Hotel Albert II Oostende

Whist the hotel is beautifully located for the town and CHristmas markets, when we went there where some issues. There is a small lift to gain access or some very steep, unlit stairs, dragging your case up them was a life and death moment. We where checked in and given a room key (room 124) the room was 'small' but functional. The bed clean. Our main issue was the temperature. The room was really really cold. We tried to turn up the radiator but to no avail. We stayed at this hotel as part of a Christmas market package so arrived with approx.50 other guests who all complained about the lack of heating. some where given extra duvets, some electric heaters, we had nothing. The website for the hotel says there is a warm welcoming bar area,,,,,,this was not in operation when we went. Breakfast was advertised as continental, which it was, coffee/tea, orange juice, yogurts, pastries (mainy fresh) toast and scrambled egg and bacon. Sadly the warm food wasnt warm and the room in which we ate was also freezing , you needed to wear your coat while you ate. This is a budget hotel, we didnt expect the savoy, but the lack of heating made it really quite uncomfortable. Would we stay again? no, never. Its a shame as the building is actually one of the historic buildings in the town and potentially really grand and beautiful, but without heating , when its -3 outside and not much warmer inside, its not somewhere id like to go again.

Prima lokatie maar verouderde kamers, de deurknop viel er spontaan af, even als het handdoekrek. Als je de ramen opendoet enorm lawaai van meeuwen. Ontbijt ok, maar voor dat geld erg beperkt. De lokatie is wel heel fijn dus voor een weekend ok. De andere hotels waren ook aanmerkelijk duurder.

Hôtel peu entretenu, presque sinistre, tendance vétuste. A part la jolie devanture (trompeuse) et la salle du petit déjeuner, tout le reste est glauque : la réception, les couloirs ET notre chambre qui ne devrait clairement pas être commercialisée ! Minuscule, spartiate, sans confort, sans rangement, comprenant 2 lits séparés moins larges qu’une banquette de bus. Jamais vu ça ! Forte odeur de moisie, ménage PAS FAIT sur les 2 nuits passées et vue horrible sur un mur et une coure insalubre. Salle de bain peu engageante et peu éclairée. Accueil tout juste moyen et peu dispo en dehors des « heures de bureaux » Pour finir une terrasse extérieure totalement insalubre au mobilier honteusement décati. Bref une adresse peu recommandable. Il est évident que nous n’y remettrons jamais les pieds.
