Great location. Check in time after 4 p.m. quite hard I would appreciate being to kick back for an hour or so before the evening Last Post at the Menin Gate etc.. The hotel has lots of rules like nothing in the rooms drink or food wise (understandable) however the buffet breakfast with luke warm coffee or make your own tea with warm water not exactly great!
If you are in the room only from 4 p.m until 10.30 a.m. (check out time) with breakfast being served from 8.30 a.m. - 10 a.m. I did find the builders having a big discussion outside our bedroom window at 8 a.m. as a bit unreasonable.
The room small, a hateful shower over a bath, towels small, pillows horrendous, but beds good and firm. Parking could be an issue in the busy period.
The hotel is spotlessly clean with a central location but has no identity or feeling of warmth - personally when I stay away I like to have a hotel room better than my room at home...this instance my room at home really outweighed what I experienced at this hotel!
