Elckerlyck Inn Hotel

“We liked the rural location, which we chose over central Kortrijk (we were there for a musical event in Harelbeke, which has *no hotels!). Quiet, clean, uncrowded, peaceful, in the beautiful farm country, where we got a long walk among the fields and farms one morning, and also visited the small Centrum. The room was nice, just big enough, the bed comfortable, the bathroom nice, including the skylight. The food at the little restaurant was great! We really loved the breakfasts, varied and generous, good coffee, and our host, Guido, was the soul of hospitality, like a true Host from a bygone era, an interesting man with ready conversation and very good English! He filled us in on a lot of local lore and the story of his Inn, and took an interest in the Harelbeke musical competition we were participating in. And he picked us up at the train station when we arrived. Dinner was generous Belgian portions and delicious, with fresh (local?) mussels and sole in (much) butter and perfectly cooked vegetables. Room cleaning was good and prompt, and there was (apparently gratis) beer in the fridge!”

“Very friendly landlord, nice and very comfortable room, very clean. Great stay.”

“The owner is very nice. Location is very good. Only take 10 mins to the Expo.”

“Rustic style rooms not to everyone’s taste but comfortable and everything worked fine. If you want a glass and chrome bed box this is not for you. We even had a cassette player in our room (don’t forget to bring your cassettes)! The family are brilliant and the owner takes huge pride in his cooking (with good reason) so the little restaurant is highly recommended. Hotel is in a residential area so very quiet and locals are there for a drink (and a dance in one case). Thank you for looking after us so well.”

“The food at the hotel was fantastic. Very friendly owner and staff excellent.”
