ibis budget Blankenberge

Perfectly positioned as part of station complex (alongside the Mercury) and an easy if fairly lengthy walk down to the seaside (which itself is somewhat spoiled by being lined with block after block of ugly apartments - Knokke is more attractive in this respect), the hotel provides a good value and comfortable stay. As with most budget chains, the room was functional rather than attractive with not even a local photo to provide a splash of colour or interest. It was however clean and tidy and well-maintained with a good shower. The breakfast selection was good too, providing an ample start to the day

Check in was a bit confusing. I'd checked in online in advance but didn't receive details of how to get into the hotel. Had to enquire at adjacent Mercure hotel and they were able to give access to the Ibis hotel. Not a major problem but could be clearer.

Nice hotel. Friendly personel.

A nice chilled out and well located hotel in one of my favourite Belgian coastal towns

Our stay at Ibis Budget Blankenberge was not good. We arrived around 9pm and there was no one at the desk to check us in. We had to go outside to the neighbouring Mercure Hotel to checkin, which was a bit odd. The room was very basic and the sheets weren’t even made up on the bed. We were also evacuated from our room after midnight due to someone smoking in there room, setting off the fire alarm. The best part about the stay was the proximity to the train station which is less than a 2 minute walk from the front door of the hotel. I would only recommend this place for a lower cost option with good transport to Bruges, the stay itself was below average.
