A good hotel, perfect for an overnight stay.
Excellent little hotel perfectly located for an overnight stay. I arrived really late in the evening and the receptionist (who I think might have been the owner) came out to greet me and provided me with somewhere to park. Showed me to my room straight away and sorted out payment in the morning. Decent hotel and room with quite a few English TV channels. A free continental breakfast was the perfect start before setting off. Would stay again. Word of warning, not much directly around the hotel.

Stay somewhere else!!
My booking said breakfast was included. I had it in black and white. Also the internet did not work in the room when told it worked well. When I mentioned it to the owner he became very aggressive and argued an unreasonable amount that it was not. When I showed him he still argued. I was so mad we packed and left instead of staying another three nights. Just before we left he said ok you can have breakfast and he put a modem in the room. WAY TOO LATE!!

We needed to be near Zebrugge for the return ferry. We had travelled all day from central Germany, We liked the hotel and the breakfast was excellent. The only complaintwas the fact that we had to drive to Aalter to find somewhere to eat. On reflection we would stay in Aalter. After driving all day we needed to relax and have a refreshing drink not to have to get back in the car and drive to another town.

An o.k place, fit for 1-2 days of stay at most
Overall the place is an "o.k" place, do not expect a hotel like rooms or anything. (am surprised it is a 3-star..) We chose this hotel after seeing so many good reviews about it and decided to book it for 6 nights as base of our trip in Belgium. Pros: 1. 15 minutes drive to Brugge 2. next to a really cheap gas station (20 euro cent cheaper than anywhere else I passed) 3. really nice owner, really tries to help with everything on the spot Cons: 1. Walls are paper thin, unfortunately for me (am a light sleeper), I had a guest next door that was snoring and it felt as though he was sleeping next to me. also, any guest that was moving around the hallway or even in rooms across our own could be heard really loud. 2. Middle of nowhere, places around the hotel are open until 18:00 at most, after that you will have to drive to the next closet city (brugge) for late dinner / night life 3. The hotel does not offer lunch / dinner, so take this into consideration since you can find yourself coming back to the hotel hungry and having to drive 20 minutes to the closest open restaurant. 4. (Our) beds were bad, had springs stuck in my back in different location across the bed 5. Might sound strange, but the we wished that the coffee during breakfast was hot, the owner boils up coffee when the first people arrive at breakfast, and keep it on the table until the end of breakfast.. so if you arrive late, coffee will be cold..

Only hotel I could get close to work place
Overall the hotel was fine. However plans change regularly when away on business. When I needed to alter my booking things got difficult. You need to make it possible to change bookings online. The owner was quite reluctant to change at first. After I had made a very expensive call to you the situation was eventually resolved. Your agent on the phone initially was not helpfully at all. It was only my persistence in the matter that got the result. I wanted. Not very happy with the way you operate. I do not experience problems with other online booking agents. You need to smarten up I will not use you again.

Aardig hotel gunstig gelegen tussen Gent & Brugge
Het was een aardig hotel alleen was er overdag niemand te bekennen in het hotel. Hadden wel een code om binnen te komen. Het lag lekker dichtbij Aalter waar de trein naar Gent of Brugge kon nemen.

Klein hotel met keurige kamers
Was afgelopen week de enige gast in dit kleine, keurige hotel. Gelegen aan een drukke weg (waar je weinig van merkt) in een verder vrij troosteloze buurt. Er is buiten het hotel niet direct gelegenheid te recreëren of naar een dorp of dergelijke te wandelen, alles moet met de auto.

Fantastische gastvrijheid en service!!
Mijn dochter en ik verbleven 2 nachten in hotel Prelude. Zij had het hele weekend een zwemwedstrijd in Gent en dit hotel was slechts 30 minuten rijden naar het zwembad. De kamer is ruim en uitermate schoon. Er was zelfs een koelkast op de kamer. Heerlijk dat er een buitendeur in de kamer is, zodat je frisse lucht binnenkrijgt. De badkamer was heel ruim en heel schoon. Wij kwamen echt niets tekort. De bedden lagen heerlijk. Het hotel ligt aan een 'drukke' weg, maar daar hoor je binnen helemaal niets van. Bij het hotel is genoeg ruimte om te parkeren. Het ligt precies tussen Gent en Brugge in, dus voor beide steden een aanrader. Er zijn slechts 10 kamers, dus gelukkig niet zo groot. De ongelooflijk vriendelijke eigenaar van het hotel had ons ontbijt vervroegd, omdat hij hoorde dat wij al vroeg in het zwembad moesten zijn. Zo lief en attent. De 2e ochtend moesten wij zelfs nog een uur vroeger naar het zwembad en had hij voor dag en dauw een uitgebreid ontbijt voor ons gemaakt, met gebakken eieren etc.. Hij vond dat zij een goed ontbijt moest hebben, omdat zij nog moest presteren. Wij gaan zeker terug naar dit hotel. Het was echt in een woord FANTASTISCH!!! Nog nooit zo'n geweldige service meegemaakt. Niets was teveel moeite. Echt een aanrader voor iedereen!!!

Klein hotel op leuke locatie
Een leuk klein hotelletje (10 kamers) waar de huidige eigenaar met smaak aan het moderniseren is. Ondanks dat het hotel aan een vrij drukke verbindingsweg ligt is er geen geluidsoverlast in de kamers die achterin zijn gesitueerd. Een uitstekend internationaal ontbijt dat tot op het laatste moment aangevuld gaat worden. Voor ons absoluut een aanrader voor toekomstige bezoeken in de driehoek Antwerpen-Brugge-Gent.

Hotel in campagna
E' un hotel in campagna, non proprio moderno, in posizione strategica per visitare le Fiandre. In qualche modo lo si raggiunge, un posto per l'auto lì attorno lo si trova sempre; poi ci pensa il proprietario, che è persona squisita, a farci sentire come a casa. La camera, a piano terra, è spaziosa, pulita e silenziosa, arredata in maniera appropriata con l'ambiente, con bei tendaggi alle porte-finestre. Ottima la colazione a buffet, servita in un gradevole salone.
