Friendly staff on arrival The parking permit required to use the lot is FREE - just ask for a pass at the desk, and return before you leave Lots on offer at the breakfast bar - plentiful vegetarian choices QUIET ROOMS - slept 8 hours solid with no disturbances, and the hotel was sold out (or at least the sign said it was)

no bags or rucksacks in the breakfast lounge i get you dont wish customers to take 'extras' for the day ahead , but surely it wont break the bank if an apple or banana goes out the door - clearly the premises have had previous occupants who took advantage of the selection on hand

Brilliant place, great facilities and lovely bathroom. Loved the beds and the mini fridge in the bathroom. There were sockets next to the beds, which allowed us to charge up all our phones. Overall, this was an excellent place that offered great comfort.

I can't think of anything that we didn't like. Maybe that you needed to have a disc for your car in the car park and because we didn't, we couldn't have stayed longer than 9 am. However, as we had to travel, we didn't want to stay longer anyway, so it didn't affect us too much.

Hotel was very well presented with excellent staff. Lots of drinks options from the bar with plenty of seating and tables. Room was really nice with a lovely shower room. Location is great with the beautiful village square with lots of bars and restaurants only a few minutes walk away. Breakfast was delicious with absolutely loads of options to suit everyone.

Nothing really. I would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Good comfortable room; Aalter is a great location if you want to travel by public transport to Gent or Brugge

Staff a bit mixed. One person extremely helpful whereas the person looking after the night shift was a little unhelpful

On arrival we were upgraded to a superior room, it was enormous, quite new and very comfortable. Hotel Orchidee is well placed for travellers being quite close to the main through road N44 and within a short walk of the town centre bars and cafes, we found ample parking just around the corner. A good buffet breakfast is provided with an excellent selection of both hot and cold food.

We liked everything about Hotel Orchidee, it suited us perfectly and would have no hesitation in returning if we pass this way again.

Perfect location. 5minutes off the motorway, plenty of parking. 15 minute stroll to train station. Warm welcome, speedy check in. Exceptionally clean in every area. Comfortable bedroom, great bathroom. Plenty of choice at breakfast, everything was very fresh.

Would have been nice to be able to have an evening meal at the hotel. However, very close to any number of great restaurants and take aways.

Breakfast was great. There was a lot more choice than we anticipated. The bedroom was amazingly clean and had enough space for what we needed. The hotel was very easy to find from the main roads. Parking was readily available.

The hotel itself was great and the staff were so lovely and friendly. They made us feel extremely welcome. The only thing we weren't aware of was the hotel being right next to a cemetery. Nothing the hotel could do to avoid this obviously.

Convenient location for us for an overnight stop when driving from the UK to Germany. Parking was easy and free (with blue parking disk) in a public car park in front of the building. Some restaurants nearby. Room clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was good..

Pillows were small.

Breakfast: good choice of foods and plenty of it. Room: decent size but needed a facelift. Location was very good with access to main roads nearby. Parking was good too.

All the hotel needed an update, some parts scruffy, not what one would expect for it's 4-star rating.

The breakfast has a great spread and it's so convenient from the motorway when travelling to or from Calais.

The bed had far too much give in it and the mattress was sagging a bit. The water saving fitting on the bathroom tap made it barely useable.
