Rooms are a bit tired, they need some tlc. tv reception was poor, the electrics failed during the... More

We stayed 2 nights in April 2012 and this Hotel and town was a highlight of our holiday. Friendly staff with a clean and comfortable room. We stayed on the First floor and our room overlooked the square. We stayed 2 nights and had a lovely meal in the restaurant, and breakfast each morning. The room was perfect for the... More

Both myself and wife enjoyed our stay at Old Toms on two separate occasions during Yr. 2011. The stairs with access to the rooms has slightly narrow steps. The rooms we experienced front and rear were both clean and comfortable. Our preference remains a room at the front with a view over the square. We used the available underground garage... More

Last weekend we had our third stay at the Old Tom, this time taking friends who had never visited the area before. Like us they found the Old Tom to be an excellent place to stay, both for the position close to the Menin Gate, easy of visitng the various battlefields, cemetaries and museums and good food. We were half... More

We stayed at Old Toms for 2 nights and had deliberately chosen a hotel with character as opposed to a generic chain. The hotel is in a great location on the market square and close to the Menin Gate although you can't see it from the hotel.The rooms are very basic and ours overlooked the back of the hotel. They...

Old Toms is placed right on the Grote markt. We only stayed the one night but the location gave us easy access to most of Ypres sights including the 8pm last post at the Menin gates (less than 200 m). For an extra 10 euro we got an undercover locked car space across the square. I think the sqaure parking... More

Old Tom’s is excellently placed on the main square (Grote Markt), in Ypres and is only 150m from the Menin gate. Our room overlooked the square and was large and comfortable. The en-suite had been recently and tastefully renovated. The staff all spoke good to excellent English. The WiFi worked well. Something that may be an issue to some people... More

My husband and I stayed at Old Tom for 3 nights and found it very comfortable, welcoming and a really good location on Grote Markt, very near Menin Gate. At the last minute we decided to have half board as it was such good value and the 3 course meal each night was very good. The room was basic but... More

A good place to stay in the centre of Ypres adjacent to the Cloth Market (In Flanders Field Museum). The staff were very obliging and friendly and the food in the restaurant of good quality. The half board option especially on a Sunday is a good deal. The rooms are basic but very clean but have refurbished bathrooms. Very handy... More
