Comfortable and Friendly in a Good Location

Comfortable and friendly hotel in the north central part of town around a 10 minute walk from the railway station. There are many bars and restaurants in the neighbourhood including the Botteltje which is across the road and the beach is a 3 minute stroll, two blocks away. A wide selection of options are available at breakfast time at the hotel and are well worth it. Staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable for local info as are the staff at the tourist information office on langestraat opposite the Kursaal casino

Registering on arrival was not helpful because we were told that, although we were early (which we knew) the rooms would be available at 11.30am On our return we were told through the intercom system that it would be 12.30 Eventually we returned after 3.00pm and then were able to register. Fortunately we were able to leave our luggage on our first visit and did not have to keep it with us until 3.00pm

I have only stayed for one night, so expected a partial refund for the other day. Instead our family received a free breakfast, which amounted to partial compensation only.

A small family run hotel just a few minutes walk from the beach. We received a warm and friendly welcome and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and reasonably priced, and I would happily stay here again.

Outdated

The hotel Louisa was really outdated and old fashioned. The room was huge but there weren't a lot of amenities. It wasn't a really comfortable room per se, but the bed and pillow were good.

This is a brilliant place to stay location-wise, 2mins from the beach/close to the harbour (free parking) and the staff were super friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. We stayed with our two small children in a family room, so I can't vouch as a stay for a honeymooning couple! This is superior budget hotel with good breakfast included in nice surroundings. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel unfortunately is in need of some TLC our room was very worn looking especially the bathroom with a hair rinse and inadequate showing facilities, the staff were helpful and pleasant, the best part of the hotel is its location very central.

Nice hotel, friendly staff

The hotel is very well situated, close to the beach and the shops. The room was fairly clean and comfortable (although the view was non-existent). The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgable (recommended a lot of restaurants, etc.). The overall condition of the hotel is good and it's a really good value for money. I would book a room again if I visited Ostend.

Great location. Friendly staff. Tasty breakfast. However, room was a bit tired and small, had two single beds rather than a double and there was quite a lot of noise from creaky stairs/floors.

The hotel was clean and conveniently situated. The breakfast was good, especially the croissants. Overall, not bad for the price. If you are looking for luxuries, this is definitely not the place to go. But if you want a clean bed and bathroom, at a reasonable price, this is the place. I would go back if I'm on a budget.

The Hotel Louisa in Oostende

Could not recommend this hotel enough. It is a great place with a wonderful family welcome and atmosphere. We shall be returning again and again as we just love Ostende. The position of the hotel lends itself to all the best parts of the town, close to both the beach and shopping areas.
