We stayed at Hotel Monarc at the end of October 2025 and were impressed by its calm atmosphere, personal service, and prime location just steps from the beach and promenade. The booking process was professional, with a personalised reply from the team. On arrival, parking was straightforward, and check-in was handled directly by the owner in an efficient way. Our room felt bright and comfortable, with a good bed and quality lighting, though the curtains let in some morning light. The bathroom was excellent — spacious, spotless, and equipped with Rituals toiletries, good towels, and a rain shower. The breakfast was one of the highlights: a beautifully presented buffet with fresh orange juice, a smoothie, Moroccan tea, and a wide selection of products. The cosy room and attentive service made it a perfect start to the day. Hotel Monarc combines design, comfort, and hospitality in the heart of Ostend. The great room, the personal approach and top breakfast make it a hotel we would gladly return to.

Don't understand the positive reviews about this hotel. The building is falling apart dangerous cracked part of wall next to entry stairs, no stair rail very steep stair case, passage lights only one of 3 working, block bathroom basin for whole 4 nights stay, broken bedlamps and was bitten by insect in the room. First morning breakfast was fabulous, hotel fully booked, but after that it appears the left overs were cut into bite size pieces after the most guests checked out. 2nd morning tea kettle boiling water cold. Seems the hotel is struggling on a very tight budget and trying to save by not doing repairs cutting back on the very expensive €25 breakfast and electicity by not boiling the kettle and keeping it warm and not lighting all the lights in the passage to the rooms Price advertised for 4 nights £398 including fees and taxes but when booked actually £10.05 more which they tried to justify with taxes and fees which the ad said was already in. Location is almost on the beach but more than a mile away from the CBD. Terrible hotel, best avoid!

As numerous others have mentioned, the hotel is still being worked on. The bar area, which doubles up as a reception is lovely. Nice seats and a good number of different drinks behind the bar. Staff were polite and welcoming. The rooms were nice and modern - they had clearly been refurbished. Bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was good. No tea and coffee, which was frustrating. Breakfast was average - nothing to write home about. It is in the basement which is a bit dreary. The location is good. Not on the beach, but very close. The building itself was a bit dull and dim. I suspect it will look a lot better once the renovations are done. I would be tempted to give this hotel another chance once the renovations are complete.

I can only recommend this hotel. The owner is incredibly kind and very caring. The hotel is very nice, the rooms are up to 4 *. We chose this hotel to get away from business and enjoy the sea. The bet was successful, we will definitely return to the Monarc hotel.

This hotel is a gem. Stylishly decorated, well located, nice rooms with all facilities and a complete and tasty breakfast. The staff is friendly, although the owner is a bit of a strange man who doesn't really make you feel at ease. Otherwise, this is recommended in all respects.

Breakfast was very satisfying, good value for money.
