Hotel Oude Abdij

Literally just leaving this charming hotel - all the staff were friendly and attentive nothing was to much trouble- the food was amazing on par with what we’ve had at 5 star hotels around the world- lots of choice of drinks - it’s in a lovely position with bars and restaurants around should you fancy eating somewhere different- the beds are firm ( which I like) our room 7, was spacious with 2 lovely large windows- the bathroom could do with updating but it was satisfactory- spotlessly clean everywhere- if ever I was back in the area I would definitely stay here again

Stayed here for 3 nights on a Leger Battlefield tour. Didn't know what to expect after reading the differing reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. The bedroom was basic but clean. We didn't spend much time in the room but the beds were very comfortable and the shower was brilliant. Breakfast was typically continental but also with added scrambled eggs and bacon. There was something for everyone if you weren't the fussy type. We dined at the hotel and the steak in mushroom sauce was the best I'd ever had. Beer was reasonably priced at just under £5 for half a litre of Jupiler. The staff were very friendly and also very attentive. I would definitely stay here again 👌

Absolute pain. Food was the last scraps of what the Belgian soldiers got around us in ww1. Bathrooms stink of a peculiar smell coming from the pipes. Tv was more grainy than corn flakes and the beds sank in like they were tryna give us a free ticket on a tour of the sinking house in Paris. Absolute g

Where do I begin the unhygienic double shower meat glancer and the double bed I am supposed sleep shoulder to shoulder with another man regardless of my sexuality brings me great shame. The food made me regurgitate and regret paying for this abysmal waste of time and money. If you want to come here bring something strong as the food is gruesome plastic that reminds of me of my father's speedos.

Stayed here for four nights in September 2024 on a Battlefield tour of the region. Breakfast was included and most of us dined in every night. The hotel staff - although often very busy (especially in the restaurant) - were friendly and extremely helpful; one could not fault them. The bedroom - whilst a tad sparsely furnished - was perfectly satisfactory and clean, as was the included bathroom. I had a very good night's sleep every night. The food - both breakfast and evening meal - could not be faulted. Breakfasts were basically Continental but with some small cooked options, and were perfectly satisfactory (and their hot drinks machine did a very nice coffee!). The evening meals - whether al la carte or fixed menu options - were well cooked and provided a good end to a busy day's travelling; the food options were well thought-out and pleasantly varied. The restaurant service in the evening could be a tad slow, but I guess the difficulties in obtaining enough good staff these days mitigated against having the waiter/waitress standing by one's table the whole time. The hotel is set in pleasant grounds, located in a small Belgian village. All in all an enjoyable experience, and I would be happy to stay here again should I visit the region again.

Stayed at this hotel whilst on a Ledger battlefield’s tour. First impressions are good and the downstairs is inviting, unfortunately when you get to the bedroom it all goes a bit downhill. Very basic and my room, in particular was like a sauna. They did supply a fan which helped but not much. The weather was very warm but it seemed to me that the heating was on too which didn’t help. The bathroom was even hotter although the shower was okay. Housekeeping wasn’t that good either, sweet wrappers and hair on the bathroom floor. I survived though!!! It was a shame really as the staff were very professional and helpful especially in the restaurant. We ate three of the four nights in the restaurant and didn’t have a bad meal, all excellent really as was the extensive breakfast. Downstairs excellent, upstairs poor!
