    Nice hotel for a short stay

    It is not written anywhere that the reception desk closes at 7pm. Actually, in my booking it was written that it works until midnight. Well, it is not a big problem as you can check-in and get your key at their "sister" hotel in 0.5km distance, but still would be nice to mention it in advance.

    It is located right in the city center and very easy to find, room was very clean, bed and pillows are comfortable. "Electronic key" is a very nice thing. We did not have breakfast as we needed to leave very early, so can't comment on it.

    Radiators did not work. The room was very cold. Virtual keys require the phone to be charged which means if it goes off, you get locked out of the hotel and room. The hotel may want to consider putting charging stations in the lobby.

    Great Location.

    Lovely hotel, but no staff on hand if problems arise.

    There were no staff available. We came in and out multiple times a day and never saw anyone on reception. Check in was done via our phone and check out was automatic. In theory this is fine, but when we needed information, there was no one available to provide it. We filled in the online form and received no answer. When we called the number provided, we were sent to another hotel to speak to staff there.

    The room was large and comfy. The hotel was right in the city centre, meaning we could pop back quickly and easily. The hotel as a whole was very clean and had everything we needed.

    Road outside was being resurfaced so would temporarily have been difficult for less mobile guests. Piano was out of tune !

    Quiet and comfortable- very close to the main square.

    Trash bags on the terrace of the neighbouring building could be seen from the room (no big deal, though) Internet connection was lacking when I tried to pay by card - the amount had to be deducted from my account with the computer, which was a good solution but took a bit of time (no big deal, though) Breakfast was a bit too expensive for us

    Central location, friendly staff, perfect digitalisation, everything we needed

    There was no keycard to enter the room, it was via a website which is fine. However, when entering the room a key was needed to start the electricity. Luckily we had plenty of membership card that we could use and which worked but not everyone would know this

    Clean room, easy online check in, and no hassle with keys

    No staff around the property and check-in had to be made quite far away in another hotel. Could have informed about self check-in better on the booking site. It is still unclear to me, if you can check-in without visiting the other hotel.

    Twin room was quite small, but enough for us. Easy access to city center. Lots of restaurants and cafés nearby.

    Received message to pick up the keys in another hotel, but the staff of that hotel told that I should go strait to Drie Paardekens because the reception was open. I required a quiet (backroom) room and got a room at the street side, first floor. The shower cabinet in bathroom was very small, difficult to enter because the toilet is blocking the entrance of the shower. The toilet is small and very low to the ground..... Not many local TV programs.

    The location is in a small street in front of the St Rombouts, the middle of the center and good neighbourhood. Mixed feelings with internet access to hotel and room. You need a smart phone, and don't loose it, or you you can't enter the hotel and call a special service.

    There is NO staff on the premises. One has to get the access key from another hotel 400 metres away. That's no fun on a bitterly cold winter's night, with a heavy suitcase. I was also cold in the room.

    Location is great, and it's a fair-sized room and bathroom.

    We were not informed that breakfast would not be provided on a Monday morning until we went to the breakfast room and it was too late to go to the hotel Elisabeth

    Wonderful location, quiet, comfortable. Great view from the breakfast room. Fantastic service after I left a hat in my room.
