, quiet location, suitable for children"

"Strong retro atmosphere"

"Booked a two-night stay at The Ostendian via Trip.com on a non-refundable rate. Unfortunately, I became ill right before the trip and couldn’t travel. I reached out to both the hotel and Trip.com to ask if any flexibility (rescheduling or credit) was possible, but in the end both refused. I understand the policy, but I’m very disappointed that there was absolutely no goodwill or flexibility in this situation. Ended up paying for a stay I couldn’t use."

"A pleasant enough place, great location and good facilities for groups but the decor of the rooms is straight from the 1980s. Each floor is colour coded in a garish palette such as flaming orange, Baby-Vomit Green or Barbie Pink etc.. and the lighting in our room could be set only to "interrogation" level, (where two spotlights shine at you as you lay in bed) or 1980s nostalgia mode, where you admire an uncovered ancient fluorescent light, beneath the mirror - 240V bayonet fittings easily accessible to the tiny fingers of any small and curious children that you don't value much. Car parking spaces are secured against unauthorised access by a chunking great padlock and a heath-robinson hinged steel contraption. Both of the possible EV charging spaces I had requested (and been assured in return) as reserved for my use were instead blocked by conventional non EV cars. The receptionist refused to contact either of the named drivers mentioned on the parking slips displayed in the windscreens, and instead suggested I drive into the central parking facility and charge there instead! - I wish that it was possible to educate such people about EV charge points having large non charging activity penalties, or why EV charge point parking spaces should not be issued to non EV cars - but I do not think the Hotel staff have any real interest or understanding of the consequences for guests in front of them being somehow forced to waste a large part of the following day to compensate for the staff members' choices. My simple advice if you are considering staying here - and particularly if you drive an EV - is that you should choose a different Hotel."

"We booked a standard room, which put us in the back of the side building. Next time, we'll need to book a superior room for a better view."

"Some manuals are missing. For example, you cannot adjust the heating and the microwave is difficult to operate without a decent manual."

"Very nice hotel with its retro style, located 2 steps from the seawall, it is located close to everything without the disadvantages of night noise. Highly recommended"

"I've stayed at this hotel several times and I like it. It's well located and has a pool and sauna. The breakfast is plentiful. It's best to stay on a higher floor. This time, I was on the mezzanine level (between the ground and first floors) and there was noise outside from the bars across the street."
