Thermae Palace

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.

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

Great location, nice view on the Beach. Beds were very comfy! Breakfast was a bit pricy but very complete and good.||Airco would have been nice, because the room was very warm. Shower in the bath was a bit tight but we managed.||15 min walk to the center of Oostende (~1 km). Boulevard is great, lots of nice places to eat.

We stayed here for a teambuilding event and had a fantastic experience! The hotel was very well organized, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The location is perfect — we were lucky with the weather and could really enjoy the beach and beautiful surroundings. It was a unique and inspiring environment for our team activities, and everyone had a great time. A big thank you to Lisa for making it all happen — we truly appreciated the support and planning. Highly recommended for business events or group stays!

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.

Spacious and clean. Comfy bed. Breakfast was superb. On the beach front at the quiet part of the beach. Reception and breakfast service was great. Easy access from Ostend train station even without car. We took the tram at Ostend train station and get off after 2 stops. Will come back.

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.
