Beautiful little hotel, recently renovated with great staff! Free bus from the De Panne train station (and Plopsaland), and as a bonus the stop is in France!

Quiet location
Just over the border from France, a good stop if you are heading north from Clais. Quiet location, parking appears limited at first sight but the hotel will tell you where you can park if you arrive when the restaurant is busy.
Staff all very friendly, welcoming and professional. Bedroom is by some standards "neat" but comfortable and clean. It is obvious that the owners are hands on and want to build and maintain a good reputation. Breakfast buffet is comperhensive and the restaurant is light and pleasant.
Ate in the restaurant and would do so again.
Will certainly return and recommend this 3 star hotel.

Anniversary Trip
A superb hotel in a useful location for visiting western costal areas of Belgium and the Nord Pas de Calais region. Particularly well looked after. We do recommend using the elevator as the stairs may be challenging for some.

Shower was not provided with a floor mat. Therefore, the floor was very slippery and dangerous. The possibility of falls was very concerning. Washcloths would have helped as only liquid soap provided. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

L’ensemble des petites attentions, la qualité génerale, l’agencement et le personnel font que l’on passe un moment très agréable et chaleureux.
L’hôtel est aussi très facile d’accès.
Rapport qualité/prix adéquat.
Nous n’avons pas essayé le petit-déjeuner.

"Wandel-hotel"
Uitstekende ligging als vertrekpunt voor natuurwandelingen. Hotel biedt alle comfort dat je verwacht voor een wandelvakantie, degelijk ontbijt en eventueel een goed gevariëerd diner.

L'agréable surprise
Mon séjour a été une surprise inoubliable, à l'arrivée un mignon cadeau et des chocolats sur le coin du lit pour me souhaiter la bienvenue; chaque soir j'avais droit à un bon diner bien chaud et succulant aux condiments frais, la mayonnaise fait maison, un vrai délice. La déco m'a fait du bien au point que je ne pouvais m'empêcher de faire des photos
Ein Hotel zum Wohlfühlen. Klein, gemütlich und mit persönlichem Service. Mit viel Liebe gestaltet und mit Engagement geführt. Uns hat es so gut gefallen, das wir unseren Aufenthalt verlängert haben
