IBIS Aalst Centrum misleading! *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

The hotel is not as the name says in the centre, but conveniently located near the highway but in a quiet location. The centre of Aalst is about two/three kilometer. The hotel has no actual restaurant only a snack bar, the closest restaurants are far away, in the centre of the city. The rooms are okay, rather small and the bathroom was a built-in ready tub with shower, as in many Ibis hotels. The breakfast buffet is fine and good, there is everything you could want, except if it is just a group Asians there, then there are no fresh orange juice or fresh fruit. All in all fine for a business trip but not suitable for holidays or short break!
