    As the hotel is right next to the train and bus stations you will hear some noise.

    The location was great for the purpose of my trip and this hotel is affordable. The room was small, but the size of room doesn’t really bother me. It also doesn’t bother me of things are a bit worn down or old. However, what does bother me is insufficient cleaning and this time, unlike last time I visited, the shared areas and room could do with a some improvement in cleaning routine. This also goes for providing clean kettles, fans etc. The bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

    It overlooks the Place de la Gare therefore is noisy at night and from early morning. The trains start early.

    It overlooks the Place de la Gare. It is near the centre. There are bars all around. The guys helped get my motorbike safely off the street and secure. Good guys. Very helpful.

    Needs more reconstruction

    Right next to the train and bus station. It's a run down place. But it's only two stars after all. I hope they continue the reconstruction work they started downstairs. That looked good. Room doors need a paint job and better finishing work. The top stair steps need realignment. Sheet had a stain. Bathroom is small. I had to swat down multiple mosquitos and a fly on arrival. So I kept the tilt window closed. Even though there's no plain source for them in sight on the street.

    Right next to the train and bus station. The Belgian owner was friendly. Shower was good.

    The host was very friendly and attentive. We could fit our bikes in the storage and that was a plus ! The hotel is basic but comfortable. We were a bit worried about tha noise from the trains but the isolation worked out fine. No problem with that. The breakfast was good, not crazy with so much you couldn't eat. Just the basic ( Fine ! ) stuff

    My room was dreadfully it was tiny the tv was not connected and the toilet flush was faulty but I am sure other rooms are much better.

    Location was good with restaurants and cafés on hand , it is alongside the railway so some train noise is inevitable. Mt

    Toilet seat and wastebin broken. Mainly clean, but edges and corners dirty At breakfast the waiter had an argument with a guest, can t say who was right, i guess if guests think there is free beer in a 5 euro breakfast they are not realistic. But it was disturbing.to eat and listen to this. The waiter was really friendly to us. Bread at breakfast was dry ( old?)

    The beds were good Considering you pay 5 euro for breakfast, not too bad. ( bread was dry though) Nice staff If i needed to stay at aalst for 1 night i would book tbis hotel again

    The room and bathroom were really small. There was no hairdryer in the bathroom. During our stay room was cleaned once. I booked the room with breakfast, but the breakfast was below standard. On 2nd floor wi-fi didn't work. The building is old and loud - we could hear each time someone opened the door and entered into the room.

    The staff was very nice and helpful but they had language problems. Considering the location (near the train station and the bus stops) there was not so noisy during the night. It's good price if you need only bed to sleep after whole day of sightseeing ;)

    It’s not so clean, the door made a noise that probably woke up everybody on the floor. They had left the window open so when I arrived at the hotel, it was freezing cold in the room. There was no hairdryer in the bathroom. Getting in the location with ringing a bell and waiting in front of the front door to be opened by staff is not convenient. The staff continuously were asking who I am and till when I am staying.

    Cozy bed, gratis breakfast. Good location in the center. The elevator is super useful and super retro. The staff were kind but had language problems.

    room was okay and ventilation. though some of the stuffs are broken like the drawer under the sink, electric fan but they replaced it.

    location was good. the problem was parking. I ticked parking & wi-fi when I booked in the internet. But when we get to the area they don't have a parking space and the receptionist told us that we can park but we have to pay. we we're shocked as I requested for parking. anyway, we arrived around 5pm and we have to pay 2 hrs (5pm-7pm free till 9am the following day).

    Toilets need a little bit of cleaning. TV not working. Staff hardly spoke English fluently. It's Belgium Flanders: staff need to understand that customers are not interested in their local language policies to only SPEAK Nederland in Flanders

    The breakfast was mid but overall it was a good stay

    Its clean, they have a nice shower and the staff is friendly. Only the breakfast is a bit mid. Its definitely with the money and the location is perfect, just know that your next to a train station and a lot of different people come there, it has nothing to do with the hotel. But just keep it in mind. This was my second time being a happy guest
