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.

zeer teleurstellend
Pros:

dat we konden parkeren over de 3 volledige dagen
goed gelegen
vriendelijke man

Cons:

de sfeer was oudbollig en passé
Ze hadden de vloer in een verf gestoken maar geplaatst door sus en klus
Ook de (bad)kamer was in een soort verf , maar niet goed gedaan. Afwerking kwam duidelijk niet nauw
bij het binnenkomen stonk de kamer enorm, blijkbaar door regenwater. Daarna heeft de eigenaar het opgelost
zeer kleine kamer met geen raam naar buiten. We keken uit op een gang
Te duur voor wat je ervoor krijgt
en geen hotel maar b&b
