Front desk reception very good and check in easy. Receptionist advised about parking overnight, provided maps & generally was very helpful. Can get a voucher from reception for reduced fee on parking at Churchill though still not cheap. We checked in early and were given a room upstairs via the lift without any problems. Comfortable room, clean with fresh linen... More

Emerging from the train station, we spotted the hotel just a few minutes stroll away. Booking months ahead via their website, we got a half-price deal of only 60 Euros per night for a superior room with breakfast. While we did not notice anything particularly superior about it, the room (number 23) was comfortable and very clean. We had a... More

This hotel is in a good location for everything in Ostend and the staff are friendly. We arrived by car and instead of parking in the underground car park outside the hotel we parked in the Churchill Car Park on the opposite side of the road, it was much cheaper. The room we had was at the top of the... More

We booked this hotel after reading all the good reviews on this site. We parked at the public car park which was indeed quite expensive (EUR 17 per day). Staff was helpful and location is excellent, closed to the harbour and all the restaurants. There was three of us, my husband, my stepson and myself and we thought the triple... More

Minutes walk from the train station sits the Strand (Du Bassin) hotel. Very friendly staff and excellent food. No AMEX accepted. Stayed five nights and the room was just right for me.

We have stayed at this hotel three times now - I think that speaks volumes! The staff are very friendly, never too busy to help. We arrived after midnight on the first night of our stay, and the night porter lady was very welcoming. The rooms are spacious, have great views of the harbour and are very clean and well... More

We had two rooms. Hotel is located in a quiet corner of town, no noise at night. Easy walk into town. Breakfast was good, nice coffee. Waiters rather serious, not friendly, but very efficient. Decor and atmosphere of restaurant was pleasant. Rooms were basic, but clean and comfortable, except ours was too warm, even when tempearature outside was cool. A... More
