Fin loftlägenhet med allt du behöver. Bra att kunna parkera vid hotellet.
Pros:

Mycket trevlig lägenhet, fint renoverad i ett mycket gammalt vackert hus. Bra parkering utanför. Lätt att hitta. Trevlig stad.
Nära till restauranger och butiker för att köpa frukost. Vi bodde i Loftet och AC nådde inte sovrummet vilket var lite jobbigt i värmeböljan.

Cons:

AC nådde inte sovrummet.

Very pleasant
Pros:

It was definitely different. I didn’t see the owner but my partner did and she gave him very interesting information about the building it was used for the officers in WW1. The apartment is at the top of the house so lots of low beams at 5ft 2 this gave me no problems however my partner is 6ft 4 so it gave me lots of laughs.

Cons:

Nothing

Good value in Poperinge center, but could use a touch up.
Pros:

Great location in the middle of Poperinge. The old building added to the charm. Convenient self-checkin and parking.

Cons:

Building and room could use a bit more renovation. Some elements of the renovation seem a little amateuristic or not well thought through. The kitchen in the room was very worn down, curtain rails almost fell off, bathrooms quite minimal.
Room was advertised with private terrace while others weren't. While the building has a non-public terrace, this was not private to the room.

Nothing needs changing.

Topaccommodatie
Pros:

De locatie, de sfeer en de historische uitstraling zijn geweldig, net als de ruime kamer.

Cons:

Twee kleine kanttekeningen: 'mind your head' staat duidelijk niet voor niets boven de trap in de suite en staand douchen in het bad was lastig.

One of our better decisions
Pros:

Lovely town, lovely guest house, easy access, convenient and ample free parking. Large top-floor apartment in historic period building. Great friendly welcome with excellent communication and responses when our plans changed slightly. Easy walking distance for cafes, restaurants and bars, but not so easy walking back after some of those Belgium beers. We only stayed one night and did not book a breakfast but complementary tea and coffee was available. The apartment slept 4 with a double bedroom and two bunk beds off the lounge and would be great base for more extended stays.

Cons:

Very difficult to be negative about this property, but as with some other reviews staircase access to the loft apartments would challenge anyone with mobility issues or large heavy cases. Access to the other rooms is straightforward.
