"A cost of 50 euros per day in a single room may seem OK in a country in which hotels of all levels are very, very expensive, especially since the breakfast was OK. But for the cyclist that I was (18-day trip all along the Belgian border, from the Luxembourg border to the North Sea, with 3/4 of the nights spent in a sleeping bag, without a tent - fortunately the time was appropriate - the situation experienced in this inn was unacceptable. I am content here to copy part of the letter that I sent on my return to France to the Tournai tourist office (which had recommended this to me. accommodation) and at the head office of the Belgian youth hostels in Brussels // It was in fact absolutely impossible for me to sleep during the nights spent (so = 100 euros) due to the presence of a group of around fifty young people. less young people "supervised" as part of an integration course with a civic aim (?) They continued the first night to slam the doors of their rooms and the corridors accessing them with rare violence, all the while. amusing loudly on the ground floor of the building, this obviously in flagrant violation of the instructions posted everywhere requiring quietude from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. The leaders of this group contacted during breakfast seemed to find this situation completely normal and did nothing to prevent this process from starting again the following night, with even more violence, no doubt in retaliation on the part of these young people who appeared to me to be authentic social cases. The director of the establishment, a little more correct, offered me, in response to my astonishment at having to experience such an "adventure" in one of the tourist towns of Belgium, a credit (inappropriate given my distant place of residence) , or to spend a third night in their establishment at the price of a collective room (27 euros), but without in any way committing to any possibility of finally sleeping peacefully and therefore recovering. In these conditions I judged it more prudent to resume my journey towards the north and sleep again in the forest in my very comfortable OPEX sleeping bag, knowing that there at least I would have peace, which was the case. In total 100 euros "squandered" for almost nothing (apart from 2 showers). Consequently I believe that it would be appropriate for this "hostel" to lower its prices for isolated travelers with limited finances; either warns them preventively of the risks they run in (not) sleeping there), or refuses their admission and their money (that would be more frank...) // The icing on the cake, the "managers" of the head office of the Belgian youth hostels did not even respond to my letter (the Tournai OT who received a photocopy of it and responded to me, but simply expressing their wish that everything would be resolved to my advantage). Conclusion: in Belgium it is still better to pay a lot for an authentic hotel..."

"This was a good hotel in the town of Tournai, service good, room was big"

"Travelled with my daughter and we stayed in two double room, numbers 2 and 3. We arrived late in the evening and checked out early in the morning so our time at the farm was very limited. Although we arrived after reception had closed we emailed ahead and arrangements were made for us to check in at the bar/restaurant. We were also offered a limited food choice even though we arrived just before 10pm. The rooms are functional, well appointed with a good wet room with both an overhead shower and hand held shower head. The beds were comfortable and the rooms clean. Overall a good nights sleep spent on our way back to the UK from an Alpine holiday."

"Great experience as a couple. Impeccable room, the decoration is super well thought out. Original and made with care. The welcome is very pleasant and friendly. The owner is very caring and very involved. We wish you much success in this magnificent project."

"Had a most amazing overnight stay at this lovely hotel. Wish we could have stayed longer but we were on our way back through the tunnel the night day. Absolutely everything was perfect from the moment we got there until we left. The lovely young man who looked after us was a credit to the hotel, we met his mum the next morning who was also lovely. Our room was gorgeous and had everything we needed from toiletries, bathrobe, slippers, kettle, coffee machine, biscuits, sweets, chocolates and two waters and a small bottle of wine all complimentary in the fridge. We were treated to a glass of fizz and mezze’s on arrival which went down very well after a long journey. We could pick what time we wanted breakfast and it was HUGE and delicious. There was also a bottle of champagne in a fridge cabinet with glasses you could buy if you were celebrating. It is easy to find and there is free parking in the quiet street. We were given a map and shown where all the sights were. The centre was only a 5 minute walk. Tournai and this hotel are really worth a visit. We will be back, thank you."

"Super boutique hotel. Comfortable modern rooms in a classic building. Outside private parking and close to the centre of Tournai. Good shower and generous breakfast. Very friendly staff. Comfortable beds. Only catch was the previous guest had left the TV in Polish - a 15 minute challenge !"
