The Scorer Posted 22 July , 2013 Share Posted 22 July , 2013 I'm going on a battlefield tour next week, and I'm looking for information on two of the hotels that the tour will be staying at. So, does anyone know anything about the Van der Valk Hotel, Brussels Airport and the Ibis St Omer Centre Hotel, please? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit far from the action so I guess you have an early or late flight. I never stayed at Van der Valk. As for Ibis St Omer all Ibis are identical so it will be the same as Ibis I stayed in Portsmouth!

I never stayed at Van der Valk. As for Ibis St Omer all Ibis are identical so it will be the same as Ibis I stayed in Portsmouth! Thanks - it's the hotel en-route from the ferry to the Netherlands, but it looks okay (in fact, pretty good!) from their web site. Regarding the Ibis, I've stayed in quite a few of the chain in various places, and they are much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmac Posted 19 September , 2013 Share Posted 19 September , 2013 Should mention this place as we stayed in it week before last on the way to the Somme. So a staging post, perhaps. It is just north of the main road between Hesdin and St Pol. About an hour from the Tunnel. Not cheap I will admit and we spoiled ourselves by booking what turned out to be the largest bedroom I have ever stayed in (25 m. long). There is a restaurant which is pretty decent too. Place is called La Cour de Remi and is in a little village called Bermicourt. The rooms/restaurant are in two barn conversions next to the main chateau. A good place to treat a partner who is otherwise not too bothered about WW1 sites. The main chateau is of interest as it was the HQ of the Tank Corps 1916-18 and there is a small bronze replica tank with a plaque out in the car park. The owners live in the chateau and it is not open to the public. Excellent English spoken. Details here: http://www.lacourderemi.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horrocks Posted 29 October , 2013 Share Posted 29 October , 2013 A suggestion that may have already been made, but would it be possible for this to be split into separate threads which serve the respective 'regions' of The Western Front? At the moment it is very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scorer Posted 1 November , 2013 Share Posted 1 November , 2013 I stayed in the Best Western Hotel Alize in Mouscron over the weekend a couple of weeks ago. It's fairly standard, but clean, comfortable and well placed - just off the Grand Place. I have no idea what it costs for an ordinary visitor, as I was part of a tour, but I would guess that it's pretty reasonable. I ate in a small Italian restuarant a few doors away from the hotel called "La Dolce Vita", which is just off the Grand Place. It's a nice place, two courses for about 20 euros, a good welcome - I went there twice, so it must be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
