Belgium
A small older-style hotel with some character, the hotel was rebuilt after it was flattened in the first world war. Its location on the north side of the Ypres town square makes it centrally located for visits to the Cloth Hall or the nightly Menin Gate ceremony.
The food is very good; there is a restaurant and brasserie and they also stock a lot of different Belgian beers which you enjoy in the beer garden out front. A good clean budget style hotel for the stay in Ypres (no car parking though, you park in the street behind).
