Thermae Palace

Perhaps 40 years ago this hotel could claim to be 4 star, but not anymore. Renovation is long overdue. The only thing the place has still going for it is the location on the beach front. We booked a superior room with terrace on the first floor. The room was spacious but minimal in comfort. The bathroom was outdated and did not give a clean feeling. The wooden door of the toilet was deformed and could not even close. The terrace was empty, no chairs, no table and the flooring with holes. Breakfast is ok, not special and service is minimal, probably trying to save cost with minimal personnel. But those who are there are very friendly. Overall significantly overpriced for it’s value.

Beautiful sea views and a fantastic location. The historic charm of Thermae Palace is impressive, but some areas could use renovation. Overall, a pleasant stay with unforgettable ocean scenery. A little too expensive for what you get. Bathroom was very old and could use renovation and the shower didn’t work properly.

We were enthusiastically anticipating our stay at the Thermae Palace Hotel. The staff was professional and helpful. However, the "lady" needs some care, and in fact this was underway during our stay. Guests in the not too far future will be able to enjoy the full architectural beauty of this building which holds quite a bit of history. Another attribute is the location right on the beach facing the North Sea. We enjoyed our stay, but it would have been so much better if the renovations were over when we got there... no one's fault, only bad timing.

We spent last week (from Monday to Friday) traveling as a family—father, mother, a 14-year-old son, and a 10-year-old daughter—and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ostend. Although the weather was changeable, it didn’t dampen our days by the sea.||The Thermae Palace won us over: a grand hotel in an outstanding location, right on the beach and along the long promenade. The staff were especially wonderful. The breakfast buffet is plentiful, the restaurant highly recommended, and we also loved using the sauna.||Yes, the hotel is a little dated and in places in need of refurbishment. For us, however, that’s part of the special charm of its bygone glory. Everywhere you can feel the effort to preserve that character and to modernize with care and good judgment.||We had an unequivocally good time—even if not every fellow guest shared our children’s joy in flying kites and then, inevitably, coming back into the hotel with sandy shoes.

This Hotel is one of the best in Oostende. The Staff are really lovely and welcoming. The Restaurant is Michelin Style and really Lovely food. A big Shout out to Mitre,Felicity, Zander and all the rest. The rooms are lovely with some lovely Views overlooking the Beach. This hotel is one not to be missed. Certainly coming back soon.

What an interesting and historically fascinating place. We had an enormous room. The bathroom would have been an actual hotel room in most places. Speaking of the bathroom, it definitely could use a refresh. This hotel has been in operation for a very long time. It has a patina of stories and it's like the Titanic in hotel form. It's a grand place. I imagine the upkeep is quite costly, but a huge investment could bring it back to its full glory. Great location on the beach, plenty of things to do for families. And a shout-out to the bartender who let me buy a gin and tonic after they were officially closed.

The view from the superior room is absolutely breathtaking - it feels like stepping into a painting. It truly doesn’t get any better. The hotel’s location right on the beach and by the iconic Promenade, combined with its elegant architecture and proximity to the Casino, make it a one-of-a-kind place to stay. Friendly service and excellent cleanliness complete the experience perfectly.

I stayed here with my children and their families to celebrate my 70th birthday. |This is a very beautiful hotel in a wonderful style. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. Staff are very friendly and helpul. The hotel is extremely well located just in front of the beach. The breakfast buffet was abundant and exquisite.|One minor: The lack of airconditioning

Stayed at the Thermae Palace for two nights with my wife and daughter, looking for a short stay by the Belgian seaside in the middle of the summer. The hotel did not disappoint. Located in a vast 100 year old hotel that was "the in spot" way back in the day, the hotel still retains that historic charm without being shabby. Our room, overlooking the North Sea, was clean, roomy and a reasonable price for the area at this time of the year. It had immediate access to the beach, which is vast, clean and, aside for the very windy day, would have a been a great sunny beach day. The North Sea wasn't even frigid. The service was always friendly, polite and accommodating. We rented bikes from the hotel and had breakfast in the hotel that, while not inexpensive at $25 euros a person (15 for the kid), was varied, high quality, good service and an easy opportunity to fill up for hours. The surrounding area has restaurants and amusements but the draw is the beach and sea, which can be entertaining for hours. Overall, excellent stay.
