9/10 Wonderful! (45 reviews)

I chose this hotel because it was close to family I was visiting in Roeselare. The hotel is alongside a nice restaurant with an owner/chef. It's in the middle of farmland with many bike-riding routes nearby. The room was modern and nicely decorated. We had the Junior Suite #5 that included a connected shower room, toilet and sink, but no real privacy. There is a nice outdoor seating area.
