Family room is very compact - double bed against the wall and child bed in space at end of double so not much space. Ok for 1 night and what we needed for a quick pass through.

Practical place to stay, don't expect anything other than a comfy bed and a shower that goes from hot to cold occasionally. Good breakfast, coffee and bar. Staff friendly!

Was nice and clean. Rooms were VERY small even by European standards, however I was alone so it was fine but wouldn't recommend for two people to share.

Friendly staff and a really nice buzzy vibe. Worth renting bikes as the walk is tiring after a day of sightseeing. Will definitely be back.

Decent place
Nice place to stay. The price was good, which made uk for the slightly out of town location. However, only 5 mins walk from Dampoort station. Room was an adequate size, big enough for 1 person and was clean.
