Stayed one night in the family room. Spotlessly clean & super helpful staff. Room itself had a large double & bunkbed in adjoining room - perfect for a family with young kids.

A fabulous hotel close to Ostend Railway station. Lovely spacious rooms with a seperate wc and a bathroom/shower room. I even had a balcony. The room had a Nespresso machine and a kettle. There was a room safe and an iron and ironing board in the room. There was a large TV with an extensive choice of channels. Also a Roberts radio. There was a fridge in the room and they had complimentary water. The breakfast in the morning was excellent with plenty of choice. There was a large bar as well with a well stocked line of drinks. A great place to stay with friendly staff.

Room was very comfortable. Brand new hotel with very modern facilities. Housekeeping everyday did a great job. Common spaces in the hotel were immaculate. No amenities in the hotel. Very much like staying in one of those apartment rental hotels. They did offer breakfast daily for a fee, and the breakfast room was amazing looking. Not a breakfast eater myself, I did not partake. Front desk staff were amazing. I called ahead of time to check on parking. I was advised there is a 2 Euro per night parking garage nearby, but I was also informed there is free parking a block or so away.

Lovely!
Great experience – really wonderful hotel with super helpful staff. The only thing I would mention is that housekeeping tends to clean the rooms quite late. I understand that the arrival rooms need to be prioritized, but it’s still a bit annoying and disruptive if you return from a long day at the beach or sightseeing, wanting to unwind or shower, and find that your room hasn’t been cleaned yet—or is being cleaned just as you arrive back. In our case, this often happened between 5:30 and 7 pm, which just feels too late. Also the parking situation could be improved, there is a parking nearby but it's unfortunately very costly.

Très belle découverte à Ostende ! Nous avons passé une excellente nuit au The Ostendian. Le personnel est très sympathique et a fait l’effort de parler français, ce qui est vraiment appréciable. La décoration est magnifique, originale et pensée dans les moindres détails. Mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner : beaucoup de choix et des produits de qualité. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Zeer vriendelijk onthaal. Ontbijt is gewoon heerlijk, zeer uitgebreid. Zeer nette en ruime kamer met een mooi balkon. Enige kleine minpuntje: het hotel is rustig gelegen, maar wel ver van het strand.

Dejligt værelse og hotel. Gulvet blev støvsuget men savner at det bliver vasket. Ellers glimrende rengøring.

Die Zimmer sind ganz toll; alles ist neu und gepflegt. Die Zimmergrösse ist sehr passend (Soul Room). Balkon haben wir auch genutzt. Toll ist die zentrale Lage und die Parkmöglichkeiten in der Nähe.
