雷闊飯店(Hotel Recour)

Klassiek hotel in het centrum van Poperinge. Kamers liggen verspreid tussen een historisch pand en een recenter gebouw achteraan in de tuin. Verblijf in het historisch karaktervol pand. Zeer ruime kamer met terras. Gelet op historisch karakter van het pand werkt de airco suboptimaal. Goed ontbijt met lokale specialiteiten ( lees, kaas, edm.) dat zowel binnen als op het terras wordt geserveerd. Voldoende parkeergelegenheid (privé en publiek). Restaurant Pegasus in het hotel is ook aan te raden.

We arrived somewhat unexpectedly because our reservation elsewhere was cancelled, but Hotel Recour, ended up being a great hotel is a lovely town.

What a shame. Reviews and photography are good. Reality lets it down. We had a room on the second floor attic. It looked lovely, would have photographed beautifully. Every detail let this room down. Parts of it were dusty. In the mini bar was 4 beers, 3 cokes and a tiny bottle of water. Nowhere to get any more water. Restaurant closed, no one on reception. Water out of the cold tap ran warm and never went cold. There were 3 pods for the coffee maker, no milk. When we arrived we were told not to use the beautiful antique bath but the shower worked. The shower did not work. No water came from it. It had probably not worked for eons on closer inspection. The final indignity came at breakfast when you had to get your own coffee from a coffee maker by pressing a button on the machine. And breakfast was €20 each. Final note - the bathroom was open. Which is fine if you like to watch your partner using the loo from the comfort of your bed. This gets 2 stars only because the bed was comfy. A triumph of style over substance and they wanted €245 for the room! That is a joke

Beautiful property and very kind staff. We absolutely stay here again.

The location of this hotel is great, and we were welcomed very politely by the young man on reception and his younger sister showed us to our room as he had broken his leg so was in plaster! We had booked one of the more expensive rooms in the old building and although the suite was sprawling it was apparent that it could do with a bit of maintenance. The mosaic tiles were starting to come off the shower floor (the shower head and pressure were brilliant) and the jets in the hydro bath didn't work. The breakfast selection was massive, and there was definitely something for everyone. We were offered breakfast on our terrace one morning due to the low occupancy of the hotel (Sunday night), and we had a huge trolley of food brought to us which we thoroughly enjoyed. The location of the hotel allowed us to walk the two minutes into the town square where there are plenty of restaurants to enjoy, if you don't eat at the hotel.

Good although a couple of lights didn’t work and because the restaurant wasn’t open then there were no other facilities

5 star facility.
