We enjoyed our stay very much. Very nice and helpful staff who couldn't do enough for us. The room that we had was large and comfortable and very clean. it looks like they have been refurbished. The breakfast buffet was great - well stocked with both hot and cold selections.We ate in the restaurant, which is also very popular with locals, on two occasions. they food and presentation is of a high standard. The House wines are also good.There is plenty of free parking and the Wifi works well.The terrace overlooks the Schelde and in the right weather you can relax with a drink and watch the ships going to and from Antwerp.Its just 15 minutes walk to the market Square where there are good restaurants and a range of shops. Its a good base for touring as we did. Ghent; Antwerp;Bruges are driveable within one hour for each. To the North thru the Schelde Tunnel are really lovely Towns, Villages and Beaches and the roads are not crowded.We chose tis hotel as its a Hampshire property, looked good and had easy/free parking and found looking around that this hotel in our opinion is best in the area. They do like feedback and during our stay mentioned that we didn't appreciate an automatic bathroom light which wakes you up if you need to use at night and that we think it a bit backward that you have to get a key for the mini safe leaving a deposit - why not have a code! Lastly that they have a good coffee machine at Breakfast but only one so when busy a queue forms. We recommend highly.
