  : Very friendly staff and superb breakfast buffet! Nice touch with tables laid out for each room.Rural, peaceful location but only minutes from N8 main route.Very friendly and helpful staff. Relaxed atmosphere and quiet.
  : Rooms are a little basic but still comfortable for a few nights.

  : Quiet location, friendly staff and really good breakfast buffet.
  : Not so good was the lack of sound insulation, the lack of English and the fact that they had to call in a chef from another hotel if we wanted dinner, which was hard to decide with no menu and no idea what was on offer and how much it would cost.

Wonderful

  : The hotel was absolutely fantastic. The room was huge and easily and comfortably fit in our little family of 5. The boys loved the views and everything about the area. The staff were outstanding and we loved our visit. Although there is not a restaurant on site, we loved that they picked us up and took us to their sister hotel 10min away for dinner. The portions were HUGE and honestly, my husband would have been fine eating a kids 'half portion'.... and the waffles... OMG they were INSANELY good!
  : The only thing that let the place down a little was that the shower was a bit 'mouldy'. It was clean but the sealant around the edges had blackened a bit and needed replacing.

  : Location was superb
  : Booked the Hinterland as advertised there was a restaurant on site. There isn't. Got taxi'd to their 'sister' hotel, 15 minutes drive away for foodRoom was ok, very basic, but clean. No tea/coffee facilities. No shower curtain/screen, so you have to be super careful having a shower not to soak the floor. Not goodBreakfast was nothing special. A selection of fruit, yoghurts, pastries. A choice of ham or salami. One choice of cheese, unless you wanted soft, pre-wrapped cheese. Scrambled eggs & bacon lardons. My husband & myself have stayed numerous times since 2015 to 2019 & it was a wonderful place to stay, however new owners took over during Covid & it has gone downhill unfortunately. Very, very expensive & not a good visit. We won't be staying again

  : Nice outdoor space and building. Nice breakfast room. Nice exterior building. Nice parking lot. Great restaurant in Hotel Hinterland if one specific chef is present. In his absence we had to go to the Abdij Lo on another occasion and the cook there is unfortunately way below, very amateurish and a disappointment compared to the chef of hotel Hinterland. The staff is friendly.
  : The rooms are specious but lack design and style. They look more like student dorms with three beds in each room. One bed is not made. Bathrooms are outdated. Room 3 has stuck shower and sink drain. The water does not drain and it gives you a disgusting feeling. Room 13 has a peeled off wallpaper. In room 3 the bed lights don't fit the actual position of the bed. See photo. The furniture is very minimalist while the rooms are large. No ambiance while the building inspires grandeur and style on the outside, it is not reflected in the design of the rooms unfortunately. Steep stairs between floors so we took the elevator. A total disappointment was the second time we had the dining at Abdij Lo as the restaurant at Hotel Hinterland was closed (this was on a Friday in July while hotel Hinterland was almost fully booked, this does not explain why the kitchen at hotel Hinterland was closed, maybe the chef was on holiday? ). The restaurant at Abdij Lo was fully booked with groups of senior motor bikers, drinking a lot and talking out loud. It was infernal to serve our dinner in such a noise and with 60-100 people in a rather small family restaurant after a tiring travel. Besides the culinary quality of the cook at Abdij Lo was way bellow Hotel Hinterland, this while they share the same menu and we ordered the same dish as at Hotel Hinterland, which was so good the first time we had it and the presentation was very stylish. Not so about Abdij Lo. A caricature. The French receptionist, though very young, does not speak English nor Dutch making communication difficult. Besides, having tongue piercings and tattoos by such a traditional hotel in a small village was a bit out of place. Reaching the hotel in the night can be a challenge as the roads are narrow and the property in inland, about 10 km from main roads.
