This was our third stay so ther must be someting good. Not again is the location perfect for a visit to Ieper and the historical sites, it is also a very comfortable stay, very welcoming and quite spacious rooms. Not in the centre of town, but within walking distance of the market place and Menin gate. Good breakfast with fresh products, in short a perfect stay for a visit to Ieper. Beware that a lot of b&b's will open in Ieper in 2014, Hortensia is genuine and will not dissapoint.

It is a very comfortable friendly b&b ideal for a couple of nights stay to visit all the interesting history of Ypres. The host was friendly and attentive and the breakfast was well worth it. We were on the outer side of the city which was perfect for us as we could easily walk to the various interesting sites and centre.

This is my 2nd stay here in Ieper. Situated near the Lille Gate 10 minutes from the main square Hortensia is a well-appointed and friendly B&B. Veronique is really nice and easy to get along with. My En-suite room was clean and comfortable. TV and kettle and refreshments are available. Plenty of parking spaces around. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful. I had a packed lunch every day fpr my 4 days and as I was walking more than 20kms each day it was very welcome. Altogether this B&B was perfect for my needs and I'll stay here again if I can.

Veronique was a great host, very friendly and went way out of her way to assist us to arrange transport which we appreciated very much due to the language barrier. Breakfast was the best we had in Europe, so much variety and home cooked. We took the package including the Battlefields and the lunch package. Lots for lunch and the battlefields tour was very informative and moving- even found the gravesite of a great cousin. Would highly recommend this B&B.

Location is 5 min walk from main square and 10 min to Menin Gate. Found free parking within easy walking distance. Booked two twin rooms, nicely decorated and cleanliness was excellent. Shower cubicles in both were rather small, but water hot. Breakfast was good with decent coffee. Ideal place for a short break. We stayed two nights.

Stayed here in 2009 and was happy to return in 2017. When booking a room back in February, I happened to catch the owner, Veronique, online at the same time. She was quick in her replies and helpful with information. We had only planned on staying one night and the website wouldn't let me book anything because it requested a two-night stay (being a weekend). Veronique was very accommodating by opening up the website for a Saturday night booking. Likewise, she made arrangements for us to get in early by leaving a key in a lock box. We stayed on the second floor this time and the room was very spacious. It overlooked the main street, which was noisy at times with traffic. Without air conditioning, one has to leave the windows open for circulation. As I'd suggested in '09, ceiling fans could go a long way for adjusting the room temperature. Parking is plentiful on the outer perimeter of the city, which is free, but we opted for the paid parking via Hortensia. The lot was underground and about a five minute walk away. Breakfast was what you'd expect, with home cooked eggs made to order. We were certainly well taken care of and I'd be happy to return. The cost was fair and you're a mere 15 minute walk from the Grote Markt and Menin Gate. Some may prefer to be closer to the action but I quite enjoyed walking through the neighbourhoods and enjoying the local landscape.

We previously visited the Hortensia on a motorcycle trip and were so impressed this time we took our children. Great location, fantastic hospitality and accommodation. Veronique has a super knowledge of local restaraunts so we ate brilliantly well. Highly recommended

I arrived late (just before the "8PM every evening" last post ceremony at Menin Gate) but owner Veronica was not concerned. She gave me all details needed to get settled and wifi access (excellent!) and shortest walk path to the Gate, and some brochures on the WW1 history of the area. Best of all, the breakfast was amazing!

The room was very clean. It’s about 10 minutes walk from the Menen-poort/city center. Breakfast was excellent. As I was there for business too, thhe drawback was that breakfast started at 8am. For most people this will not be an issue. Would certainly recommend this.

Veronique welcomed us with tea/coffee and cake on arrival. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful - lovely breads, yoghurt, cheese, meats, fruit and scrambled or boiled eggs. On our first morning, as there were a few bread rolls left (another party of guests having cancelled at the last minute) Veronique asked if we would like to make use of them for our lunch and gave us more cheese and meats to make up sandwiches. We were also given a booklet with money off vouchers for local museums etc. Before we left for a day out Veronique told us about the local area and places of interest to visit together with recommendations for local restaurants. We wouldn't hesitate booking with them again - a true home from home.

We booked this B and B in order to visit Ypres but also La Musee de la Piscine in Roubaix, near Liille. Both Michael and Veronique were very welcoming and the room was lovely - beautifully decorated and comfortable. There was even a U.K. Plug adapter in the room, a very thoughtful touch! Breakfast was superb and the scrambled eggs were just right. There was a great selection of pastries, fresh fruit salad and yoghurts too with fresh apple juice and tea or coffee. A very pleasant place to stay in Ypres. Definitely worth five stars!

I was made to feel very welcome by the owners of this B&B, who gave me information and advice on what to see and do in Ypres as well as on my next stop at Wissant. The room was clean and comfortable and in an ideal location near the ramparts. I enjoyed the breakfast which had a good variety of food as well as the lunch pack that was made for me for that day. I would highly recommend a stay at Hortensia for anyone visiting Ypres.

Stayed here following a recommendation. In a good location , just past Lille Gate and pub. Yet only 5 mins into the town. Room was very clean great beds and shower. Breakfast was all you need and very fresh. Loved the white rolls! Eggs and bacon too order and I must praise the scrambled eggs. We were able to have the push bikes secure in the garage. Great quiet place to stay when doing the WW1 tour.

The B&B Hortensia is in a great location close to the centre of Ypres. I chanced upon this B&B on Expedia but booked directly and am pleased I did. Parking was convenient and the B&B was only about a 10 minute walk from the shops and restaurants. We were greeted and showed to our rooms which were bigger than I was expecting. All very modern and clean. Breakfast both mornings was good. Help yourself cereals and toast and eggs and bacon cooked to order. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent B&B, the owners are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have all the information you need for your stay. Breakfast is delicious, scrambled eggs are fantastic.A packed lunch is available if you have a day of walking or cycling planned. Very relaxed environment, close to the rampart cementry. Highly recommend.

If staying in Ieper I can highly recommend the Hortensia guest house. The room was spotless, the breakfast was excellent and our hosts Michael and Veronique were wonderful. We are looking forward to our next stay at the Hortensia in July.

The B&B Hortensia is a beautiful, friendly, clean place to stay, when visiting Ypres. It's inside the walls of Ypres, right next to the Rijselpoort, and close to everything (cathedral, meningate, market, etc...). It has hosts (Veronique and Michael) that do everything in their power to make your stay an experience to remember. The rooms are clean and tidy. Everything is provided for: towels, shampoo, shower-gel, hairdryer, etc...Their breakfast is fantastic: several kinds of fresh bread, homemade jam, locally produced applejuice and honey... bacon and eggs, or a boiled egg. On sunday morning homemade, warm pancakes. Fresh coffee... there was tea, chocolatemilk,etc... Our hosts were very friendly, and helped us with advice concerning trips, restaurants, etc... In one word: FANTASTIC and without a doubt one of the best adresses in Ypres to stay.

We arrived in Ieper by train and found B&B Hortensia a very easy walk from the station. Veronique welcomed us and provided coffee and a snack while sharing information about Ieper with us and making a recommendation for dinner. We felt instantly at home and settled into our larger than usual bedrooms. The location is very convenient for walking the Ramparts along to the Menin Gate, visiting the main square and the In Flanders Fields museum. Breakfasts were large and included yogurt, cereal, breads, meat, cheese and scrambled eggs and bacon. We didn't need to eat lunch later in the day! We felt extremely welcomed by Veronique and Michael and would recommend their home to anyone

This is a very clean and comfortable B&B with modern interior and decor. It is run by a very pleasant and helpful couple called Michael & Veronique. Nothing was too much trouble for them and as we were the only guests they were very flexible e.g. offering us any room and even texting me in the morning to say we could have an earlier breakfast than the time we'd arranged. The room we had was very large by any standard with a pleasant en-suite room and laminate flooring. The beds consisted of two twin beds together and were very comfortable. The large room we chose was at the front of the building and although it didn't affect us, there was some traffic noise despite it appearing to be very quiet in the evening so I'd suggest requesting a rear room if you're a light sleeper.Veronique offered to take us back to the station in their car after check-out if we wanted which wasn't necessary as we were being met by friends. Breakfast was a good Continental selection of ham, cheese, rolls & cereals with plentiful supply of toast, tea and coffee. Veronique also cooked us eggs and bacon. I would highly recommend the Hortensia as a perfect location for Ieper (Ypres) and as a base for exploring all of the Great War attractions around the region. It is a 10 minute walk to the Menim Gate and the Grote Markt,

This b and b is easy to find and very well located if you wish to stay near the centre of Ieper. Veronique and Michael are very welcoming hosts and cater for all your needs. The rooms are simple but provide you with everything you need. The breakfast is substantial both continental and offering bacon and scrambled eggs; with some of the best bread you will taste!! It is based about 15 minutes walk from the centre, with plenty to see when you get there. I would recommend Hortensia to anyone wishing to stay in Cenral Ieper

Ours was a one night stay on a fleeting visit. The room was very comfortable and with free parking nearby we were able to check-in and following a welcoming cuppa stroll back into Ypres well in time to attend the ceremony at the Menin Gate. An excellent breakfast the following day set-us-up for another day's exploration before returning to Dunkirk to catch the ferry home

We were met on arrival by Veronique with a very welcome coffee and cake. The room we had was excellent, extremely clean and the beds were very comfortable. We stayed for two weeks and the bed linen and towels were changed regularly. The Hortensia is in an excellent location, less than ten minutes walk from the centre of Ieper, right by the Lille Gate and the town ramparts. Breakfast was an excellent choice of cereals, meat, cheese and rolls. There was also the option of scrambled eggs and bacon or boiled egg. Veronique and Michael are extremely friendly and very helpful hosts. On our first evening Veronique could not have indicated more places to eat at night or to visit during the day if she worked in the Tourist Information Office. Can't wait to return.

Our group of four retired firefighter returned to the Hortensia having discovered it 3 years earlier. It is an excellent base from which to explore. Véronique, who speaks perfect English and Michaël provided the same warm welcome that we had remembered. Spotlessly clean rooms, breakfast that would satisfy the biggest appetites and a helpfulness that exceeds expectations on all levels. Véronique recommended restaurants to fit our budget and even telephoned to reserve tables on our behalf. We were all delighted with the food and value for money. As for the Hortensia, the old saying of 'never go back' does not apply here. We will return again. If you are looking for a B&B which is within walking distance of the Menin Gate, Ypres museum and a wide choice of restaurants, look no further, the Hortensia is a real gem.

A perfectly located b&b in the heart of Ieper, a pretty location and a short walk to main town. Excellent communication had with Veronique before we arrived (arrangements made as we were arriving a little late). Our room was on the third floor, spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. The room provides the usual mod cons, basic tv, hair dryer, kettle (no condiments though, you'll need to get these from the dining area). Free WIFI. Breakfast was lovely and certainly wont leave you hungry, eggs/bacon, fresh breads from the bakery over the road, cereals, ham, cheese, crepes! Close by is the Lille Gate, a welcoming pub/museum is a stone throw away aswell as the Ramparts Cemetery which is absolutely worth an early morning visit if you're and early riser!! I would happily recommend this B&B.

Stayed here for two nights. Situated in the town centre about 7 minutes walk from the main square. Stayed over the weekend and so enjoyed free parking right outside the front door. Run by a delightful, very friendly couple. Very comfortable beds in clean, minimalist but modern rooms. Excellent breakfasts!

Enjoyed my second stay in two years and third overall. Hortensia is ideally located near the Lille Gate so it's easy in, easy out. Not too far away is the train station, if that's your means of travel. You're less than ten minutes walk from the busier Grote Markt and Menin Gate too. Underground parking is available for a fee just a few blocks away. The room was spacious for two, though the bathroom, and particularly the shower stall, are tiny...typical of bathrooms in Europe, I find. Nevertheless it was clean and welcoming. There is no air conditioning (for those that it matters to) but a fan was provided to keep any kind of heat at bay. The whole place is generally quiet, except for the early morning traffic passing by on the cobblestones below. Nothing can be done about that but worth mentioning if you're a light sleeper. Consider asking for a room that backs onto the rear of the property or on the upper floor. In your room you'll find a map of the city with recommended places to visit and dine, which comes in handy when you're new to the area or want to try something new. Breakfast is your typical fare; plenty of cereals, meats, cheeses and breads, along with eggs cooked to your liking. Veronique is a welcoming hostess who ensures your needs are met but also leaves you to enjoy your meal. Bagged lunches are available for purchase (though I didn't purchase one) and bicycles can be rented too. This place certainly has it all and I would happily return for a fourth go-round. On a side note, if you're in the area for Great War history, consider visiting Ramparts Cemetery, which is literally around the corner. I had missed it on my previous two visits. Even if you're just a tourist, take a look at this peaceful place along the banks of the river.

A very clean, quiet and pleasant B&B, that is a 10 minute walk away from the city centre. It is in an excellent location, if you are visiting the area to tour the Ypres battlefields and cemeteries. Whilst it is situated on a main street, the surrounding area is very quiet. No problems with parking and there are a few local (and reasonably priced) shops nearby, to stock-up with provisions, if you are planning day-trips. The hosts, Michaël & Véronique, were very helpful and assisted with the usual questions / problems that you encounter in a town that is new to you - where to eat, etc. I have no hesitation in recommending the Hortensia - in fact I have already done so, to various colleagues!

Found this B&B through all the good reviews on the site and our choice was correct. Veronique is an excellent host and keen to ensure you make the most of your visit to the area. Just far enough out of the centre to be quite but 5 minute walk takes you to the main square. Recent changes to car parking arrangements mean you can no longer park adjacent to the property other than to drop off bags. Not easy to spot but drive through the bridge cross the roundabout and there is a road to your right and there is new free parking behind the group of shops 2-3 minute walk.

I found Hortensia by internet search and booked via email with Andre. This is alway a tricky way of doing it as you never know what you will find but i must say we were delighted. 3 of us arrived on our motorcycles and were able to park them in Andre's garage for the duration of our stay. My room was clean and comfortable (all that i had hoped for), and at a good price. I found Andre to be pleasant and helpful. The breakfast could do with a little variety but that's splitting hairs really. Would definately stay again.

A mate and I recently stayed her for 2 nights whilst on a cycling trip to Belgium. The lady who runs the B&B was very helpful and could see we were in need of refreshment when we arrived after a 58 mile cycle from the ferry and so she made us tea/coffee and cake. The B&B is basic but clean and the rooms are a decent size. One odd thing though - there were kettles in the rooms but no tea making facilities or cups etc?! Breakfast was really nice, all the usual things for a continental breakfast, cold meats, cheese, pastries, cereal, fruit etc. The host also asks if you want eggs freshly cooked, and if you do the choice is scrambled or fried. Again, a bit of an oddity is that you automatically get a rasher of bacon if you ask for scrambled egg but you don't if you ask for fried??! Must be a Belgian or Flemish thing I guess. The B&B also has a locked garage for cycles, motor bikes etc - a bonus. One thing to note though is the traffic noise. The cobbles outside the hotel seem to amplify tyre noise and surprisingly the road outside the hotel was very busy from about 6.30am until very late - this meant that sleeping with the windows open (we were fortunate to have very good weather) is almost impossible if you want to sleep.

Hired bicycles one day and enjoyed a peaceful cycle along the canal with a packed lunch prepared by Veronique. Nothing was too much trouble would definetly recommend

Although on the wya out of town this B&B has a good location, a 5 minute walk to the square and only seconds from the Lille Gate. Parking as always can be a bit of a hit and miss affair but shouldnt detract from a very warm welcome from the hosts, large, clean accomodation and excelletn breakfast. Ideal for first timers to the area as they are very willing to help those new to Flanders with maps, and advice, and a comfortable retreat for those of us lucky enough to be considered old flanders sweats. Excellent value for money to boot. In summer it can get hot, if you have a room overlooking the street, remember cobbled roads make a lot of noise at night and although an open window is nice the nise can interrupt your sleep.

A lovely welcome from Veronique and Michael with a cup of coffee and piece of cake on arrival. The B&B is spotless and comfortable. There is an honesty fridge containing drinks in the main part of the house and a kettle in each room. You can help yourselves to tea and coffee from the breakfast room if you want a drink in your room. The breakfasts are good - great local bread, cheese and meat, cereals, fruit and yoghurt plus Veronique will cook eggs and bacon. Parking is available on the street nearby. The location is adjacent to the Lille Gate and the ramparts cemetery. The walk along the ramparts and along the moat is lovely on a sunny day. The walk to the centre of Ypres is about 7 minutes. This B&B is really well run and a welcoming place to stay, ideally situated for visiting Ypres and the surrounding area. Highly recommended.

Buona posizione, con parcheggi gratuiti nelle vicinanze. Gentile ma invadente la proprietaria, che parla un ottimo inglese. Stanze ampie, pessimamente arredate con mobili da caserma, con pavimenti in plastica. Nessun prodotto di cortesia nel bagno. Un solo asciugamano per ospite messo a disposizione. Adsl wireless compresa nel prezzo ma impossibile da captare con un normale pc. Prima colazione abbastanza buona, con poca scelta di pietanze.

The breakfast buffet was excellent - fruit, cereals, bread, pastries and cooked items were on offer with home made jam and pancakes. The location is very good - just a short walk from the centre of town, the Menin Gate and the Cloth Hall. Excellent value and highly recommended.

Spent four nights in early April whilst visiting the WW1 Cemeteries in Flanders. A ten minute walk along a main street leading from Ieper Centre. Overnight parking in adjacent side street and Parking Permit available from owners for daytime. Made to feel very welcome indeed with access to tea and coffee facilities throughout the day.Breakfast is really special with a great variety of continental and cooked (first time i've had a slice of superb Bread and Butter Pudding for breakfast in a long time, oh and go for the perfect scrambled eggs...!) Owners were extremely nice and friendly giving help and advice when needed. Rooms were spacious, clean, very comfortable beds and quiet surroundings. Easy check-in and out. Cannot recommend it highly enough and hope to revisit one day. I normally fight shy of B&B's but this has converted me.

We booked two rooms, one for ourselves and one for an adult son. Both were spotless and very comfortable, our own facing the street on the 2nd floor (3rd floor if you are North American), had a small separate sitting area with a table, which was very convenient. Our son's room was on the first floor (2nd if from North America) and equally clean. I would say though if you have mobility issues, the steep and somewhat narrow stairs could be difficult to navigate. We parked a 5 minute walk away for free. Breakfast was copious, varied and absolutely delicious. We had booked a private tour of the area's WW1 war sites through our hosts Veronique and Michael. Lionel, the tour guide was amazing! Veronique packed us a lunch to take along during our four-hour tour, which was a welcome surprise. The location of Hortensia is within walking distance of all of Ypres' main attractions. Five stars, no question.

My friend and I stayed at Hortensia for two days this June, then three days in July. I have stayed at three places--hotels and b and bs-- in Ypres over the years and this B and B is definitely the best, both in terms of location and value for money. Hortensia is just up from the Lille Gate, from which you can walk to the Menin gate and town square through a picturesque park on the city ramparts. There is a bread store opposite and several food markets in the vicinity, in addition to easy access to the town's many restaurants and tea rooms. Andre is a most welcoming and helpful host, checking in with each guest periodically as to how he can help make the visit better and offering advice based on his many years' residence there. The rooms are spotless and tastefully decorated, the beds excellent. There is a good variety of choices at breakfast and plenty of parking nearby. I can't stress enough what a great deal you are getting if you book your stay here.

Zo voelden we ons bij aankomst in deze B&B, de eigenaars/uitbaters zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam en zeer goed op de hoogte van alle bezienswaardigheden in de streek, wat makkelijk is bij het plannen van de dagtripjes Kamers zijn basic maar heel gerieflijk en vooral heel erg schoon, worden perfect onderhouden Het ontbijt is prima en laat niets te wensen over, ligging is perfect, zeer dicht bij het centrum van Ieper en direct aan een uitvalsweg Een perfecte prijs kwaliteit verhouding Wij gaan zeker nog een keer terug !!!!!

They even managed to help with a visit to the Menin Gate and were very knowledgable about the local area. Excellent breakfast, no shortage of coffee or food. Would reccommend and will definately be staying again.

Got back from Belgium last night after a trip with another couple. We suggested to our friends to stay at the Hortensia. This was our 2nd visit. We were warmly greeted by Veronique. The B&B is spotlessly clean, and all rooms are en-suite. Highly recommend this B&B, especially if traveling by motorcycle as you can park in the garage. It’s about a 10 minute walk Mennin Gate. We will definitely be back again.

I travelled to B & B Hortensia with my husband and 3 kids. We would thoroughly recommend anyone to stay there. the accommodation was spotlessly clean, and the breakfast excellent. The owners are extremely friendly, and will do anything they can to help you get the most out of your stay. We had booked breakfast for 8.30 one morning, but overslept until 9.45! We assumed we had missed breakfast, but Veronique insisted on serving us, saying she was glad we had had such a good sleep! I enquired about the use of an iron, and she offered me her own personal iron & ironing board; nothing was too much trouble. The B & B is ideally situated for an evening stroll to the Menin Gate ceremony, at 8pm each night; not to be missed. To sum up, the Hortensia was the perfect choice of accommodation for my family and I, and I would not hesitate to recommend it or use it again.

We spent three nights at B&B Hortensia last week. We booked four rooms as a base for a family trip to the WW1 battlefields. The B&B is very well run - the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. It was warm and humid during our stay so had to sleep with window open - some noise from traffic as you would expect in a city location. Breakfast was plentiful and very fresh. Packed lunches are available which with hindsight we should have requested as the battlefields and cemetaries are often in remote areas. Excellent value for money and will use again for future trips to Ypres.

A recently refurbished small hotel near the centre. The rooms (we had three) were all spotlessly clean and very quiet. The owner is very helpful and speaks very good English. Parking is free nearby. WiFi was broken but as promised it was fixed early the next morning.

We stayed at the Hortensia B&B for 2 nights. Checking in on Friday evening was very smooth and just as planned. Veronique speaks excellent English. Our room was very spacious, clean, well equipped with comfortable twin beds and a great ensuite shower room. There were the facilities to make tea or coffee downstairs in the breakfast area and free wi fi. Breakfast was plentiful with a great choice of items. This was a convenient B&B with free parking across the road. The owners allowed us to use a parking permit and carefully explained the city requirements regarding its use. They provided a map and restaurant recommendations. It was not obvious that other people were staying except when we saw them at breakfast time. The location of the Hortensia is easy to find on one of the main roads into the city and just a 10 minute walk to the market square for the museum, and Menin Gate. The room we had was at the front of the building and there was street noise as the cars rumbled over the cobbles - this might cause issues at warmer times of the year with the windows open however we would definitely stay here again as we are regular visitors to this area and this is the best accommodation we have had and represented great value for money.

Stayed here from 8th sept till 11th absolutely lovely B&B. Brilliantly located on the edge of leper by the Ramparts cemetery. Lots of parking in side streets cars completely safe. Walking distance 10-15 mins to Flanders fields museum and meni gate. The last post every night at 8 a must. B&B very tastefully decorated immaculate and very clean hosts are very nice plenty of food to choose from for breakfast eggs,bacon,cereals,fresh bread,fresh baps,cooked meats and yogurts. This B&B is ideally located for visiting all cemeteries and museums and very good value for money would definitely recommend it.

A colleague and myself do a twice yearly "beer run" to Ieper. This B&B is perfect for our needs and is our accommodation of choice. It is well situated, well priced, friendly, very clean and as good as any B&B we have found in Flanders. All in all we find it a great place to stay and the on street parking has always worked for us. For the less mobile avoid the second floor rooms as the stairs can be a bit of a trial. Beyond that there is nothing negative and even the showers are effective.

We stayed one night at the Hortensia, what a nice place to stay. The room was super clean, up to date and the service was AWESOME. Located within walking distance to the main square and the menin gate, this B & B is a good choice. The food was great and there is free WIFI. We toured with Frontline Tours, one of the best tour guides I have ever had, named Lionel. My only iff would be that the town of Ypres closes EARLY. After 10pm, no resteraunts and no bars so eat EARLY. Cheers!

Booked this B&B at the last minute over the New Year. We called Veronique whilst we were travelling over as we couldn't find anywhere open with availability to eat for New Years Eve. Bless her, she went and found us somewhere to eat - with a fabulous atmosphere too! 5*. Bedroom was lovely, clean, modern and big with a very comfy bed. Breakfast - plentiful and lots of options. Perfectly placed in a quite part of the town close to Menin Gate - no issues with parking (free) close by. Totally recommend coming here.

Stayed in Ypres with my son for 5 days. The B&B is situated on one of the main entrances of Ypres, walking distance to everything you would want to see or visit! A free park and ride is located very close to the B&B where we left the car rental when enjoying the fabulous sites of Ypres. The room and bathroom was very clean and spacious. The beds comfortable, my son is tall and was fine. The owner is very nice and gave excellent recommendations where to eat, to buy things. Breakfast was yummy, we had scrambled eggs with bacon every morning with juice and coffee, with of course delicious croissants... Made our stay in Ypres much more enjoyable. Steve

This B&B is close to the center of Ypres and easily reachable walking from the railway station. Near you can also find lots of free parking. My room was simply furnished but comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was rich and various. The only lack in the service was that towels weren't changed every day. The owner Veronique is cheerful and gentle and can give you all the information concerning Ypres that you need.

We visited Ypres as a side trip to The Netherlands. The B&B was recommended to us by another visitor you advises on travelling in the area. He could not have been more right. Veronique treated us like family, fed us a great breakfast each day. She provided us with driving tour information for the WW1 sites and made us a travel lunch. The accommodations were excellent.

Once again we were not dissapointed,Veronique and Michael welcomed us with tea/coffee and cake,and as before the room was spotless,as many others have said this B&B is ideally situated for your visit to Ypres,and a gentle stroll into town either the main route ,or take the walk along the wall ,

What a lovely place to stay to visit Ipres and the western front battlefields. Highly recommended and we will certainly be back for more visits and tours of the battlefields. The breakfast is simple but that’s all you need, lots of local restaurants and bars, so no shortage of amenities around the area.

For a one night stay to visit war cemeteries and the Menin Gate this would be hard to beat. Very clean and well priced. Host welcomed us with a cup of tea when we arrived in the rain. Upstairs room fine, although floor creaked slightly. Bathroom good; breakfast fine. André is an interesting man, who speaks excellent English. DIscount if you pay in cash (€64 for twin room).

I had an extremely enjoyable stay here on my own in 2006 and wanted to show my wife the delights of the hotel and the town. There has been a change of management but the same high standards of cleanliness, friendliness and helpfulness remain. The rooms are modern and simply but effectively furnished. The welcome cup of tea (and cake) upon arrival were appreciated, as were the breakfasts. There is no lift but help is readily available for carrying cases. It is a ten minute walk to the main square and a further five to the Menin Gate for the evening ceremony. Nothing was too much trouble for the hostess, who even provided us with the ingredients to make sandwiches to take away on the morning of our departure. On any future return to Ieper (Ypres) this would be my accommodation of choice.

This little B & B is absolutely wonderful! It is conveniently located in Ieper, within the town site, close to the Ramparts cemetery, and the Menin Gate. Veronique gave us a warm welcome, with coffee and an almond pastry, upon our arrival. She gave recommendations for places to dine at. The room we were given was very clean and comfortable, with a nice decor. The breakfast each morning was delicious, with lots of variety. This is a small B & B, so the dining room is cosy. A packed lunch is available for a minimal charge. Bikes are also available. We each rented one for the entire day, and had a wonderful time touring a circuit on the map that Veronique provided to us. The last post ceremony at the Menin gate is something worthwhile going to, and it is easy to walk to. We felt truly at home in this B & B, and thank both Veronique and Michael for three wonderful nights' stay! Highly recommended!

Located just on the edge of the old town near the Rijsel (Lille) gate, free parking is possible just the other side of the gate. However we found it easy to get a 3 hour parking disc space for both loading and unloading, right opposite the building. Veronique and her husband are friendly and helpful, and provided us with useful information, vouchers etc. Room was nice and comfortable, breakfast was very good, with freshly cooked eggs and bacon, and fresh apple juice. We will definitely be going back!

Right next to the battlements of Ypres (where my great grandfather was posted during the 3rd battle of Paschendale in Oct 1917) the b&b is very conveniently located to explore the region. A 20 min walk into the centre of Ypres, with plenty free on street parking available. Rooms were spotless and very clean, a functional place, if a little sparse. Good breakfast, a great idea to have individual toasters at each table. Andre was helpful and very pleasant, a good host.

Excellent B&B near centre of Ypres only 10 mins walk to Menin Gate. Super helpful owner Veronique who made us most welcome and left loads of information for us re parking and places to eat/visit..incidentally the B7B can provide secure undergound parking for a small fee which is located only a short walk from the B&B. Could not fault this place for cleanliness and friendliness ..book with confidence you will not be disappointed.

We arrived just after 17:00 and warmly received by Veronique. After been shown to our room we were then made a lovely coffee and asked whether we had any questions? Any good restaurants in the area was the first. Veronique suggested De Ruyffelaer and courteously arranged a reservation. Incidentally the food was tremendous so go there if you want traditionaln Flemish food. The stay was lovely; very relaxed and clean rooms along with a great shower. The breakfast really set us up for the day and was as good as anything you'll find. Overall a great stay. Would I recommend? Absolutely 100% yes. Now that I've found Hortensia there's no need to go anywhere else. Stay here!!

This is a superb B&B just inside the ramparts at Ypres. Very friendly owners who cannot do enough for you. Rooms are very clean and the breakfast is to die for!! In easy walking distance of the centre of Ypres and the ramparts are very close by which is a lovely walk to the Menin gate. There is also a little local pub round the corner, very handy. Veronique (the owner) offers a packed lunch for 4 euro which is a bargain as you get so much. A good idea if you are exploring the surrounding areas. She can also arrange tours for you with a very nice guy who really knows his stuff. All in all it is a superb place to stay, super clean, super friendly and very very comfortable.

This is a small B&B operation at the southern end of the town. Five rooms I believe - clean, simple, and with an efficient and friendly service. Quiet at night, simple 'continental' breakfast with the option of a cooked egg dish to order. We were lent a 'Blue' badge for parking - something akin to a residents' permit enabling limited periods of free parking in designated areas - was very helpful throughout our stay.

Spent a lovely two days in Ieper tracing ancestors and doing a battlefield tour. The host was so lovely-especially after we were so tired the next day and actually over slept! The beds were sooo comfy and we were so appreciative that Veronique hadn't packed away breakfast. The rooms are spotless and it is in a fantastic location with handy parking nearby. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

The B&B Hortensia is a quaint and quiet classic B&B with clean and well furnished rooms and a very nice breakfast. We enjoyed 2 nights and it provided the perfect spot for walking into the old city. It's location near the Lille Gate provided a great chance to walk the old walls in and out of the city.

Me myself and 3 other gentlemen (debatable for 2 of them) arrived about 4 clock.knowing check in time was 5 o clock (as stated when booking) we headed for the ramparts pub/museum for some well deserved drinks (parking no problem ! Across the road) we stayed there sampling the lovely beer on offer ,word of warning ,the toilets round the back have been designed to smell of mustard gas to replicate the stench in the trenches so gas masks are provided if you ask behind the bar.this did not deter us as we wanted to experience what our soldiers went through on our second trip to Flanders. B&B Hortensia: When we arrived we had a lovely welcome from Veronique,we were shown to our rooms,two of us were on top floor(three shorts flights of stairs with rest space in between each if you are not good with stairs (as I am)but I had no problem . After dumping our gear in the rooms we were welcomed with coffee /tea and cake,lovely a great start to our three day stay. Breakfast: As usual when you are on the continent the normal choice,bread,cakes,cereal,jam,yoghurt,cheese ,ham etc........just remember it is not the UK and expect this . Also we were given scrambled egg with slice of bacon and beans..once again lovely. If you wanted a boiled egg or two you were also given the choice,which one of our group did and commented that they were boiled perfectly (quite evident as most of it ran down his chin !!) They breakfast covered everyone's needs. More than our soldiers got in the trenches and no bullets flying overhead! As someone who is in to motorcycling I loved the shelf with the nice helmets on display. Talking about helmets,a couple of residents decided to whistle and talk very loud at 8 o clock the first morning,waking us up if you are reading this thanks ! Packed lunch: We usually try and find somewhere to eat on our drive around the battlefields which can be difficult especially in the remote areas,we could of dined on raw potatoes and carrots from the fields but that could of been dangerous as an old mills bomb looks like a potato. We paid 5 Euros each for packed lunch of 2 filled rolls fruit,water,fruit juice and health bar.FANTASTIC so we could stop anywhere for lunch without leaving our route. The room: Spotlessly clean comfy beds television,kettle,shower and a hair dryer which we didn't use so women I don't know what horsepower it was,the bloke whistling at 8 in morning nearly got shrapnel wounds from it ! In a nutshell Veronique recommended places to eat,we went to one place where the food was superb (can't remember name) but food was superb slow cooked pork shoulder was to die for (wish the whistler had!!!) We couldn't get into others as they were full because we were late going out. Chicken soup: We had great difficulty finding somewhere that served chicken soup,as one of the group just loves chicken soup ,so if chicken soup is your favourite I suggest catching one from the many free wandering ones in the country and cook it in an old crater! Noise: Its a cobbled street everywhere.does not matter where you stay in Ypres you will get road noise so stop moaning.wear earplugs for god sake. Much quieter than what our soldiers had to endure,I have sensitive hearing,I can hear a fly fart from 2 yards but cobbled road noise didn't bother me (few pints of hoogharden does the job better than earplugs) Overall,: The hortensia is a great place to stay ,just 50 yards from lille gate and 10 minutes walk from the centre of Ypres. Diolch yn fawr iawn Veronique am gwneud fy penwythnos ,gobeithio aros gyda chi rhyw dro eto (Welsh) Thank you very much Veronique for making our weekend,hope to stay with you again some time .

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. When we chatted about our plans the owner printed out information and routes from the internet for our benefit. We were visiting the War Graves and this hotel was ideally situated for visiting the Menin Gate and surrounding areas. The hotel was immaculate. The breakfast was continental with plenty of choice and a hot option was also offered. Packed lunches were available at a very reasonable rate. We recommend this hotel very highly.

We picked this B+B for an over night stop on the way back from Lake Garda by Motorbike. This is a great B+B in a nice location close to the centre of town. It is on a main road so there is some traffic noise, get a room at the back if possible, the traffic does quieten down at night though. Room was clean and bed comfy,, the stairs are a bit steep though. We reserved a place in the garage, parking in the street is pay and display although some other motorcycles parked in the cycle parking across the road and didn't encounter a problem. Breakfast was excellent, Ypres is a great place to explore lots of history and the Menin Gate ceremony is worth seeing but get there early to get to the front.

We enjoyed his company and the Battlefields were terrific. A must do is the service at the Menin Gate every night at 8PM. Awesome.... Highly recommend this B&B. Carmel

My family and i (6 adults in total) stopped at this B & B on the way to Gremany for the night. from the moment we rang the doorbell we were welcomed by open and warm arms with a fresh cup of coffee and cake. What a lovley touch after a long journey from the UK. The rooms were very clean, modern, spacious with a very comfortable bed. outside was quiet all night long. The next morning we were welcomed with the best breakfast of our 12 day trip in many different countries. Fresh bread rolls from the bakery across the road, as light as a cloud. A fantastic, heavenly array of homemade preserve ranging from traditional jam to kiwi. We were asked if we would like bacon and eggs which was greatly welcomed as these were the best scrambled eggs i have ever taken. 10/10 for brerakfast. We normally stay in calais on the way to Gremany twice a year but we will now be stopping over at the B & B Hortensia, thank you to Veronigue and Michael x

We only stayed one night, but can certainly recommend BB Hortensia, very clean and comfortable rooms, breakfast was excellent,a choice of scrambled or boiled eggs, bacon as well as the usual continental breakfast, and the bread was lovely. Michael and Veronique are very helpful and friendly hosts, greeting you with coffee and cake. The location also is very good, just a 10 mins walk to the Menin Gate. Would certainly stay there again.

I can't recommend this B&B highly enough. Andre was very welcoming and helpful. It is simple but really comfortable, extremely clean and spacious. The breakfast was great. I thought it was very good value and would definitely stay there again. If you're visiting Ypres for a few days don't bother to stay in one of the hotels, stay here!

If you want a good, clean, bright and welcoming b&b in Ypres (Ieper)... you need look no further than the Hortensia. The young hosts, Veronique and Michael, couldn't have been more friendly and helpful - even to the extent of providing maps and discount tickets for our travels. The b&b is perfectly situated - 100 metres or so from the ancient city wall, and around eight minutes walk from the main square and its restaurants, and the evocative Menin Gate. Nearby parking is easy (and free), as well. The six spacious en-suite guest rooms are bright and spotlessly clean - and the hosts serve a decent breakfast. If you want a cold drink of any sort, you just help yourself from the communal fridge downstairs and tell Veronique or Michael later. That simple element of trust sums this b&b up completely. To be thoroughly recommended.

Got back from Ypres last weekend after a trip with two other couples, we stayed again at the Hortensia, as always we were warmly greeted by Veronique and Michael. The hotel is spotlessly clean, all rooms en-suite and now with a kettle supplied in each room. Breakfast is the usual continental style with meats cheeses breads and cereals, just help yourself, however Veronique also does freshly cooked eggs to your request with bacon and beans if you want, she will also make you up a lunch pack if you want which is a great idea if your off walking or biking around the country lanes. Highly recommend this Hotel, especially if traveling by motorcycle as you can park on the very wide path opposite side of the road, if your a cyclist, they let you keep your own bikes in the garage as well as offering a very reasonable bike hire. We will definitely be back again.

We have stayed at Hortensia a few times now and are always warmly welcomed by Veronique. The en suite rooms are clean, warm and well thought out with cable TV, hairdryer, kettle and lashings of hot water. It is situated by the Lille gate in Ypres so parking is convenient and free. Breakfast is very good with plenty of choice and the scrambled eggs are the best I've tasted. We will be back again without doubt so I highly recommend the Hortensia if you want a modestly priced home from home.

Breakfast - excellent; bacon and eggs with full continental. Classiness - very good. Room included - shower, toilet, tv. From the tea and cake on arrival, to the best wishes on departure - it could not have been better.

We were booked to stay for 3 nights from the 9th to the 12th October but I ended up staying until the 14th due to my husbands unexpected illness. Veronique runs the best B&B I have ever stayed in and is the most helpful and kind person you could imagine. With all the stress that I was going through she ensured that it all went smoothly and nothing was too much trouble. I could not have managed without her. The rooms are so comfortable and warm, the breakfast is amazing, and all her visitors are so friendly too. I cannot praise Veronique enough and if you want the best stay in Ypres the B&B Hortensia Is THE place to stay. They deserve a TripAdvisor Excellence Award 2015 and any other prestigious Award. We will stay again as soon as we can once my husband is fit and well.

Tijdens ons bezoek aan Ieper verbleven we één nachtje in de B&B Hortensia. De vlotte gastvrouw ontving ons goed en toonde ons de kamer. Deze was proper en voorzien van het nodige. De badkamer was eveneens zeer net en voorzien van zeep, shampoo ed. Het ontbijt was meer dan ok, alles wat je verwacht van een ontbijtbuffet is aanwezig. Met smaak gegeten. Denk met plezier terug aan ons verblijf in Ieper en de b&b !!

Whilst staying in France we decided to make the short journey over the border to Belgium to see the Menin Gate Ceremony at Ypres. Booked this B&B on-line which was an easy process and the owner, when we met her, spoke very good English. The B&B is a little away from the centre but easy to find with a SATNAV. On street parking is plentiful (paying during daytime, free overnight) nearby. Our room was accessible from 17:00 and was large, modern, very clean with a lovely bathroom. The only drawback was the overnight heat which led to us leaving the window open and having the noise of the street; even at quiet times the sound of car tyres on the road surface was noticeable. Distance from the Grote Markt was not a problem; in fact it was a very pleasant stroll through very nice streets with beautiful old buildings. Breakfast was a wide range of buffet items plus eggs cooked to order if you wanted them. The boiled eggs with soldiers were excellent! We will return and would recommend.

Veronique and Michael were really welcoming and friendly. The rooms were modern, very clean and tidy and the B&B was in a really convenient spot for visiting Ypres and the surrounding area. Veronique made us all a coffee and a piece of cake when we arrived. She gave us information on local bars and restaurants. The breakfast was superb - cooked to order scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, ham cheese - excellent. We will definitely be back!

Heel vriendelijk onthaal door Michaël en Veronique. Beiden zijn erg in de weer om hun gasten een comfortabel verblijf te geven én een thuisgevoel. Zeer propere B&B, met smaak gedecoreerd. Héérlijk ontbijt. Niet te versmaden bij het ontbijt: de huisgemaakte pannekoeken en 'bodding'. Als ervaren B&B bezoeker wereldwijd is dit 1 van mijn favoriete adresjes! Warm aanbevolen.

Stayed here for three nights, we picked it for the secure garage and the good review. We were in an attic room up two flights, which was not a problem for us. The room was clean, modern and comfortable. The host was welcoming and the location was a short stroll into the central square and Menin Gate. You can walk through a nice park to get there and the ceremony at 8pm is well worth a visit. My only negative is the hot breakfast is bacon and eggs with toast no variation. But saying that there are lots of self service choices too. Overall a great stay. Thanks

Dit was ons 2e verblijf en ook nu viel de gastvrijheid als een warme deken om ons heen. De kamers zijn redelijk ruim en hebben comfortabele bedden. Op loopafstand van het centrum, met alle hoogtepunten van Ieper ''om de hoek''. Ook worden er door de gastvrouw heel veel tips gegeven voor het verblijf in Ieper e.o. Minpuntje? Ach als ik echt ga zoeken is het enige dat de tv wat aan de kleine kant is, maar dat is echt een heel klein detail.

I don't often stay in B&Bs, but this one would make me change my patterns. It is first rate in all respects. First, Veronique (sp?) is tireless, efficient, and friendly. Secondly, the room is large and comfortable, spotless too. The breakfast is superb, including eggs cooked to order. Its location is convenient, too, with just a short stroll to the Cloth Hall and not much further to the Menin Gate. Parking might prove a problem, but our luck held and we were able to find a spot across the street and learned from Veronique the ins and outs of Ypres parking. A strong wifi connection is important these days; I'm happy to report that it was excellent here. Ypres/Ieper is a wonderful small city and Hortensia makes it even nicer.

Michael & Veronique gave us a very warm & friendly greeting - making us tea + coffee with cake on arrival. Veronique speaks excellent English. The rooms were bright, modern & extremely clean. Tea & Coffee making facilities were provided for the rooms. The breakfast was Continental, but also included cooked eggs & bacon. A great start to a day of sightseeing. The Hortensia is only a 10 minute stroll to the centre of Ypres. Parking can be a bit difficult, but we managed to find a space close to the Hortensia after waiting patiently for a little while. A few doors along was 'The Ramparts' - a really nice bar with a museum at the back. It is worth a visit. We stayed 2 nights & wish we had booked in for longer. I can thoroughly recommend this B&B and would book it again if I return to Ypres.

A friend and I chose this as the base for a weekend trip to tour the Ypres area with our sons. Accommodation was clean and decor throughout looked new. Free wifi and the breakfast choice was just right before setting out for the day. Accommodation is a short walk from the market place and ideally located for touring the area. Packed lunches and cycle hire can also be arranged through the owner. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

We stayed there for 4 nights, to visit Ypres and the WW I sites. Very friendly and helpful, clean and nice stay. Breakfast was good. Parking was excellent arranged, a good solution for a busy town and easy and secure access. The only down side I found is the busy road on the B&B is situated on. We had a front room, and had to keep the windows closed overnight not to wake up early. Not sure if the rooms on the back of the B&B had the same experience. For the rest a perfect stay, many thanks.

We (2 seniors with adult son and granddaughter) had two rooms with twin beds on first floor. On the positive side, the rooms were very clean, the breakfasts great as generally noted elsewhere and we were allowed to check in early, which was a major benefit having arrived early direct from Canada. The caveats which downgraded our overall rating from 4 to 3 stars are as follows: 1. There is very little storage space to unpack. OK if one night with a carry on, otherwise living out of the suitcase. 2. We found the mattress soft and the pillows even softer. It didn't bother our son or granddaughter but at our age we need firm support. 3. The shower temperature control was super sensitive. A very slight adjustment could result in freezing cold or scalding hot. As noted elsewhere, the shower stall is small and it is easy to accidently turn off the water with your body movements against the push on/off knob. Unlike other reviewers,we found the water pressure low. 4. We pre-booked secured parking but didn't realize it was not adjacent to the property but a 5 to 10 minutes walk. Not so bad if it is not raining and you are only using it for overnight parking. More disconcerting is that the assigned space is two levels below ground in an old building with very tight narrow ramps. It took two of us to maneuver our standard size rental down the second ramp. The signs on the walls indicated that there were many mishaps. I have not found any similar concerns among the posted reviews, so mine may be an outlier. Also, the caveats as noted may not be issues that concern you. In such case, you shouldn't be disappointed.

This was our first trip abroad to view the battlefields - even though we are in our late plenties, Veronique and Michael were extremely helpful in what to see and do in case we had missed out on our planning, helping with maps and guides etc. A very clean b&b with comfortable beds and the breakfast set the two of us up for the day even with my large appetite

This was our second stay in B&B Hortensia and Michaël & Véronique were as accommodating as ever! The rooms are clean and comfortable and in a prime position close to the town centre and with the beautiful ramparts minutes away. We used the rental bikes from the B&B which are a brilliant way to get around, and Véronique kindly helped us plan our routes and made recommendations on where to go. Nothing seems to much trouble at the B&B Hortensia and we are already looking forward to our next trip!

We stayed two nights at the Hortensia during a visit to Ypres and the cemeteries. While there one of our party suffered an accident and needed medical help: the hostess at the Hortensia could not have been kinder or more helpful - serving our injured friend in her room giving us directions to the hospital and ringing ahead to let them know we were coming. We were extremely impressed and grateful. But putting that event aside the Hortensia is excellent value, 10 minutes from the Square, quiet, near the beautiful ramparts at the Lille gate (the only original gate left in the walls), spacious rooms and an excelllent breakfast (eggs boiled to perfection). We will certainly return - probably for the Cat Festival in 2012, if not before.

I have stayed at the Hortensia several times with the previous owner Andre,and this is the first time with the new owners. It clearly is a business that continues to develop impressively. The style of the, rooms is bold and interesting,clean and fresh. Breakfast now includes hot food,which is great Very pleasant experience altogether.

Een goede kamer (rustig gelegen aan de achterkant), schoon, "basic", maar alles wat je nodig hebt. Prima ontbijt, hartelijke ontvangst met koffie en cake, een senseo apparaat met pads gratis ter beschikking. Behulpzame eigenaren, die van alles weten en het je graag uitgebreid vertellen. Als ik al een minpunt zou moeten noemen, is het de TV die wel erg hoog hangt, waardoor je een stijve nek krijgt. We komen graag nog eens terug.

I spent 3 nights at the Hortensia following a personal recommendation from a friend. The room was spotless, the welcome friendly and the breakfast excellent. The location is perfect for the Ramparts 1914-18 museum, Ramparts Cemetery and for strolling around the Ramparts to the Menin Gate. Parking if free just around the corner. It is a 10 minute walk to the centre of town and to the Menin Gate. I had a room facing the back and I was not disturbed by any traffic. Anyone wanting a lie-in will be faced by church bells at 8.00am. The owners are friendly, efficient and keen to help BUT they are not hugely knowledgable on the 1914-18 war. The other guests at the B&B were also not 1914-18 enthusiasts. When I stay in the area I want to stay in placesw where other guests are keen 1914-18 enthusiasts. There are no 1914-18 books/photos/documents in the B&B. This may be a positive for some guests. The rooms are functional. The TV was tiny but I did not want to stay in the room and watch TV. My 3 days in the twon were superb.

Good breakfast,more comfortable and much improved decor. Veronique is an excellent hostess-friendly, English speaking and knowledgeable about area-well worth a visit for a quiet stay near Menin Gate, which is a short walk along the Ramparts away ( or through the streets, which takes longer. Parking can be problematical, but Veronique will help out with permits.

Stayed at the Hortenia with some biking friends while remembering and paying our respects during the WW1 centenery. It's ideally placed in the centre of Ypres to visit all the sites of interest. The Menin Gate is only a 10 minute walk through the cobbled streets. Veronique looked after all our needs and was a great host. The rooms were well catered for and clean. Breakfast was good enough to set us bikers up for the day. As the roads are cobbled, the traffic does get quite noisy especially in the morning. Our room was road side but with the windows open due to the heat. All in all, highly recommended.

Veronique runs a really comfortable, welcoming and well equipped B and B. An easy walk to the Menin Gate along the ramparts, or into the town square where there are excellent places to eat and drink. Breakfasts, as mentioned by others are great, varied and include her home made bread and jams. Highly recommended.

A nice place to stay for a couple of nights. Run by a very friendly lady. Rooms perfectly adequate with en suite facilities. A simple but tasty buffet style breakfast. The only downside is, rooms are reached by very steep and narrow stairs. Completely a no go for disabled guests or those who struggle with stairs. On street parking available. Very close to all the local attractions.

We arrived early, 2 wet motorcyclists having covered 260 miles that day yet we were warmly greeted by Veronique who from the moment she opened the door treated us superbly. As others have said, the accommodation is modern, very clean and is close to the centre of the Ipre. Space had already been made available for the 2 motorbikes in their garage, so we wheeled them straight in. Veronique showed us our rooms and advised us where to eat locally and gave us our keys to the door. En-suite bathroom has shower (no bath) with towels. Bedding is comfortable and clean. Rooms have TV. Wifi is no extra cost. The next morning (Sunday) our breakfast was cooked by Michael and Veronique and was perfect. We ordered a packed lunch to help us on our way which was provided for a few extra euros. Will definitely stay again if we are anywhere near Ipre..

Royal British Legion Riders Branch trip. We travelled as a group of 27 staying in various places, 8 of us stayed at the Hortensia at it was a very good choice. Travelling by motorcycle the hosts were more than helpful in moving items enabling us to get 6 bikes in the garage, safely locked away for the night. We were greeted with copious amounts of coffee, much appreciated after a day in the saddle. The rooms are well appointed and clean with access to drinks is available free of charge, on suite is wellmaintained and hot water a plenty - even had BBC1 on the tv. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful, if you can fill us up you can fill anyone. Michael & Veronique couldn't be more helpful and we will definately be back. You won;'t be dissappointed.

The Hortensia is very clean, comfortable, and in a good location. Andre, the owner, is very helpful, and good at recommending places to visit.. When I arrived, late in the evening, he offered a cup of tea, which was needed after a long journey from the UK. The room was very comfortable, with an en-suite bathroom (with a good shower) and a TV with some British TV channels (BBC 1, BBC 2, and ITV). The breakfasts were very good, with cereals, jams, fresh breads and rolls. I would recommend the Hortensia for anyone wanting simple B&B accommodation in Ieper.

We have stayed at the Hortensia several times over the past four years and throroughly recommend it. The new hosts are very pleasant and helpful and we enjoyed the welcome with tea and cake. the rooms are spotless and the breakfast extremely satisfying. Free parking nearby and a secure garage for cycles is an added bonus. It's a great place for exploring Ypres and environs, or for a short stay between cross channel ferries and further destinations.

From the outset, Veronique was a great hostess. She spent considerable time, over coffee and cake, giving us useful tourist information about WW1 sites, etc. Our room and bathroom were both a good size and we didn't hear any church bells! She also suggested free parking places very close by as the spaces opposite are metered. The breakfast was good with plenty of choice. There are kettles in each room. An easy walk into Ypres where there is an excellent museum called 'In Flanders Fields'. If we went back to the area we'd definitely stay at Hortensia again.

This B&B could scarcely be bettered. The accomodation is clean, spacious and modern. The hosts go out of their to make you welcome and are very willing to give advice and help to make a stay in Ypres memorable. The breakfast was excellent and one choose choose either the continental or more English option or a mixture of both. I would heartily recommend Hortensia.

The rooms are immaculate and very comfortable. Breakfast in typically continental (after all we are in Belgium!) with plenty to choose from. In comparison to alternative acommodation in Ypres, the Hotel Hortensia is unbeatable! Great stay and greaty value!

This is the second time we have stayed at Hortensia (third time for my husband) and again Veronique and Michael made us very welcome. The rooms are light and airy, the beds comfortable and the shower powerful. There was plenty of choice for breakfast and the bread rolls were particularly delicious. Good bars and restaurants in the vicinity. The Menin Gate ceremony, as always, a must visit. Unfortunately we didn't get chance to visit the re-vamped In Flanders Field museum but hopefully our next visit will rectify that - with a further stay at Hortensia of course!

We were helped from the outset by the owners, who came out to advise us on parking. We were then invited to take coffee and cake - which was a very nice touch. The rooms were beautiful and spotlessly clean. One of our rooms overlooked the rooftops at the back of the house and the other room overlooked the street - which was a little more noisy. However, the situation is perfect - a stone's throw from the walls which we walked around to the Menin Gate. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order, and delicious. We will certainly stay at Hortensia the next time we visit Ypres - which is a most beautiful town.

We visited Ypres for 3 nights in November at this easy to find, well located B&B. The rooms were clean & comfortable, although a bit warm on the top floor. Our room had a velux window but not practical to open when it is raining! There is no parking on the street but there is a free car park just outside the city walls about 200m away, where we left the car for the duration of our visit. The walk to the main square takes about 20 minutes at a good pace and they have a couple of bicycles that you can hire for 10 euros a day, which we made good use of to explore the surrounding area.

Location is good on the edge of the old town with the centre an easy walk away. Parking a bit tricky because of restrictions but there is free parking a short walk away. Great base for exploring Flanders.

Just returned from a four night stay at B&B Hortensia. It is a lovely house which the front is used as guest rooms and the family live in the rear extension. We were welcomed by the owner Veronique who made us feel at home immediately. She was extremely helpful in giving us advice on good local restaurants and on the local area, where to park for free, and where the sites I wanted to visit where. She lent us Maps and guides and also gave us a voucher book which gave discount into the main attractions and museums. The room was very clean and spacious, I had asked for a room at the back, as I had read others comments on road noise, and this was a good decision as the cobbled street outside is a main road into Ypres Centre. We were welcomed every morning with a great spread for breakfast - fresh bread, cheese, ham etc etc. You will also be offered eggs in any style you wish, the scrambled eggs were great with beans and bacon. On our last morning we had pancakes. This is a well placed B&B, in a quiet part of Ypres, but its only an easy, flat, ten minute walk to the Centre were you will find plenty to do and see, and of course attend the Menin Gate Ceremony.

Unbelievable, but Ypres is actually a modern city. It has been rebuilt to mirror its previous existence over the last hundred years after near total annhilation following the Great War of 1914 - 1918, when it sustained devastating bombardment in its position in the Ypres Salient. Situated within the old City wall of that part of the remains of the old Vauban Fort, still standing and restored after the Great War. Located within easy walking distance of the Cloth Hall (5 minutes) and the Menin Gate (8 minutes and a must see when there - the Last Post). We were told to treat the house as if we were home and the owners meant it. Bedroom with ensuite shower-room was recently decorated and comfortable in a minimalist style and even had a kettle provided (as well as free wifi connection). Well priced tariff gave an inclusive continental breakfast, but we were also offered scrambled eggs and bacon! The house offers packed lunches, cycle hire and even trips around the battlefields can be arranged if desired. on street parking is chargeable between 0900 hrs and 1800 hrs but free parking is available on off streets if

We stayed at B&B Hortensia for 3 nights on the 2nd leg of our family whirlwind European vacation. The location is good, nice & quiet, and only a few minutes' walk from the downtown area. The rooms/facilities were spotless and very well equiped. The breakfasts were excellent and ample. Our host, Andre, was most hospitable and offered valuable help and advice in planning some of our daily excursions. Liked Ypres very much and enjoyed B&B Hortensia as well.

We stayed in this B&B for two nights in June 2006. It's in a lovely house at the edge of the city centre (5 mins walk to main square). It's located just next to some of the old city ramparts and gate. Rooms are simple, nice and clean. Beds are comfy, bathrooms spotless with a good shower. Very quiet. André who runs the place is very friendly and helpful. He'll give you lots of leaflets, maps and information, and his own personal recommendations. Breakfast is good with cereals, yoghurts, toast and fresh breads daily. Really good value at just EUR58 for a double.

The location is not in the centre, but it is easy to walk to the centre - 10 mins. Hotel is on the main road from Lille Gate to Centre, but our room was also on the main road and the double glazing was more than adequate, we didn't hear a thing. Big, simply furnished room and excellent breakfast with cooked, to order, hot food. They also make up packed lunches if you want them. Parking very easy,masses of room

We are an Australian and NZ couple and can report that this was a wonderful B&B. We were recommended it by another hotel in Ieper which was booked out, (lucky for us). Previous reviewers have said it all - but we repeat - Veronique and Michael run a great business providing clean, modern good value accommodation. The rooms are big and comfortable. The location is unsurpassed if you want value accommodation with evening food, pub and transport nearby. Close enough to the Menin Gate to walk easily but far enough away from Grand Place to not be right in amongst tourist throngs the whole time. Walking distance to train station where all local / regional buses run from / too. Also certain buses available a few hundred metres away in either direction of Hortensia on Rijselsestraat. We received genuinely helpful assistance provided by Veronique - not pushy; just helpful - ask about Lionels tours because he is an absolute gem as well. The generous breakfast is a wonderful start to the day and there is a pizza place down the road toward Grand Place, open evenings. If you want to experience Belgium beer the best pub in our opinion is also just steps down the road from Hortensia B&B towards the Ieper Gate....called Klein Rijsel http://rampartswarmuseumypres.com/Engels/English.html It is also a museum but don't let this put you off going inside for a drink. You don't have to go through the museum to have a beer - it is a true pub. Really really good, fabulous beer menu and the owners Jan and Fabienne are enthusiastic hosts catering mainly to locals but very hospitable with information on all beers if you are interested in this. Belgium beers are remarkably good quality and in this pub a good price. Our experience at Hortensia was originally going to be only 2nights but we extended to 5nights we were so happy and comfortable with our surroundings. Ieper is a fantastic place and a great ambassador for Belgium and its people.

Two thumbs up for this place. Andre, the owner, was very accommodating and helpful - readily volunteering information about the area. We had a twin room on the upper floor (no lift/elevator so be prepared to carry bags) which was clean and roomy. I suspect it gets warm up there but it rained the night we stayed, which kept the temperature comfortable. Investing in a ceiling fan to cool the room down might be a good idea, but again, we had no problems. Breakfast was simple and typical of what you'd find on the continent (cereals, yogurt, breads, cheese etc.). Location-wise, Hortensia in on the fringe of Ypres but within a 15 minute walk of the Grote Market where museums, cafes and shopping are plentiful. Very lovely town, Ypres and the Hortensia gives you a taste of the local life. [Try the pizza at Poppys in town!] I would have preferred to check in earlier but the typical check-in time at Hortensia is after 5pm, FYI. All in all, a pleasant experience and I'd certainly return if the opportunity was there.

I stayed at the Hortensia in Ieper/Ypres for four nights at the beginning of September 2007 and booked our rooms after browsing the web and finding the Hortensia web site while looking for accomodation in Ieper. The purpose of our stay was to spend a day each on the following: 1) Sites in Belgium of First World War history. 2) Sites in northern France of Second World War history. 3) A short visit to Brugge (Bruges) and Gent (Ghent). Hortensia is within easy reach of all of these by car. (Note: visitors to Brugge and Gent will need far more than a few hours in each, my visit was a repeat visits to specific parts of those fine cities, being a regular visitor to both. If you haven't been before, allow at least a full day in each, maybe several days depending on your interests). We found the rooms clean and comfortable and the breakfasts good. Ample safe car parking was available in the streets around the B&B, we had no worries in this respect at all. The B&B is about 10 minute walk from the main square in Ieper and the Menin Gate (where the Last Post is played at 8pm every night of the year). The railway station is about 15-20 minutes walk away. The B&B is situated very close to one of the gates through the town wall and it is possible to take a pleasant walk around the town ramparts to the Menin Gate or the railway station, as well as slightly more direct walks along the streets. Mention must be made of Andre, the proprietor of the Hortensia. A very helpful and friendly gentleman - his care for his guests make this an excellent and highly recommended place to stay.

This could not be a better place to stay. The owners are so helpful and welcoming. The style and design of the B&B is modern, and the facilities excellent. Breakfast is a real delight with a wide variety of breads, meats, jams and juices and the coffee is exceptional. Location is good with the Ramparts (City Walls) just outside allowing a really pleasant walk around the city. We stayed in October and were able to park our car at no charge in the streets nearby. The centre of town is 0.7 kms along a direct route.

A lovely welcome from Veronique and Michael with a cup of coffee and piece of cake on arrival. The B&B is spotless and comfortable. There is an honesty fridge containing drinks in the main part of the house and a kettle in each room. You can help yourselves to tea and coffee from the breakfast room if you want a drink in your room. The breakfasts are good - great local bread, cheese and meat, cereals, fruit and yoghurt plus Veronique will cook eggs and bacon it is one of the best.

We spent 3 nights at B&B Hortensia and were made to feel very welcome. The location of this B&B is perfect, just a 10 minute walk to the beautiful town square but very close to the Lille bridge outside which cars could be parked freely at all times. We were in a triple room with very good size bathroom and enjoyed a tasty breakfast each morning. It was very convenient for the Menin Gate - moving Last Post Ceremony each night at 8pm (hundreds of people attend so get there early) and also for climbing up to walk around the city walls. Veronique gave us advice about restaurants and tours and could have hired bikes to us. We used this b&b as a base for visiting the surrounding area: there were a number of excellent walks around the battlefields/ cemetries with accompanying video footage (leaflets for North, South and East battlefield walks available at the visitor centre) which helped us envisage the scenes from 100 years before.

This was our second visit and this time we returned with 2 other couples to walk the area. Veronique and Michael were as helpful as ever and showed us walks and maps. They provide 1st class accommodation and a breakfast that sets you up for the day. Nothing is too much trouble and one of our party was able to hire a bike from them too. They offer restaurant recommendations as well as good knowledge of the area and its memorials.

Comfortable, quiet, Veronique is very friendly and it's the best breakfast you will have in Belgium!!! Easy free parking close by and it is in a quiet section of town. New everything, excellent bathroom and beds are comfortable.

My father and I️ stayed here for 2 nights in the basic twin rooms. We each took 1 room that each had 2 twin beds as that was the cheapest available. The rooms were very quiet and had all the basics we needed for our 2 night stay. I️ do not know if they have air conditioning, we visited in the late fall/early winter, and they do have adjustable radiator type heat for the rooms. The beds were basic but comfortable enough. The rooms were very clean. The showers were small but had good hot water pressure. They offer free WiFi, which worked and had good speed. They also offered a nice breakfast buffet with fruit, cheeses, meats, cereal, and a few other baked goods and condiments, and then the owner also cooked eggs and bacon to order at no additional charge. Very tasty! The owner, Veronique, was very friendly, helpful, speaks English, and overall went the extra mile to make our stay nice. This was a great place to stay while touring the world war 1 monuments and museums/tours. It is within about a 20 minute walk to the leper train station, a 3 minute walk to a bus stop ( which connects to the train if you don’t want to walk). It is also about a 10 minute walk to the town square, field museum and st. Martin Cathedral. The only downsides we encountered were the late check in time of 5pm and the payment method. We arrived closer to noon and happened to catch Veronique at home to let us in. We were fortunate she was there and willing to check us in early, but that could be a problem to consider. Also the credit card machine was on the fritz so we had to pay cash for the stay. There is a bank nearby to get cash, but if you aren’t able use foreign banks for cash withdrawals without a steep fee, this is something you should plan for. I️n my opinion the price for the rooms was a bargain considering the location and basic amenities. I️ would definitely stay here again.

B & B Hortensia is definitely the place to stay when visiting the lovely city of Ypres. The location is central to the city square, parking is close by, rooms are comfortable and the owners, Michael and Veronique, are friendly and accommodating. For Australians visiting the battlefields area around Ypres, we highly recommend the Hortensia as an affordable, alternative choice to what can be, impersonal hotel accommodation. We will certainly recommend Hortensia to our friends and hope to return in the future.

Veronique was a superb host. The breakfast was plentiful with the scrambled eggs and bacon absolutely to die for. We were able to have bikes sorted for us which allowed us to cover numerous Ypres Sailent sites.

We stopped here at the end of a 3 week trip from the UK on a motorcycle, via France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany to Colditz and back and so this was our last stop... we really left the best for last! Firstly we were going to stop in Dunkerque as our last place over the water, however after asking the group for THE BIKER GUIDE on facebook for a place to recommend a chap said to stop in Ypres mainly to attend the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing and to stop here at Hortensia as it was a great place with the added bonus of having a garage for the bike. When we got there, we were a little weathered and tired so the lovely welcome from Veronique and Michael , the best coffee I'd had in weeks and a piece of cake on arrival was heaven sent. Modern, spotless and comfortable rooms. Also an honesty fridge containing various drinks in the main house - more people should do this. We could have gone to the supermarket, but didnt bother and just took from the fridge and paid on check out. Great breakfasts, with fresh bread from the local bakers, various cheese, meat, cerials and preserves, along with eggs and bacon, cooked to order. A great find for us to end our trip, ideal for the Menin Gate Memorial (about a 10 minute walk), with the added bonus of garaged parking for our beloved BMW Motorcycle.

myself and 5 friends stayed for 3 nights in this ideally placed, very comfy B&B. the place is spotless and breakfast was delicious with a great spread of jams, breads, cereals etc. This place is amazing value for money and is placed ideally in the centre of Ypres, by the ramparts and cloth hall. Andre was very helpful. he gave us his own map book to follow or war trip with and recommended a great resturant called 'Old Toms', which was fantastic, (we went there all 3 nights) please try the local beer called Yperman as well. we are already planning a return and this would be our Ypres accomadation without a doubt.

Spent three very enjoyable nights last month at BB Hortensia. We arrived quite late in the evening but Veronique was expecting us and at once made us feel at home. Room was quite spacious and very clean. Breakfast was very good and Veronique was always ready to help and provide information about Ypres. I look forward to my next visit to Ypres and to stay at BB Hortensia!

This B and B is literally a 10 minute walk to the main square or the Menin gate. The rooms are very clean nicely decorated and comfortable We enjoyed our breakfast each morning when there was a complete continental buffet and a choice of cooked eggs. Overall a very enjoyable stay .Congratulations to Veronique for being a perfect host

Een kamer voor 2 personen geboekt bij deze B&B vanwege de zeer hoge waarderingen. Ik moet zeggen dat deze zonder meer zijn waargemaakt. Een zeer sfeervolle en schone kamer, een uiterst vriendelijke en spontane gastvrouw. De locatie is perfect, vlak bij de Rijselpoort. Ik heb mijn auto op 10 minuten lopen(langs de vestingwerken, dus geen straf!) gratis kunnen parkeren. Zeker voor mensen die voor de geschiedenis en de vele te bezoeken plekken van de 1e Wereldoorlog naar Ieper komen een aanrader. Een perfecte uitvalsbasis!! Het is een minuut of 10 lopen naar de markt, meer dan acceptabel volgens ons! En dan het zeer uitgebreide ontbijt, allereerst een glas heerlijke verse appelsap! Ik wist niet dat ik dat graag dronk in de ochtend, maar ik kan nu niet meer zonder. Verder een scala aan verse broodjes, yoghurt, vers fruit, beleg etc. En dan de vraag hoe je je eitje hebben wil, Veronique maakt hét perfecte roereitje! Overheerlijk! Daar nog een echt stevige kop koffie bij en voor mij was het ontbijt compleet. Wij hebben het adres in Ieper gevonden, wij denken er niet aan ergens anders te verblijven! Chapeau!! Roel en Ellen

We arrived early in the morning and Veronique was vey welcoming, she provided tea, coffee and a home made cake whilst explaining the best places to park and places to visit. Our bags were taken to our room when we arrived back in the evening. The room was spacious and the breakfast the next morning was excellent. The hotel is convenient for the town centre and an easy stroll in the evening for the Menin gate.

Two middle-aged blokes with three nights away from wives and children had a chance to explore Ypres and the Salient battlefields. Hortensia was the ideal place from which to do this. We were made very welcome by Veronique as soon as we arrived. Despite being at the southern end of the walled city, we were surprised at how quick and easy it was to walk into the Grote Markt and see the main sites from the guest house. The location enabled us to admire the buildings of the city at greater length and to get on to the ramparts as a pleasant alternative to reaching the Menin Gate ceremony. Parking was very simple in streets parallel to Rijselstraat (we never paid for parking once during our stay - excellent country) and easy to drive to and from. Breakfasts were most appreciated, an excellent start to the day. Rooms were clean and convenient and the shower was satisfyingly powerful! Price was well matched to this useful and pleasant holiday venue: I would certainly want to stay here again if I was able to return.

My dad and I stayed in the B&B Hortensia on a recent trip to Ieper (8-12th April 2013) - we had an amazing time. Veronique & Micheal were brilliant hosts from the outset of our stay; they know their stuff too and were very helpful throughout, providing discount passes to WW1 places of interest, maps and restaurant tips. The B&B is great - comfy beds, good showers and decent sized rooms. It has a fantasic location too with free parking spaces just around the corner from the bakery across the road :) The breakfast was excellent - food for every taste, as and much as you could manage. Each morning our preferred hot drink was waiting for us, which I thought was a great personal touch. Veronique also takes an interest in all her guests and keeps upto speed on all the adventures they embark upon daily! Highly recommended to everyone who visits Ieper. We will certainly be staying here again in future visits.

The Hortensia is a pleasant B&B in a handy location on the southern entry to the town. We had two rooms that had recently been repainted and, while they were simply furnished, were warm and comfortable. Breakfast each day was excellent - individally cooked with fresh breads from the bakery down the road. Central Ieper was an easy walk, and the old town walls and moat were nearby. The owners were new and still finding their feet, but were very helpful with suggestions on places to visit etc. The only concern was the noise from traffic on the busy cobblestone street. I think in summer a room facing the street would be a pain, as you would need the window open for ventilation and the coblestones really do make a racket. Apart from that, no complaints, but I think I would look for a place off the main road if I was visiting in summer.

Lovely city. Very comfortable B and B. Wanted to visit Ypres following our holiday in Northern Spain. The B and B is very well situated, it was within easy walking distance of the Menin Gate and other sites of interest in the town. Our room was beautiful and very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. Only drawback was the noise passing cars made on the cobblestones outside. I am sure this would not be a problem in cooler weather with the windows shut.

We were welcomed by our hosts Michael and Veronique to their delightful B&B very near to the centre of Ypres. Very comfortable spacious rooms, awesome breakfast and fabulous location. We would recommend the Horetensia to anybody looking to stay in Ypres.

This was a great place to stay in Ypres. Comfortable room with good working free WiFi internet. Breakfast was great. The B&B is only a 15 minute walk from the main square with Flanders Museum and the Menen Gate where the Last Post sounds every evening at 8:00 PM Big thank you to Veronique for her kindness and cheer.

We stayed here for 2 nights of our trip, and B&B Hortensia is a lovely place to stay. The rooms are simple and the hosts - Veronique and Michael - are very friendly and welcoming. This is an ideal place to stay if you want the centre of Ypres, and i would recommend to anyone. Breakfast has some of the nicest bread around, with a good choice, and they even offer the added bonus of scrambled egg with bacon. It is only about a 15min walk from the main square in Ypres, and easy to find by car. If you plan to stay in Ypres, I have no hesitation in recommending this B&B!

Good value for money B&B. Rooms are nice and comfy. The breakfast was what makes me give it 5 stars. Very fresh and huge choice. The location is not bad either, a 8-10 minute walk from the main square of Ypres.

This is a very comfortable place to stay within easy reach of the centre of Ieper. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to the main square and the Menin Gate. We walked there through the town but you can also walk along the city wall It is just inside the city wall so it is easy to find by car. You need to pay a moderate amount to park in the street outside the Hortensia but there is plenty of free parking nearby; the area felt safe and we had no concerns about leaving our car out in the street. Veronique and Michael are perfect hosts. Veronique gave us coffee and cake on arrival and made us feel very welcome. She also gave us some good information about local restaurants and the Last Post ceremony. The bedrooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. A good selection of breads, pastries, meats, cheeses etc., as well as scrambled eggs and bacon. There is a selection of drinks available in a fridge in the garage. You can help yourself, write what you take in a notebook and settle the cost when you check out. We only stayed here fore one night at the end of a journey back home from Austria to the UK. But we definitely plan to return to Ieper for a longer stay and we will definitely stay at the Hortensia.

Veronique was very welcoming. Responding to a prior email about my arrival time. This was no problem as she gave me instructions on gaining entry on arrival. A couple of mornings I needed to be out early as I had full days planned. This wasn’t a problem and breakfast was placed out early. My room was on the top floor, a twin with adjoining shower/toilet and small dining area. The room was quite hot, though there was a fan, however I must stress that the days I stayed were extremely hot and humid. The streets of Ypres are cobblestone and create quiet a bit of road noise. However this was hardly noticeable. Parking around the hotel is a blue disc area, and in force from 9am until 6pm. A parking disc can be bought for a couple of Euros in the Tourist Information located in the Cloth Hall near the In Flanders Fields Museum. A disc will give you 3 hours of parking in the blue disc areas. Free parking is also a short walk from the hotel. This B&B Hotel makes an excellent base for visiting the WW1 battlefields and cemeteries.

My cousin Jeremy and our wives Carol and Avril stayed here in May when we toured the WW1 battle sites and our Grandad's war grave.Very comfortable accommodation if you don't mind two single beds pushed together, we didn't mind, and brilliant breakfasts. Enjoyed a couple of early morning runs on the road out of town towards "Hell Fire Corner" and back.

We booked two nights here last minute as we were camping in Ypres and got fed up with the rain! We had such a warm welcome and the owners were so polite, friendly and helpful. Our departure was very early and the owner made us a take out breakfast! Really clean and a lovely atmosphere. We hope to return to Ypres and would certainly return to Hortensia.

Bijzonder prettig verblijf gehad in Hortensia.Je wordt erg prettig onthaald en je voelt je geheel vrij om te komen en gaan. De B&B is op 5 minuten lopen van het centrum, dus dat is ideaal. We konden de auto altijd vlakbij kwijt. De kamers zijn brandschoon en je krijgt allerlei informatie over bezienswaardigheden en goede restaurants. Kortom, een absolute aanrader!

The rooms are fairly simple but very clean and comfortable. We were in a room on the top floor at the back and managed to sleep until woken by the Church bells at 8am. Veronique and Michel are very pleasant hosts and you feel that nothing would be too much trouble for them. The breakfast was excellent, with a large choice, including made to order eggs and bacon. The location could not be better as it is just inside the city ramparts through the Lille gate so easy to find and easy to get back onto the main road network. Additionally, there is lots of free parking in the streets surrounding the B&B and it is a pleasant 10 minute walk through either the town or along the ramparts to the Menin Gate.
