EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Hotel Adornes is a three-star hotel, offering accommodation at rates reasonable for its class. If you're comfortable with the €120-150 range, the Adornes could be a good fit.

The hotel is situated along the quiet Sint-Annarei canal, five minutes east of Markt Square. Originally three 17th-century brick homes, today the hotel boasts a traditional elegance. Inside, a wood-planked breakfast room is framed by French doors and anchored by an impressive stone and brick hearth.

Rooms at the hotel are "adorned" with wooden beams, attractive carpet, Flemish wooden furniture and cream-colored walls. The hotel offers three room types: small, standard and large. Some rooms—including two of the cheapest—face the canal. Rooms on the top floor have the occasional skylight, brightening things up. All bathrooms are equipped with bathtubs (with hand-showers) and marble sinks. All rooms are non-smoking.

We certainly liked the fact that the Adornes lends bicycles for free to all of its guests (which alone can save you €15-20 a day). The hotel has 10 free parking spots (ask ahead), a free Internet station and free Wi-Fi throughout. Additionally, the Adornes is part of a citywide "art circuit" and features works by local artists in its basement lounge.

Note: The hotel is closed every January.
