Keizershof Hotel Aalst

I got a warm welcome as soon as I walked through the door which set the tone for the stay. I learned it's a family run hotel where the owner is the manager and is invested in making sure everything is just right. The rooms have recently been refurbished and the bed was very comfortable, the room quiet. Bathroom had heated a mirror - a nice touch and walk in rain shower. The nespresso coffee machine was a welcome addition. I drank in the bar in the evening and had nice conversations with the staff discussing life in Belgium, beers, gins and putting the world to rights. The bar prices were in line with other bars and restaurants which I thought very fair. Often they over inflate and you feel ripped off. The breakfast had a modest selection a little of everything but had a good breakfast. Some hot things, cold cuts, a few cereals, fresh bread, croissant and pastries (freshly baked and crispy). The freshly squeezed orange juice was great. The location was perfect for walking to local bars and restaurants and only 10 minutes from the rails station. It gets booked up in the week with business travellers, but weekends are usually free. Aalst itself is quite attractive with a clean, pedestrianised centre, many cafés with on street seating, great bars. It would also be a great base to visit Ghent and Brussels by train. I'd stay here again.

My compliments to the staff. They were exceptionally hospitable, and the first hotel in a long time that I stayed at who kept my towels hanging if I didn’t want to have them changed. Very pleased about that. The shower had a non-slippery floor, which was also welcome.

Absolutely satisfying experience in this hotel. Very friendly staff, from the front desk and the breakfast guy, to the housekeeping and especially the general manager, who gave me a very welcoming vibe. Everything in this hotel seemed perfect and almost didn't wanna leave, even though it's not really a low-budget hotel. Thanks to everyone for this great experience, including the other guests.

the breakfast offered fresh and varied options of great quality. Also everything was really clean. The breakfast service started at 6:30 which was good as I needed to check out early. The staff was incredibly kind and always willing to help, and offered a good service. Also, The bar has a good cozy atmosphere to enjoy a drink or a coffee while the prices are honest.

- Excellent breakfast buffet - Great sauna - Wonderful bedroom - Very friendly and helpful staff - The interior design is simply great - Within walking distance from station/city centre My partner was even more over the moon with this hotel, and we had an excellent stay here.
