"The hotel has everything you need but need some love ! Our room was nice, very hot but the window opened wide so fresh air could get in- there was a stain on the wall like something from a crime scene splatter. But bed comfy, big bathroom with a great power shower. Breakfast was good, ample choice and even a milk alternative available. Close to beach and the town - just needed some love to be given to the details."

Hotel Royal Astrid

8/10 Good
"Room with ensuite was spacious and clean with it being regularly cleaned during my stay. Staff were helpful, only issue is a lack of parking which adds further cost to the stay and sometimes you hear other guests dogs. I used the indoor pool which is good for a quick splash. Booked a massage which was okay, i think the lady found it tough as I'm 6ft, 120kg. Minutes from the beach and promenade all in all a pleasant stay."

  4. Book with confidence, not guesswork: Prices in Ostend shift with the season, local events, and how far out you book — but you don't have to guess. Hotels.com shows you the full price upfront with no surprises at checkout, and our price tracker tells you whether your dates are above or below average. So if you're flexible, you can shift your trip by a day or two to avoid peak season prices, compare pricesOpens in a new window and know you're getting a good deal before you commit.
  5. Think beyond the city center: Central hotels may come with a central price tag. A well-connected neighborhood a little further out may cut your hotel bill and can often give you a more local experience. Use Hotels.com's map view to find the sweet spot between location and value, and filter by price to see what's available across Ostend.
