Merelbeke Vacations from $689

First the good points…location was excellent; central and near to a metro station. Rooms were clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast decent. However, this place is more of a hostel than a hotel. No reception desk as such. The rooms are small and furnished with cheap and poorly fitted fixtures. ( one shelf was hanging off the wall and the headboard was missing). Little storage space. Only a badly fitted hanging rail placed directly above a coffee machine! Staff seemed inexperienced, and breakfast was a lottery to see which items were missing. Spoons one day, glasses the next, bowls the following. Same with food… getting items replaced was painfully slow! A lot of the crockery was chipped. Only used the room for shower, sleep and breakfast. So it suited our needs…just!

Really nice boutique hotel in a great location. The staff were all lovely and helpful. Nice sized room and bathroom with everything you needed and a delicious fresh breakfast.

Clean room, excellent service.

The stay was pleasant, and the hotel, while simple, is well located and suited my needs. The breakfast was good. I believe the overall experience could be even better with an improvement in the quality of the bed linen, towels, and pillows.
