World War I Site Hotel
by jay31pee about Ambrosia Hotel
I had a very nice stay in Ambrosia Hotel. Their staffs are friendly, facilities and rooms are great. They also serve delicious cooked breakfast.
It is located near the Cloth Hall and the Menin Gate and other tourist spots in Ieper. So if you are to visit World War I sites in Ieper, you better stay in one of the most reviewed Ypres hotels, the Ambrosia Hotel. Aside from accommodation and breakfast, they also offer bicycles and vespa that you can use while wandering around the city.
A really good hotel
by TripAdvisor Member Tim04
Our stay at the Hotel Ariane was excellent. It is a mid-sized, family-run establishment, in a good, central location. Everything, from our first email contact to checkout, was very good.
We booked a family room, which was very clean and plenty big-enough for the four of us. The hotel also has its own parking. The breakfast was excellent, as was the overall service and friendliness.
Ypres itself is very well worth a visit. The town is interesting and attractive, and the sights, such as the Menin Gate, are moving and thought-provoking.
Our Helmet takes pride of Place

Following a disasterous stay at another Hotel in the town we happened to come across the Hotel Ariane and have returned ever since
The hotel is modern in decor the rooms are comfortable and the staff are friendly and attentive
Breakfast is superb
If you require Goumet food the restauraunt is excellant
As for the Bar what can I say a fine selection of beers wines and spirits
Contact by e-mail, fax and telphone is fast, friendly and efficiant
And even if we find we are not staying at the hotel due to past custom the welcome is always friendly
The hotel is away from the town centre but the location is quiet which aids restful sleep
You can see why the Ariane is popular with tour parties visting the Ieper /Ypres salient and has a small but very interesting display of World War One artifacts
Of course our Police helmet takes pride of place at reception
Cannot recommend thie Ariane enough

Family hotel with a touch of class and outstanding restaurant
by TripAdvisor Member ffnoddy
We booked this hotel to round off a trip to Italy (yep we'd driven the 2700 miles to get there and back !) after checking out the hotel website and booking by e-mail.
I wasn't going to bother writing a review for The Ariane as all previous reviews had pretty much summed up this brilliantly run family hotel.
If you picture family run hotels as I do & conjure up visions of Basil and Fawlty Towers, you will be sorely mistaken if you picture this outstanding hotel in the same category.
The hotel is a quick step to the square and just a ten minute walk (if that) to the Menin Gate. A large, free car park is a welcome sight after such a long drive as was the very friendly welcome we received at reception.
The hotel is just coming to end of a refurbishment programme, the stairs were being completed just as we left, and a great job they've done too.
The hotel is decorated to a very high standard & quite contemporary. The double room was very spacious with the all important tea-makings that my wife always craves ! A spacious and very clean bathroom was welcomed with equal enthusiasm due to the presence of the massive bath.
The large bar and restaurant area is excellent, stretching out into a large conservatory and garden. We ate in the restaurant one evening and can quite honestly say that it was probably the best meal we had in two weeks ..... and for a lover of Italian food, this is going some ! Perfectly cooked, excitedly and hungrily consumed and complimented by excellent unhurried service from Annalise ....... I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it.
The breakfast room is in the same vain, very large, well attended and well serviced.
We did have another very good hotel in mind for this trip that I'd visited previously in Ypres, however it was fully booked. I'm glad it was ............. stay at the Ariane, but not if it's the last room available & I'm planing on going. Be warned and enjoy !!
Great value...can't fault it.

We stayed for a night on a motorcycle trip. Very friendly and helpful reception from the time of booking - even asked if we wanted to park our bikes in the garage! Superb rooms, very clean and well equipped. Nice and quiet in a good central location for all the sights.
Not sure about the evening food as we didn't eat there, but my personal experience generally of Belgian food isn't that good....sorry if this is a generalisation but we'd just come from a place in an adjoining country with loads of fresh seafood.....! However, breakfast was fantastic with loads of good quality cold meats and cheese, breads etc.
From what we saw of Ieper this has to be the best place to stay.

In my view the best hotel in Ypres. Clean sizeable rooms with all facilities, friendly helpful staff throughout, excellent bar and terrace with good garden, and a fantastic restaurant.

Hotel Ariane is within your budget and they have a website. The Novotel is dood too and sometimes do 3 nights for the price of 2. Smaller hotels and cheaper are the Old Tom or The Sultan but I would go for the Ariane.

you can find also a very good accomodation in Novotel, very near the center of Ieper.
