It was everything I expected and the evening meal when we arrived was great. Having the Hooge Crater and (small part of) the battlefield within the grounds was a huge bonus. Parking was fine and the air con worked very well. The road outside was being repaired, so we had to go around to get back as only one direction worked, but otherwise very good.

My main complaint was that the restaurant was closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, which when coupled to the road up problem led to a lot of restaurant searching. The bar however was open, so not an insuperable problem, as long as we returned in a good time.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff. It's next door to a WWI museum and sits on the old front line, with remains of trenches in the grounds, so if you are interested in WWI it's a perfect spot. The bed was massive and very comfortable.

The only issue is that I was using public transport and part of the road outside was closed. This meant an hour plus to get there from Ypres by bus (actually quicker to walk, which I did...) Even when the road is open properly, the bus doesn't run into the evening and is only once an hour, so you are probably better if you have a bike or car.

This was a wonderful hotel for visiting the sights of the Ypres Salient of WW1. The Hooghe Crater is now a lake in the grounds, there are trenches also in the grounds and many artifacts of intrest from the Great War. So central to the major places in the allied push for Passchendaele and the many resulting cemeteries and museums that have emerged. The staff were just lovely, the food ( although not a huge choice) was excellent and generous. We would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. What a find.

Nothing

What a great hotel. The location is perfect for visiting Ypres with a short journey (about 5 minutes) to the Menin Gate. The hotel is in the grounds of some WW1 trenches which is now simple tourist attraction (if that is the right word) available for 1 Euro. Next door is the Hooge Crater Museum which is over the road from the cemetery. Upon arrival the lady on reception was very helpful. The breakfast whilst simple is exactly what one would hope to start the day.... Coffee, meats and cheese and enough pastry's and bread. Finally, a lovely bar.... On our first night this was open as we returned and we could have a nice couple of drinks with no rushing as we were the last two in. The second night the bar was not open (but it was later) and I wonder if they close up when nobody is about. An excellent hotel and one not only would I recommend, but I would also use again

I booked a single room. My ensuite room was spacious, clean and functional. The windows if opened had mosquito mesh in the frame, so in hot weather the room could be aired without the worry of critters. Daily room service was great, breakfast provided a good choice of continental and cereal and the atmosphere was warm and relaxing. This hotel provides good car parking and is located conveniently to nearby places of interest and cycle routes. 3 out of the 5 mornings I had to be away before breakfast so they provided a packed breakfast/lunch to take with me!

I was happy with everything as it was.

This hotel is well worth a stay,have been loads of times. Love to stay in the hotel it's self,every room different nothing matches which adds to the character and charm.stayed in new block this time,which has very very large rooms kitchen you can use tea coffee cooker microwave. So clean you can eat off ALL THE FLOORS

other than them now not cooking at weekends(understand why)loads of eating places. There isn't anything bad to say. And we are always remembered and asked what we have been doing.

We stayed in the old part of the hotel overlooking Hooge Crater - beautiful serene place with stunning scenery, flowers and the occasional flock of sheep. We enjoyed a meal in the restaurant which was most convenient after a long day of travel. The breakfast was exceptional for a buffet style breakfast. Nice, friendly staff in a beautiful old hotel, Plenty of parking on site.

No tea/coffee making facilities in room. Nothing else

Absolutely charming hotel on the outskirts of Ypres, steeped in history with war history within the grounds and a museum about 50 metres away. Really beautiful place, good parking, clean comfortable rooms and extremely nice breakfast. Helpful staff, family run, cant recommend it highly enough. About a 10 min drive into Ypres Centre but so worth staying outside because of the history of this place.

We stayed here last year when exploring the WW1 sites, coming back from Germany on a motorcycle tour, we needed a hotel not too far from the Chunnel. Accordingly, we stayed here again. Lovely hotel, we had beds in the old part this year, not the more modern separate block. It is situated in an WW1 battlefield and has an outdoor museum, the lake is an old mine crater! Just as good as last year and we had a pleasant stay. I would certainly recommend this hotel and would stay here again if needed.

It was all good, nothing bad to say.

Bedroom and bathroom were very spacious. Beds were comfortable too. The breakfast is superb with lots of lovely fresh choices. The breakfast room itself is gorgeous, decorated so nice for Christmas. The staff were so helpful and friendly, always greeting us with a smile. The grounds are what is truly amazing, an outdoor museum of WWI artifacts.

An electric kettle in the rooms would be a nice touch. Other than that I can’t think of anything I didn’t like.
