This was a last minute booking in Courtrai/Kortrijk thanks to the French General Strike which necessitated leaving the country earlier than planned. The name doesn't give anything away nor does the building itself, situated after walking through a covered car park. One would glean from the information that it is some kind of wellness retreat though as it was just a one night stay, I cannot comment on those elements. The double room was very large, clean and tidy with offer and tea making facilities but with a number of apparent contradictions. The huge and inviting double bed turned out to be two separate mattresses which, unfortunately, opened up a gap when sleeping in the middle of the bed The bathroom was equipped with a good effective shower with some really excellent shampoo/body wash from Sweden. Head to the sink though and it is a different story - just one of those nasty cheap pieces of soap pre-wrapped in plastic. What a contrast! Breakfast was not included but apparently 2 versions are available, French and Flemish. At 19€ for the latter, you would expect a sumptuous buffet of local delicacies but I gave up on that when I was informed that included 3 slices of bread... Clearly not a buffet. In the room is a huge display which I initially took to be a TV - great for watching from the bed. Not so - it was just a photo of something non-descriptive. The TV itself was the smallest I have seen in any hotel room and completely unwatchable from the bed.

It’s my second stay and I can only recommend this place, very quite good parking and good value for money. Staff are great

Good place away from the town centre.
