The hotel was difficult to locate as there was no clear signage. Due to limited space, they did not allow us to store our luggage, so we had to bring everything back to the train station to use lockers, which meant extra cost for us. I understand that the official check-in time is 3pm, but since we booked three rooms, some flexibility—such as allowing us to place our luggage in one room—would have been appreciated. Other hotels have offered this when we faced similar situations.
The room was also very noisy as the train station is right next door. Light sleepers should avoid this hotel. The staff’s service was average, nothing particularly noteworthy. Aside from these issues, everything else was fine.
Goed hotel.3x verbleven in hotel Mercure.1x verbleven in Blankenberge met boeking met bongobons.
2x verbleven in Oostende en zeer tevreden.een tip dat ik wil.meegeven is controleer het opvullen van de zepen in de doucheruimte.In Blankenberge de 2de dag leeg, in Oostende idem. Voor de rest TOP!
POS: very central location 50 mtr from ****** and beach; historical building with old charm; quite big but with a family atmosphere; (my) room recently renovated; pleasant bar area; quiet; considering location reasonably priced.
NEG: elavator super slow, tiny and shaky at times (7 floors); bathroom good but shower itself clumsy; staff could use some extra training > in 4 days' stay there was always something not done or missing, and worst of all in spite of plenty of mgmt messages to save energy, in 2/4 days we came back late night and aircon had been switched on (by staff, not us), on a day it was barely 20 degrees, meaning complete waste of energy, and cost.
The four bed room is very nice. The mattresses and pillows are comfortable. There are toilets and showers nearby. The hostile location isn't necessarily Central, but you can walk to the attractions in about 10 to 15 minutes. The bus stop is only about a 3 minute walk away. The staff are friendly, and the restaurant / bar is nice to have. There are other restaurants nearby as well.
Very nice hotel perfectly based between Oostende and Brugge. Located on a lake side, very calm position and cheaper than others. Well recommended but the shower tray sealant in the bathroom could have been changed or bleached as it was full of black mould all over. Pity as shower was good and quite wide. Room small but its an ibis budget and it is enough space for 2 people. Comfy bed too

AAnne LiekeWe had a nice time at Talbot House. The big plus is the historic value of the place, as we visited the area to learn more about WWI. So amazing to be able to explore the house and talk to the volunteer working here. Other things we liked were the friendly service and breakfast. Also big plus we could bring our dog, staying in the garden house.
With the cold whilst we were there, not having central heating was a bit of a struggle as the aircon is only on during the afternoon/evening and harder to set to a consistent temperature. Also the shared bathroom’s window couldn’t be closed, so absolutely freezing to go to. Last, our room was on the small side and felt a bit cramped especially with our dog. But overall good value for money.
