Excellent hotel, with modern facilities and the perfect city centre location, a two minute walk to the Grote Markt, with its great restaurants, In Flanders Fields Museum and the Menin Gate - and right across the street from the superb Old Bill pub, which seems to stay open as long as you're still awake.
