Good clean rooms, friendly, service, excellent food could not ask for more at this price point. Wonderful view of the square Ipere situated perfectly. Does involve stairs so need to be fairly able bodied if you are no problem. Would return without hesitation.

We stayed for one night whilst en route to ww1 battlefields and Brugge. Location on the square fantastic. Good welcome especially as we were delayed on the journey and arrived late (23.30). Rooms up very steep steps and basic but clean and warm. More of a restaurant with a few rooms above but the price reflects the facilities. Value is... More

We tried to book into the Old Tom but the second night of our stay they were fully booked. As everyone says, a good location, 'stone's throw' from the Menin Gate. Very friendly staff and lovely food and atmosphere. We will book earlier next time as always stay at the Old Tom every time we visit Ypres. We had an... More

We were referred here by a fellow from Brampton who wanted visitors to experience the friendliness and hospitality of the people of Belgium and France. Excellent restaurant. We arrived late after visiting Vimy Ridge and they still served us an excellent lamb dinner. We ate there 2 of 3 nights and can recommend the lamb and the Old Tom mussells.... More

This family run hotel is ideally situated in the main square. The Menin Gate and the Flanders Field museum are in easy walking distance. The welcome from the owners is excellent. Rooms are clean and basic but have all you need for a few nights. The restaurant is superb and popular with local people..which speaks volumes. Old Tom also rents... More

We have just returned from our 5th stay at Old Toms and wouldnt stay anywhere else when in Ypres. Although the rooms are basic, they are very clean and warm (it was November when we were there). The evening meal (we had the basic menu) was very good and plentiful. We have booked for 2014, such is this hotels popularity,... More

A budget priced hotel right on the main square, comfortable rooms, clean bathroom. The stairs can be a problem for the mobility impaired. The staff were friendly and helpful, who seemed to be able to converse in a number of languages. In the restaurant there was a wide choice of well presented meals. There is a public car park across... More

If you are looking for a weekend place to stay, or a mid-week 24/48 hour stopover at the budget end this has to be the hotel in Ypres. Don't expect anything fancy, this is just a plain old Belgium family run hotel for people that are more interested in getting out and about rather than staying in your room. It's... More
