The apartment is very spacious and is close to lots of nice things in central Tournai (the train station, river, shops, restaurants, etc.). I especially loved the breakfast, it is a great idea! The hosts give you a few coupons to pick up fresh pastries at a nearby bakery (around 1 minute away).

Tournai appeared to be quiet when we arrived but it really came to life in the evenings. We tried a couple of very good restaurants, one of which we had booked in advance, but many others were fully booked; an indication that they were also good. Several splendid bars with, of course, excellent Belgian beers. We had lunch at some of the restaurants in the main square, again very good but beware of the portion sizes, my wife and I should have shared a meal.

Great little town.
Great little town. Nice square and loads of shops/cafes/bars. Also a lot of small specialised/artisan shops. Easy to navigate with tall landsmarks. Great river walkways.
It felt pretty safe to me.

Lovely town centre.
Lovely town centre. I arrived by train and it was an easy walk to the centre of town and then around the town centre to all the attractions. I stayed only overnight but in two days saw a lot of the historic centre of town, cathedral and churches, bridge and the textile museum. Could have stayed another day. Perfect place for a stopover.

All the attractions mentioned in Lonely Planet for Tournai...
All the attractions mentioned in Lonely Planet for Tournai were good and well worth visiting especially the cathedral and the Grand Place, just a stroll from the appartement. Most surprising though was the tapestry museum TAMAT which exceeded our expectations. A pity the belfry was closed for renovation.

Very interesting historical town with lots to see.
Very interesting historical town with lots to see. Good variety of shops. Museums and art gallery. Compact enough to walk everywhere. Train station with regular frequent services to all parts of Belgium and beyond.The only problems were that most of the Cathedral is closed for major renovations for the foreseeable future.Similarly the main square in front of the railway station including all the car parking is closed for refurbishment. Be careful where you park. I got a ticket one day because I misread the restrictions.

A hidden Belgian gem,however, a place very often omitted by tourists, alas. And it is a really interesting, historical site, with a magnificent cathedral, bell-tower, cosy streets and squares, several interesting museums (the Folklore Museum is simply amazing) and full of restaurants and bars. Come on the second Sunday of September - it is a day of a religious procession and many other celebrations in the city.
Nice roomy comfortable apartment close to all that Tournai has to offer. Apartment was equipped with all that you need for a short stay in this lovely old cathedral town. There were info leaflets left on the table to help out with the many things to do in and around the town and also a car parking disc. We walked everywhere as most things were close by, including the cathedral and famous old belfry. There is also a small bakery around the corner from fresh bread and croissants.
Information was provided by text on how to access the keys. In French and in English! So, all very clear and easy instructions to follow.
Kitchen was well equipped and stocked with basic commodities: coffee filters, coffee, tea, butter, jams, milk sugar, … but also, pepper, salt, oil, vinegar.
Regular check-ins to see if there was something we needed.
Central location in Tournai, nothing in the city is far away.
Lovely little house in a quiet village with an excellent bedroom/ living room with a comfortable sofa, spacious bathroom with plenty of towels and well-equipped kitchen/ diner. Off-road parking on the drive and a nice garden/ patio, which we unfortunately didn't get to use due to the weather. Tournai is very close and well-worth a visit. We wished we could have stayed for longer.
Very friendly and helpful owner and staff, great location just minutes walk from the centre of town, good breakfast. The rooms are themed, along musical/cultural/artistic lines. We stayed in "Van Gogh" (twice actually) and its well done. On the Belgium/France border with that mix of culture, and spitting distance from the Calais terminals.
What a great experience! I all fairness the location and the outside of the building made us fear for our stay a little. But what a gem of a hotel. Great communication before arrival, super friendly, well equipped and quiet room although we were in the front. And what a fabulous breakfast!! Well above and beyond our expectations!!
Hotel is in dreadful condition, run down & dirty. It has a good location but be aware that there is a biker bar literally in front of hotel blasting heavy metal music half the night. Lady at front desk very helpful but there is only so much she could do. Broken shower, no WiFi in room, filthy rug, jammed smoke detector.
There are numerous things i can say about this property but the highlights are , place is very clean, it is in the middle of the centre you can walk to about anything and it is quiet enough to offer tranquility, it apartments are equipped with everything you would need, kitchen stuff, bathroom supplies, linens.. Etc
Room was perfect, welcome snack was an excellent and copious greek mezze, water and white wine complementary in the refrigerator, breakfast served in the room was excellent with a lot of choices including baked eggs. Staff is super friendly and wants to make your stay perfect. walking distance from the centre.
We had an extremely pleasant one-night stay. The owner was very friendly (both to us and our two dogs). The rooms are quirky and comfortable, and the accommodation is located in a nice neighbourhood just a short walk to the city centre. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Tournai!
The apartment is very spacious and is close to lots of nice things in central Tournai (the train station, river, shops, restaurants, etc.). I especially loved the breakfast, it is a great idea! The hosts give you a few coupons to pick up fresh pastries at a nearby bakery (around 1 minute away).
The hotel was cozy and had a nice ambiance… there was lots of movement to make you feel at home, but then the rooms are quite private and separated. I really appreciated the open coffee/tea and water fountain. It was a small touch that should be everywhere! Also nice location and nice staff.
Nice appartement, we liked the way it was decorated, the style and the fournitures they used. There are some free parking spots not far and from there you can reach the centre within minutes. The host was helpful.
The hotel staff are wonderfully helpful, and the hotel is very near the cathedral and the museums. The hotel was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions, and the breakfast was much better than expected.
The apartment was spacious, comfortable and very conveniently located between the station and the centre. Everything could be reached easily by foot. Hosts were quick to respond to messages.
I liked the bike storage, it provided some extra safety for our bicycles. The breakfast was okay, not bad. Also the location of the hotel was good, it was easy to walk to the city centre.
It's walkable to the town centre. Quiet. Kitchen appliances fine (microwave, hob, fridge, kettle). Huge Netflix television with comfortable sofa. Plenty of hot water. The wifi is fine.
Breakfast is very good and complete.
Personnel is professional and supportive.
My room was very clean.
Hotel location is next to city center (bars, restaurants, etc.)
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was basic, but had all we needed: a bed and a clean bathroom. Paid parking right in front of the hotel on the square.
