ブランケンベルヘのイビスバジェットホテルホテル

This is a purpose-built Ibis adjoining the railway station at Blankenberge. It is clean and modern, and uses personalised entry codes for the lift and rooms for added security. The rooms are very basic and sparse but are thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the space. There is a drop-down shelf which serves as a desk, and a folding chair is provided. There were plenty of electrical outlets and USB charging points. I found the bed and pillows extremely comfortable. The bathroom was a pleasant surprise with a good-sized shower. Even with the window open I was not disturbed by the trains outside. Breakfast was basic but perfectly adequate, though there are probably better options available in town. There was a bit of a mix-up over the price of the breakfast (I ended up getting charged twice) though this was easily sorted out in a few minutes. All in all I was very happy, but had I been staying longer or with somebody else, I would probably go for the Mercure next door.
