What an amazing find - Ypres was always a pleasurable place to visit but now i have found this superb hotel, it is now just so much better. Elodie was a superb host and made the stay even more memorable. Nothing was too much and i thank you again for your thorough and pleasant manner.

Great quaint stay. Superb hostess
Unbelievable, dedicated and passionate hotel lady, Eloodie ( I hope Not to screw up the spelling) is just the best. Assisted with directions, suggestions offered lovely hospitality drink. This you would think is more than enough but you get up for breakfast and you find she has a whole other level. Belgium waffles, cooked eggs etc, the cereal selection, the fresh fruit I can go on. She is a good promoter of local beers, reastaurants and delicacies. The only slight I would mention we like a little firmer bed & the a/c was working hard with 35 degree temps. That said we had a great sleep somaybe the bed was not such an issue. Ypres may be off the beaten path, but it is definitely a place we will make an effort to enjoy again. Just a great stay and the biggest part was Eloodie.

Exquisite little boutique hotel 5*'s
Amazing boutique hotel, a stones throw from centre of town and the Menin Gateect. Elodie the owner was a delight, and the service was fantastic. Her breakfasts are wonderful, do try the eggs with truffle! The rooms a a bit special, decorated to a high standard, and every comfort is afforded, including tea/coffee/wine and a mini bar all complementary. The beds were so comfy, I could have stayed there all day, but if you do venture out, then town is just a short walk away. If small hotels had stars, then this would be a five. Only one caution (for info) there is no lift, so if you have any medical issues or problems with stairs, you might want to go for a ground floor room.

Super quiet hotel. easy to walk to town center.
Our visit to Ypres was very special as we were visiting the grave of my Great Uncle, who died 100 years ago on the 22nd October 1917. Also laid flowers during the ceremony at the Menin Gate in the evening. A very friendly caring town.

This was quite simply one of the best hotel experiences ever. The welcome, the decor, the food - all excellent. Wait there's more the owner stocks the mini and it's all free (already included in the price). So we finished each hard day exploring with a perfect Trappist night cap.

The Only Place to Stay in Ypres
My only regret about our stay here was that we were only staying one night. Within minutes of arriving I wanted to stay longer. Probably the best hotel I have ever stayed for the whole experience. It's not cheap so the average holiday maker may not stay here but as with all things life you get what you pay for and this was worth every penny.

Stayed for two nights at The Main Street Hotel wished it could have been for longer! Beautiful room, beautiful bathroom a free mini bar and lots of other little extras (crisps, chocolate, lovely coffee maker and products in the bathroom too) Amazing breakfasts, anything you could wish for and such wonderful hospitality! We were also greeted with a drink and a chat about Ipres and the surrounding area which was so helpful when we arrived. Very close to the town centre and fantastic museum which was very interesting. Would stay there again for sure!

Exceptional small boutique hotel.
Nothing is too much trouble. Small exceptional boutique hotel near the middle of Ypres. The bedrooms are all too a very high standard and all so different.. Interestingly and individually furnished. Breakfast is fantastic.. How about peppered poached eggs on a base of toasted breadcrumbs? Lots of fruit. Home baked bread. The choice is exceptional for a small hotel. Is you are visiting Ypres, then Main Street should be your choice.

Lovely little privately run quiet hotel.
A stunning 6 room hotel Privately run by Corrine and her husband. They could not do enough for us, a nice welcoming chat and a drink and an introduction to the local area. Rooms are stunning and fully loaded, including a free mini bar in the room, fully stocked. Rooms are immaculately presented with stunning design and a very high standard personal touch. Breakfast is great, each one prepared just as you like it, you can have anything you want. Corrine even went out of her way and arranged a private guided tour of Ypres fields and memorial locations for my wife and I. The guided tour was fantastic and totally opened our eyes to just what went on in Ypres during the Great War. All in, I would fully recommend this hotel to anyone, a bit pricey but worth every penny.

Wonderful stay!
I travel frequently for both business and pleasure and would rate this hotel as one of the best of its class. Our hostess, Carine, did everything humanly possible to make our stay pleasant -- even calling me proactively when I was having trouble making a connection to the hotel on my mobile phone. The room was charming and comfortable (cozy and quiet on a chilly December day). Excellent breakfast options included. It is not as close to the main square as some other options, but we were happy to make the 10-minute walk given the overall quality of our experience.

Superb Stay
Marvelously equipped and decorated small hotel. Very gracious hostess and superb breakfasts prepared by her and her husband with local items and several hom made items. Just minutes on foot to all of the sights of Ypres. The ambience of the place encourages meeting others if you want to do so. Our hostess worked hard in advance to secure a very good guide to the Ypres battlefields.

Enchanting hotel
We picked this hotel due to its high Expedia rating and were delighted to find that it lived up to our expectations. Everything about it spoke of an attention to detail that was well above average - for example, the English books on the bookshelves, or the small covered pot in the bedroom that proved to hold two heart shaped chocolates, or the better-than-average range of free toiletries in the bathroom (which itself had a double bath with fitted flat screen TV in the wall above and in addition to that one of the best showers I have ever had). Breakfast was again well above average - for example, the fruit salad was served with hot rice pudding and was delicious, and the cooked breakfast was more unusual things like Black Pudding Sausage with fried apples and onions, or Spinach on a toasted crumb base with a poached egg on top.
