Vaut le détour, the French would say, especially because this Parisian style café does everything…read moreto make you believe time has stopped and shifted to the time when French Bourgeoisie did rule in Ostend. Nostalgic, stylish and old-fashion brasserie where young and old m'as tu vu of Ostend gathers. Anyone gets in, but it helps to get friendly with the waiters, who are the real masters of this universe. Check the half-n-half, the slow coffee and the classic shrimp croquettes. No music, just conversation.

One of the few 5 stars hotels at the Belgian coast. If you're in the mood for some pampering, do…read morenot hesitate to go there. Rather expensive, but cheap compared to luxurious hotels in London, Paris or New York. We stayed in one of the junior suites on the 8 floor, with private balcony. Superb view over the North Sea! Excellent bathroom with relaxing rain shower and bathtub. . The breakfast buffet was divine!!! Really everything was there, including smoked salmon! Very polite staff at the reception and at the bar.

Every aspect of this hotel is excellent. The staff is friendly, professional, and good at what…read morethey do. The rooms are spacious and modern. I've stayed here several times over the last five years and highly recommend the Hotel Bero!

As other posters have warned- this hotel has two types of rooms. I'm sure the "ecology" rooms are…read moresuper fancy but my old room on the 4th floor is quite dated. I don't mind it looking old but the shower door doesn't do a thing to keep water in, leaving me with a giant flood in the bathroom each time I shower. The toilet also doesn't flush well at all. It tricked water in which is just enough to remove any trace of a #1 after 20 seconds, but leaves the TP behind. Forget flushing a #2-sorry for the TMI but this would be so much worse if I were not traveling alone! My stay is being sponsored by the meeting I'm attending so I'll stay and not complain but if this were my own money I would certainly be out of here after 1 night. The room is also very warm and I don't think that can be controlled by individual room. I opened the window but it was very loud on the street below so bring earplugs. On the plus side, the breakfast was great and I hear the spa is also very nice but I won't be going because it's no clothing allowed and mixed gender. I understand that is normal here,, but is it normal to go with your coworkers?! I'm confused.. especially with friends and family, but is it normal to go nude with your coworkers?! I'm confused... ‍

Price/quality wise, this place is OK and I still have some trouble figuring out the rate. The room…read morewas OK: I actually got a double room for the price of a single one. Also the bathroom was small but acceptable. What I didn't like was that there was no remote control (not a big deal), that there was no quilt (I hadn't slep under covers for 20 years) and - the biggest complaint - that the breakfast was next door in an unaired cafe that smelt of stale smoke. The breakfast itself was OK, just that the smell of smoke was so overpowering that it killed the taste.
