Séjour mitigé à Knokke : emplacement idéal et pratique pour profiter de la ville, mais l’hôtel est vieillissant et manqu
Pros:

Nous n’avons malheureusement pas apprécié notre séjour à l’Hotel De Backer : l’établissement nous a semblé vétuste, la propreté n’était pas au rendez-vous et la disposition des toilettes à proximité immédiate du lit est peu confortable. Une rénovation et une meilleure attention à l’entretien seraient appréciées.

Cons:

Ce que nous n’avons pas apprécié : la chambre était vétuste et nous avons même trouvé des mégots de cigarette sur la petite terrasse, ce qui est inadmissible en matière de propreté. L’hôtel mériterait une rénovation et un meilleur entretien. C’est dommage, car l’emplacement est excellent et constitue son principal atout.
