This hotel located in Aalts is the perfect place to stay if you want a beautiful Belgium city, without crowds and right in between Brussels, Ghent and Bruges. The hotel is beautiful, rooms are spacious, and the staff is super nice. Highly recommended and we will come back and stay at Royal Astrid!

Very central, with very large, but very used, public parking right behind (cost £4 for 2pm-11am next day). Extremely cheerful and helpful girl on reception, who also brought extra pillows. Room was up in the roof because we wanted twin but had a large velux that could be opened as it was a bit warm [ which ultimately proved to be somewhat less helpful due to it being one of the town's seemingly once a month free techno raves in the main square till 1am - best check!. ] As a result people came back late and there was noise from doors but generally I would think that the hotel would be very quiet. Indeed it seemed to be have rather few guests for its size.
Good but expensive restaurant literally next door. Otherwise only 500yds from square.
Wifi fine.
Shower good and right temp.
Breakfast is 15 euros and was OK but frankly a little skimpy.... small amounts put out of everything making you feel a little guilty to take what to me would be a reasonable amount.
One MAJOR thing wrong - itself completely bizarre. There was a bedside lamp which seemingly didn't work. But it came on when you switched on all the lights by the entrance. But it couldn't be operated individually - if you switched off all the main lights it went off too. So there was no way to see to the bed (and there are low beams). Extremely frustrating.
Generally for an overnight stopover a reasonable price and if they sort out the light it would be a good choice.

Beautiful weekend stay

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Hotel was beautifully presented and eating breakfast outside in the garden was lovely. Room had everthing you'd need - including a fridge, kettle and two fans. Bed was massive and very comfortable. Lovely market on saturday morning and close to many shops and places to eat. Would definitely stay again.

Hidden gem

It was a pleasant surprise, I did not know Aalst and was looking for a hotel near Affligem. it is really easy to travel from Aalst without the traffic from Brussels or Antwerp.
it is a 3 star hotel with 4 star quality. The personnel is really nice and looking after you. The rooms are really spacious and comfortable, nice decoration and some state of the art tech in the rest room. They have a newly opened gastronomic restaurant, which was the best surprise as I was not expecting this but rather more a brasserie type of restaurant. Wine and food were excellent.

Quaint little hotel

Nice little hotel. The bell outside didn't seem to work and I rang it a few times before I gave up and called the number listed and someone finally came to reception. The hotel is decorated beautifully downstairs. Not very lively so if you like a quiet hotel this is the place for you. The room was perfectly nice and spacious. Nice bathroom and shower. Breakfast is very sparse but I think the receptionist/waitress would make something if you asked but I never had time. Overall would stay again

I stayed for 3nights at single room.
Location was nice which is middle of town.
Receptionist was very nice and gave prompt feedback of my request. Hotel is renewalling thesedays, therefore have some noise and I'm not sure an air conditioner is equipped in other rooms cuz didn't in my room..Receptionist gave me a fan though, since the first day was over about 35 degree, it was difficult for me to have nice rest especially the first day. But rest days were ok.

Fijn verblijf

Mooi hotel, vriendelijk personeel. Goed ontbijt. Kamer heel ruim( een luxe kamer) alles nieuw. Misten wel 2 gemakkelijke stoeltjes om even wat te lezen na een vermoeiende dag. Zou de kamer ook iets gezelliger maken
Nu stonden er 2 rechte stoelen
De koelkast was leeg, een flesje water op de kamer zou ook fijn zijn. Water smaakt naar chloor
Hotel dicht bij centrum, ruim parkeerplaats achter hotel voor 4.50 per dag. Heel goedkoop
