Belgian Battlefields
... another township we could not drive through as the main road was being reconstructed. This has happened to us three times in the last two days and makes things very difficult when you have no idea where detours are taking you and the Sat Nav lady is telling you to "turn right" into a road that is well and truly blocked! As a consequence of one such detour we stumbled across a major Belgian Cemetery near Houthulst - I had wanted to visit here but had given up hope as it was well ...

... with the fishermen and enjoy a glorious evening.
Guy is a local who has been a penfriend of my mate in Oz for over 10 years. They have never met but each have been promising the other to visit the respective countries... yeah one day.
Guy was a fount of all knowledge about the history and the current social situation in Belgium. We had a great long chat over dinner comparing customs and politics.

From "Flander's fields" to Westvleteren
... Johanes appeared and was kind enough to offer me a place to sleep. They gave me shelter, water, food, and a place to meditate. He was hard-working and very busy, but Father Johanes still made time to talk with me. The monastery is beautiful and meticulously maintained. I consider myself lucky to have met these gracious men, and I appreciate all that they do. I went to a nice catholic mass on Sunday held by the monks and embarked shortly ...
Day 79 - Ypres
It really seems there is no limits to the amount of War related sight seeing that Mike can handle. The rest of us on the other hand were totally warred-out by the end of the day. It has been amazing to be here, and have the opportunity to respectfully remember, but it would take days and days to visit all the military cemeteries and memorials. Which is a sobering thought in itself, as that alone makes you realise the scale of the waste of ...
In the footsteps of the brave: Ypres to Fromelles
... Korean and Vietnam wars combined. Many of the wounded lay in no-man’s land shouting to their pals in the trenches. Many died of their wounds awaiting help, the fighting so fierce that they lay where they died until after Armistice over 2 years later. A few hundred metres up the road is a statue entitled 'Cobbers’, showing a digger carrying a comrade over his shoulder to safety. This commemorates the acts of bravery shown by regular men, putting themselves at ...

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Ariane Ypres
Average
Less than 5 minutes walk to the main square, the hotel is in a good, quiet location. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was pretty good. However, the hotel itself is pretty bland and reminded me of a conference facility. We also were put off by the war memorabilia in the reception as it would have been nice to escape this given what the whole town represents. Not sure what justifies the 4 stars and thought it a bit pricey for what it is.
Friendly helpful staff
We had to cut our holiday short at the hotel, but I wish we could have stayed as intended as it was a really relaxing hotel and I cannot fault the staff. They were even prepared to drive us to the station to go to Brussels!
We did the Flanders fields tour and even my husband was moved even though he did not know much before we went, we learnt so much from Dave, our driver. Thank you Dave!
We intend to go back as Ypres is a beautiful place and considering what happened it has emerged stronger for its experience.
Great hotel, great welcome, great location!
This hotel is about five minutes from the centre of Ypres, has good parking and spacious rooms which are clean and contain coffee/tea making facilites ( a novelty abroad!). The staff could not have been more helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and varied. They also have a spa room which you can book for your own private use (20 euros/hour)- sauna, jacuzzi, massage shower. We ate in the hotel twice- take the 20 Euro menu- it is very good althiough has no choice, but includes 2 glasses of wine and water- very good value- and the restaurant surroundings are beautiful. We will go again here, and recommend it, particurly for couples and groups.
First rate hotel
Very clean and airy modern hotel with on-site parking, attractive gardens, etc, almost in the centre of Ieper.
Service was helpful and efficient - the staff all spoke good English.
The clientelle were mostly British, and in the main World War One enthusiasts. The hotel has a small display of WW1 artefacts and posters in the public area.
The rooms were clean and well sized, with a separate shower and bath. The bar area was light and welcoming.
We would visit again
Great place to stay
Just back from our third stay at the Ariane. The hotel cannot be faulted. Good location - a few minutes walk from the Grote Markt. Excellent buffet breakfast (Flemish style).
The staff cannot do enough for you.
I wouldnt stay anywhere else in Ieper. Try and get a room in the new extension - for a little more space (but no problem if you can't)
Fantastic Hotel Ariane
We have just returned from staying at the Ariane, as yet again it was like home from home. Superb accommodation as is the breakfast and staff. Highly recommended.
Great location, service & kitchen!
We made a tour through Flanders to visit everything WWI-related. We stayed at the Ariane & it was one of our favourite places. They have great accomodation (the sauna!) & a very good restaurant with cheaper prices then you can find downtown Ypres. We also made the Battlefield-tour organised by them, & just like all the people that work there it was only fun & relaxing. The waiters & hotelstaff were the friendliest we encountered in this otherwise allready very friendly country.
Two thumbs up (three if we had an extra one ;).
We Loved The Hotel Ariane
12 of us stayed at the Hotel Ariane, Leper, Belgium.We were on a four day Golfing Holiday.
The Hotel could not be faulted, the food ,the staff, the accommodation, the service was all first class. The Hotel is situated three minutes walk from the Square and four minutes fron The Menen Gate. We are certainly going to stay there again in the future.

Homely and comfortable
Myself and four members of my family stayed here on 4th June 2004. We arrived very early in the morning, 6 AM to be precise! We were given Coffee by the Night Porter, and on the arrival of the Receptionist, ushered into Breakfast! which was outstanding!
We were given access to our rooms at just after 9 AM after the Hotel Receptionist had arranged for them to be cleaned and valeted early, especially for us. The rooms are clean, bright and very comfortable. Breakfast superb, and the evening meal delicious! The Staff friendly, courteous and helpful. We will return!
Warm and personal
We stayed at Hotel Ariane during a winter tour of World War I battlefields on the Western Front. We received a warm welcome and the service was excellent. The breakfast was out of this world and dinner also very enjoyable. The management seemed to genuinely care about the guests. We would highly recommend the Ariane.
