Grand Hotel de Flandre

This hotel has been OK before, but they're in the middle of a refurbishment right now. No lift (which they don't tell you about until late on the night before you arrive), but also the air conditioning in the rooms does not work because of the renovations, and they don't tell you that at all. The rooms, especially on the top floor, get very hot, but you can't have the window open because the enormous secondary glazing they have to keep out noise swings out into the room and across half of the bed. I'm sure it will be better once the renovations are complete, but until then, don't bother.

The hotel is currently undergoing renovation, which means there is no lift until June 2026, and they only told us this the night before we arrived. The room at the end of the corridor is not great ... the toilet is in a separate en-suite, with no hand-washing facility, from the bathroom. There is secondary glazing to keep out street noise, but it's very large and cumbersome to open. Beds were very soft, room a bit warm. Staff were good at addressing some of these issues, and it looks like the renovation should make the place a lot more modern when it's finally finished, but better communication would have been good.

Lack of a lift means you have to carry stuff up. And there are a few few floors to climb.

Stayed here before, always friendly and helpful service. It's a little dated, but decent enough and in a great location right opposite the train station.

Right in front of the train station. So convenient. Very clean and staff very polite.

Overall we had a nice stay and enjoyed the clean room (we did notice a very cute little mouse below our mini fridge). Cleaning, towels and room was very good and their timing too!! The hotel looks a bit shabby from the outside and the entry a bit outdated, but for us not a problem. Receptionists were all very helpful and friendly. We did take breakfast in the hotel. A bit expensive and lots of options in the neighborhood.

This hotel was a great place to stay. It is located right opposite the train station so it’s very central. The rooms are clean and comfortable with great beds. Their breakfast was tasty with lots of selection. They subsidize parking in a nearby parking garage as there is no street parking. Enjoyed our stay!

Old building with some interesting decorative features. Very small but adequate room with the worst bathroom possible. Knees pressed against shower door when on loo and the tiniest shower with mouldy grout and chipped tiles. Water pressure was so bad that i couldn't wash my hair.

Had a very nice stay at this hotel and the staff is very professional and friendly. Location was perfect right next to the central station and a short walk from main attractions in town. The room is nice with coffee and tea facilities, very spacious bathroom and excellently soundproofing.
