Place closed

Not sure how far I could get after a day of driving, I did not book ahead. Seeing a hotel right on the Grand Place, I went in to see if they had accommodation.  The entrance led into a bar with an apparent tropical theme playing loud music.  I walked into the bar, and was shouted at by a young man whom I had walked past, asking what I wanted.

I told him I was looking for the hotel, and then saw a notice to his right leading to the hotel and started to walk pas him. He shouted to me to stay where I was. I enquirer about a room and he told me in no uncertain terms that none was available.  In all honesty, I was quite relieved as I no longer had any desire to stay in a place with such an unpleasant atmosphere.  I was happy to walk out, find a sympathetic cafe with wifi and book an alternative hotel.

Hostile reception with quite the most unpleasant hotelier it has been my displeasure to meet... did not stay

First room we were showed, absolutely stank of cigarette smoke, not surprising as the balcony had a hundred or more cigarette butts discarded on it, after complaining we were given another room  which again smelt awful and felt dirty.
Very steep staircase, no lift, hand rail missing on top floor, very tired and shabby looking place.
The hotel reception is in a cocktail bar downstairs. The wifi did not work so we were struggling to find somewhere else to stay
This is more of a scruffy bar that has rooms, very far removed from any city centre hotel I have ever seen or stayed at, it really is like a hostel, we elected not to stay here and found a beautiful boutique hotel around the corner.
Ya gets what ya pays for ......cheap and nasty

More of a backpackers hostel than it is an hotel

We stayed here on a Saturday night and were given a room at the front of the hotel overlooking the main square. An excellent view, but banging music from the nearby bars went on until 5am. No sleep then though as the street cleaners start sweeping the square with their cleaning trucks. It finally went quiet around 6:45am.
Breakfast was a bit disappointing - no meat and just a few prepacked cheese slices.
As others have said it's in a great location and I'm sure it'd be ok if you get a room at the back of the hotel. But take some earplugs just in case!

Noisy at the front!

Basic hotel, no frills. However, comfortable, and in an excellent location. The reception, such as it is, is closed from noon to 2:00 pm (like many other places in town).  Our room facing the back was nice and quiet, though the hotel is centrally located on the main square, convenient to the cathedral (under major renovation this year) and the belfry. The room looked old-fashioned but was perfectly clean and functional. The included breakfast was acceptable, up to the usual basic continental standard.

Basic hotel at the center

We booked with L'Europe by email, and that worked satisfactorily - we were expected when we arrived. There is no car park with the hotel, you simply park in the public spaces in front of the hotel.

The hotel is located directly on the Grand Place in Tournai, so is an excellent location from which to explore the town. We arrived at about 4pm and the front door was locked. There was no clear instruction about what to do about this but, after pushing various buttons, someone appeared from an adjacent cafe and let us in. There really should be clearer instructions about this.

The hotel comprises bedrooms only - there are no reception rooms, although there is an attached bistro-type place (where they serve breakfast). The reception itself is located in a cubby-hole under the stairs. There is no lift service to the accommodation floors, which number 3. Our room, which I imagine was typical, was of reasonable size but very plain - basic, really. But, it was clean and tidy, and we found the beds comfortable. Bathroom was OK. Our room faced the rear of the premises, and was very quiety - rooms at the front, overlooking the Grand Place, are likely to be a little noisy, but then you get the hustle and bustle of the Place goings-on.

Breakfast was included in the room price, and it was very good - with eggs, meats, etc., not simply croissants. Serving staff were friendly.

This is basic, two-star accommodation. It was quiet and comfortable enough, and in a very convenient location.
