A single no frills room, compact with large shower room. No fridge, safety box or closet. Wonderful breakfast. Very convenient, close to the beach, the park, and public transport.

Booked this hotel based on the previous reviews, however we were very disappointed. The room was very grim and had a horrible smell. To be quite honest it was the worst room we have stayed in for years. The hotels only saving grace was the lovely breakfast Ostend is very nice but it is very expensive to park (€25 overnight) Probably we were unfortunate with which room we were allocated but it was nothing like the photos shown on their website.

Room was really small, but as a solo traveler, I cant really complain. It had all the amenities I needed. The hotel is conveniently located to the city center and the beach. The staff was exceptionally excellent, friendly and willing to take the time to offer recommendations.

No gym (not really)
It was an alright stay, and the location is fabulous - the only thing I will mention is that the 'fitness centre' has only two machines both of which were broken :(

Disappointing and not as good as reviews suggest.
Hi we booked this hotel for 4 nights over the Christmas period but unfortunately needed to go home early after the first night as our 14 month old baby was ill. Basically good location- extortionate parking costs though so factor this in. Hotel itself very dated. Carpets in bedroom dirty and didn’t feel comfortable with crawling, walking baby on them. Bed mattress and pillows incredibly uncomfortable. Four poster ‘curtains’ so dusty I couldn’t sleep without my inhaler. Bathroom ridiculously tiny. Toilet squashed up against the bath. Bath mouldy around the edges. Breakfast-average. One member of staff lovely but management really unempathic about our ill daughter and insisted on charging us for the next night despite us giving notice at 8.00am. He insisted that we check out by 3.00pm so obviously double charged that room for the night st our expense. Not the nicest especially on Christmas Day. Would definitely not recommend this hotel to families and won’t return ourselves.

Hotel with style and character close to beach
Oozes character and style, lovely, friendly, helpful guys on reception. Buffet breakfast was amazing, so very beautifully presented and a huge selection to choose from, coffee was very nice too. We wanted to extend our stay but they were full, that says it all. To quote Arnold, "we'll be back".

Nice and enjoyable stay as usual, we always say stay at De Hofkamers when in Ostend. Most friendly staff, clean and comfortable four poster bed at a most convenient location a stone throw from the beach. Delicious champagne breakfast not to be missed!

9 Nights in Ostend
I stayed 9 nights and all the staff were really pleasant and couldn't do enough for me. The room was on the small side (it was a single room though so should be expected), very clean and the bathroom modern. It is central to everything and a short walk to the beach.

Great family owned hotel
The best thing about this hotel, was the great level of personal service for whatever question or issue you might have. The hotel is not perfect, but then what hotel or home is, the most important things you require of a hotel are all there and these are of a very good quality. I would single out the staff member who was there every morning as we all came down for breakfast; her smile was unfailing and her desire to meet our needs was undiminished even at the end of a long service. That's what you need from a hotel not all the other rubbish that people tend to spend hours complaining about in as many websites they can find.

Hotel is convenient for all amenities of Oostende
My family and I love this hotel, this was our 7th visit. The hotel is near to all of Oostends amenities, easy to walk to the beach, train station, shops, market, cafés and bars? The breakfast is very good, and the staff are very friendly. With A good payable parking system. We would recommend this hotel to anyone. Looking forward to our extended family break at this hotel next year.

Nice place to stay
The hotel was only 1.5 blocks from the beach and right in the middle of things. The breakfast was very good and fresh and the staff were friendly and helpful. I had a single room and it was tiny but a reasonable price. I spent very little time there so I didn't mind. My friends had a double room and it was very nice. There was also a small rooftop patio

Very Belgian.
So many hotels in Ostende its difficult to choose off a website, but this hotel I would recommend. The plus points: -Lovely helpful staff. -Excellent quiet location near the promenade, coast tram and town centre. -Marvellous breakfast. -This is a Belgian hotel, not an anonymous chain, so it has its own unique character. The negative points are a little marginal: -Very stiff almost uncloseable sliding bathroom door. -Car parking in Ostende is difficult. -Bedroom a little small and cluttered [and quite a bit of dust about, but the bathroom was excellent and clean]. Overall very good - you will really feel you are in Belgium if you stay here.

Delightful, cosy and friendly hotel
We had booked a junior suite and were not disappointed. Contemporary 4-poster bed and room was well-appointed with antique furniture. The en-suite had a walk-in shower and again - as was the whole hotel - spotlessly clean. It had a homely feel and staff at Reception were polite, courteous, proficient and extremely helpful and obliging. There is a free car park situated approximately 1/4 mile from the hotel. De Hofkamers is also situated within easy walking distance of both the enormous beach/shoreline and shops, restaurants, etc. Belgians all seem multilingual, speaking their native Flemish, together with French, German and of course English. So friendly: we made the acquaintance of a charming Belgian couple who were staying nearby. All in all a very pleasant and enjoyable visit to a delightful city.

Small room in central location at a sharp price
Central location so necessary to take advantage of the hotels parking pass. Subsequent night in Central Antwerp suggested that Euro 14 charge wasn't great value. The single beds are very small so if you like room to move pay extra for double room for single person. A good breakfast and a low cost for the night

Arrived late afternoon, friendly welcome, parked the car directly outside. Fed the parking meter: free parking between 7.00pm and 9.00am - and if you pay before 7.00pm the ticket covers you from 9.00am the next morning! Room had a modern four poster bed and was very quiet. Breakfast was very welcome in the morning and we wee looked after well. Thank you!

Great personal service
Excellent small private hotel with great level of personal service. Well located in the Casino area of Ostend and within 400 yds of the seafront. Hotel is quirky but really nice - only downside was a problem with the TV reception. Breakfast started quite late at 8.00am for business travellers but we asked for a slightly earlier start and all was prepared and ready before 7.45am. Breakfast selection was one of the best in range and quality that I have ever seen! Would have no hesitation in booking again for either business or personal use.

Pleasant and convenient
A comfortable hotel, well situated for town and beach and easy walking to the port and its restaurants. An attractive park is just around the cormner. Breakfast was good and staff were pleasant and helpful. Parking is difficult with few uncontrolled areas within reach. The hotel has an arrangement with a nearby car park: it's essential to use this.
