Hotel Kasteelhof 't Hooghe

Excellent stay We had booked a room for 2 adults and 2 children and were very lucky to be in a 2 bed apartment! It was exceptionally clean. Bed was probably the most comfortable I have slept in! Breakfast was very good also. No complaints at all, would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for one night in this lovely property while visiting Ypres. The property is full of relics from the war and includes a history trail around the grounds with trenches and information. Immediately behind the hotel however (and you can see people queueing on the slides) is a huge water park - This didnt cause any noise that I noticed but it is out of keeping with the memorial spirit of the hotel and the area. We happen to love a water park, so this was a bonus for us but may not be for others. Just a 5-10minute drive to the Menin-gate and Ypres and many surrounding points of interest. The property is old fashioned and quaint, we had a room with a balcony and a comfortable bed. The bathroom again is old fashioned but all in keeping with the style of the property (think shower curtain and individual bars of soap). I would absolutely recommend this for a place to stay when visiting Ypres. There is a very quiet and dated bar which served great Belgian beers and the breakfast was continental with the expected charcuterie, cereals, pastries etc (and Honey cake!). We enjoyed the experience. Not much for younger people to do here and I think you would be bored in the hotel for more than a night or two but perfect for visiting the local sights.

Kasteelhof t'Hooge is a nice family run hotel close to Ypres and actually in the middle of what was a WW1 battlefield. The original house was rebuilt in the 1920s. There is a big amusement park behind it but it wasn't an issue. I can see it being noisier in the summer months with the windows open but no issue in October. The rooms and hotel are a little quirky but everything is very clean, the beds are comfortable and there is good water pressure in the shower. It takes a minute to find what is the little bar/restaurant within the hotel as it's not really marked but I was also jet lagged. There is an annex building that is new, which looks like a doctor's office but I would still recommend staying in the main building if you like historic and charming. There is a nice patio and walk around what was the battlefield but it was too rainy and cold to enjoy. The food in the restaurant/bar was good and they had a nice selection of wine, beer, etc. Breakfast was included and was very good - everything was fresh and not much processed breads, etc. If you are interested in WWI, this is a good spot to feel in the middle of history. Loved the comfy down comforter and slept very well. It's not a Marriott or other chain so if you like those, this probably won't appeal but I was very pleased with my stay. Would definitely stay again.

This was an amazing spot for when you have a vehicle to go and explore the area with. Quaint and quiet, very clean hotel. Easy access to Ypres. The staff were outstanding and friendly. A must stay place!
