Excellent breakfast and service. Our dinner was fantastic. Room aesthetically pleasing, some functionality strangeness. We weren’t fans of the upstairs bathrooms. When the building work is finished, it will be fantastic.

It is stunning. I had just booked via Expedia for one night en route from Lithuania / Poland back to Calais and LeShuttle, just on the basis that it was in roughly the right place. Tone was set by a great checkin with a wonderful receptionist who clearly liked working there (which is always a good sign). Ample free parking. Rooms were great, and place clearly so nice that I booked a second night. We used the additional day to hire electric bikes on site, and followed a recommended route (variety available) to explore the weirdness of the loopy Netherlands / Belgium border nearby. Safe cycling through lovely countryside and prosperous villages. Aiming to come back specifically to stay at this hotel. Positives: - Exceptionally pleasant and helpful staff; - Fascinating historic buildings . . . - Superb rooms (ours were, and I have no reason to suspect the rest aren't); - Electric cycle hire to explore well laid out and safe cycling network; - Plentiful onsite parking; - Great food including breakfast; - Lovely outdoor seating area to relax with a beer (other beverages available!); - (And for the really geeky, there's a chunk of V2 rocket on a plinth just past the car park). Negatives: - Pillows were too plump? (Trying really hard here!); - Mosquitos in the area - worth taking repellant (we had not).

Prachtige locatie in de voormalge Kolonie van Weldadigheid. Alles keurig verzorgd en naast dat er een geweldig ontbijt wordt geserveerd, kan je ‘s avonds van een goed diner genieten. Ik was er zakelijk, maar kom privé zeker terug. In de ongeving kan je mooi wandelen en fietsen.

Het verblijf heb ik als erg prettig ervaren, De kamer was mooi ingericht, schoon, voorzien van alle gemakken waaronder bijvoorbeeld draadloze oplaadpunten voor mijn mobiel een televisie met mogelijkheid om vanaf mijn telefoon te streamen. Heerlijk ruime inloop stort douche. Ik heb gegeten in de brasserie. Mijn Caesar salade was voortreffelijk met de meest malse perfect gegaarde kipfilet. In de ochtend een zeer uitgebreid en goed verzorgd ontbijt mogen genieten. Echt een top ervaring!!!

Colonie 7 is a very special place to stay. The surroundings are beautiful and tranquil. The food including breakfast, was very good. My room was nice but having the bathroom upstairs was a bit more of a hassle than I had imagined, so I wouldn’t choose that room style again. Otherwise I would love to go back.

Schön aber leider sehr laut durch den Flur

Ansich eine sehr schöne Alternative zum Hotel. Preis/Leistung ist gut. Kein Fernseher aber für mich kein Problem. Was extrem schade ist, dass die Türen nicht gedämpft sind und es deshalb sehr, sehr laut ist wenn eine Zimmertür geöffnet oder geschlossen wird.
