Lovely. Such friendly staff, and a good space. Some of the furniture and fixtures are a little old now, but not in a way that would affect the stay. We had a lovely family suite, and the front room had a huge bay window with a table overlooking the market. The one bathroom in the suite was in the back bedroom, which was smaller but was fine for sleeping and had its own TV, but this didn't cause us any problems.

Not So Happy

The picture of the room that I purchased from the Internet was not the room that I got. I purchased a king size bed and got a queen size bed. No one seemed to care. No one apologized. The only reason I picked this hotel was because they offered me a king size bed and then I never got it. The rooms are extremely small and expensive, certainly by North American standards. The hosts were friendly, but not anymore than they had to be. The main thing was it was a bait and switch operation. They advertised one thing and I got something else. Would not recommend. Would not return.

Keine eigenen ParkplĂ€tze, 2-3 Straßen weiter parken fĂŒr 5 € Pro Tag. MĂŒssten durch ein Restaurant in unser Zimmer in der zweiten Etage hoch laufen ( ohne Aufzug, Treppenhaus eng&alt , komischer Geruch beim betreten des Treppenhaus) Badezimmer fĂŒr den Preis was wir gezahlt haben nicht so toll. Der Fußboden wackelt und knirscht beim laufen. Die Betten waren in Ordnung , die HandtĂŒcher wiesen Flecken auf. Der Ort war top, dass Hotel Cecil Solala Den Preis was ich fĂŒr 6 Tage gezahlt habe , wĂŒrde ich definitiv nicht mehr zahlen.

BĂ€sta hotellet i Belgien!

Hittade det hĂ€r hotellet pĂ„ en resa 2022, dĂ€r vi förlĂ€ngde vĂ„r vistelse direkt pga atmosfĂ€ren, personalen, omgivningen och hela De Panne som Ă€r helt fantastiskt! SĂ„ nu fick vi Ă€ntligen chansen för ett Ă„terbesök och blev inte besvikna nu heller, Ă€ven om vi inte fick samma fina rum som sist 😊 Det Ă€r ett mindre hotell med lite Agatha Christie-atmosfĂ€r, belĂ€get precis vid torget i De Panne. NĂ€ra till allt, Ă€ven stranden. Ägarparet Ă€r vĂ€ldigt trevliga och vĂ€ldigt hjĂ€lpsamma. Lite trĂ„ngt, en udda liten hiss, knarriga hallgolv och vĂ€ldigt mycket karaktĂ€r. Ett av vĂ„ra absoluta favorithotell som vi alltid lĂ€ngtar tillbaka till ❀ NĂ€r ni Ă€r i De Panne, sĂ„ glöm inte att gĂ„ in till kvarteren bakom affĂ€rerna till den lilla "staden i staden" med alla knasiga hus med udda arkitektur, Ă€r som en annan vĂ€rld.

Friendly hotel in traditional Belgian seaside town

This is a clean, welcoming, friendly hotel in the market place in the heart of De Panne, and only about 10 minutes walk from the lovely sandy beach. The hotel has character and judging from the old photo of it inside is probably over 100 years old. The breakfast buffet is available from 8am to 10:30am every morning with plentiful supplies of all you would expect from a continental breakfast. The restaurant where breakfast is served is spacious and very pleasant. We were staying in the family room immediately above the entrance on the corner. While the room is small we got used to it and you have a good view over the market square. Please note that the weekly market takes place on a Saturday and the traders set up their stalls from about 5am, so if you have the windows open you may hear the noise! You may also hear if people in rooms around flush toilets or shout. But it was a great base for our stay - if you walk to the sea front you can catch the tram which takes you either along the coast or to De Panne railway station for hourly trains to Ghent and onwards. We found lots of restaurants in De Panne, and many of the buildings around date from the Art Nouveau era which gives the town a great feel.
