Hotel Recour was without a doubt the best place we stayed the entire time we were in Europe. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly, the prices were very reasonable, breakfast was a wonderful spread and the location cannot be beat. And that's not even mentioning the absolutely beautiful room with a large bath that was very welcome after the trek out to Poperinge!

The hosts couldn’t do more for us on our stay. The photos did not do the room justice. Right in the heart of the town, and good road access to France & Flanders & beyond.

Great location, older rooms a little tired

The location of this hotel is great, and we were welcomed very politely by the young man on reception and his younger sister showed us to our room as he had broken his leg so was in plaster! We had booked one of the more expensive rooms in the old building and although the suite was sprawling it was apparent that it could do with a bit of maintenance. The mosaic tiles were starting to come off the shower floor (the shower head and pressure were brilliant) and the jets in the hydro bath didn't work. The breakfast selection was massive, and there was definitely something for everyone. We were offered breakfast on our terrace one morning due to the low occupancy of the hotel (Sunday night), and we had a huge trolley of food brought to us which we thoroughly enjoyed. The location of the hotel allowed us to walk the two minutes into the town square where there are plenty of restaurants to enjoy, if you don't eat at the hotel.

Big rooms, clean hotel

Was a very big, clean room with a massive shower & bath. However, it wasn’t made clear that the room I booked would be out in a separate building. I was a little disappointed as I was hoping to stay in the quaint hotel building. Apart from that, nice place.

Fab room but overpriced food with poor service

Warm welcome and fab room (No 6) on the top floor (which we requested) with oak cruck beams & exposed brickwork plus large bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. This surpassed our expectations. The dining experience overall was not so good, although the food itself was very good, but hugely overpriced. The (female) maitre d' had a bossy, superior manner which grated on us. The cheapest wine was a mediocre Shiraz at 30E. The restaurant was in three classically elegant rooms, but we were led through two superior-looking ones into what seemed like an overflow room with a big empty table in the middle and no atmosphere. Only another English couple and a young Belgian (we think) couple were in there. Even though we had ordered at 8pm for our booking at 8.30, it was 9pm when we were sent (not taken) to our table and service was so slow we left at 10.45, having only had two courses. She then insisted we pay (169E for two courses) before leaving, even though we were resident.- no charging to the room. Breakfast was in a modern, self-service cafeteria in an adjacent building, and was an ok cold buffet, but not worth 17E We would not return or reccomend Hotel Recour.

Hotel Recour

Checking in was a little haphazard but once we made contact staff were helpful. The building is seventeenth century and the room was delightfully furnished to reflect its age though the adjoining door to the ensuite bathroom was flimsy. Breakfast was very good. The restaurant is separately run and therefore the evening meal should be paid for at the time.

Beautiful hotel. Nice quiet town.

We stayed two nights but had to book a third at short notice on a Sunday having forgotten to worm the dog with a vet prior to return to uk that day. Hotel owner helped me get hold of the vet and gave walking directions which reduced the stress. Lovely choice for breakfast €17 extra. Very highly recommended restaurant on site which unfortunately we didn't have time to visit. Local area has endless points of interest for 1st and 2nd world war enthusiasts and their less enthusiastic partners. Room was luxurious, dog friendly, had a spa bath and an amazing separate shower and we were in a standard room !!! Highly recommend this hotel. Great position for walking into poperinge or driving to Ypres.

Super lovely hotel in a super cute town

Had a fantastic one night stay with my husband and border terrier. The staff we're super friendly, especially as we arrived late at night. The room was massive (pretty sure it's bigger than my flat), very comfortable and clean. There's a lovely local park right near the hotel, which was perfect for our dog. Local town is very quiet and peaceful with some nice cafes for coffee/drinks/bite to eat. Parking next to the hotel is pay and display and pretty cheap. There was a market in the town centre on Friday morning (we think it's there every day, but we only stayed one night so can't be too sure) that sold all kinds of things from clothes to cheese. Really lovely stay and we'd absolutely return if we're ever in that neck of the woods again.
