Hotel Ter Driezen

Cute little family-run business in Turnhout. The inn itself was fine—the rooms were relatively large, with a good-sized and comfortable bed as well as a desk for work; the wifi signal was powerful and fast; and the morning breakfast was thoughtful and complete. The rooms did have weird quirks, though: bathroom toilet that was situated in what appeared to be a closet; open shower that radiated water everywhere on the bathroom floor without trying; lack of hooks for towels near the shower area. But what made this a good stay overall were the hosts, who were super-accommodating and pleasant even when things went wrong. In my situation, the shower in the room did not have hot water and their attempts to fix it the following day did not solve the issue. No worries, they allowed me to move into another room, and it was seamless and easy. The host was also very kind to make me a croque when I arrived late on a weekday evening, since all the other options in town had already closed for the night. I should note that the room in the garden was much more quiet which was great; the room along the street got a little bit of evening noise from revelers. There was also a slight smell of cigarette smoke throughout the main house. Added bonus to have an elevator in the main house which helped get to the top floor easily. Breakfast was fairly complete with hot and cold options, and the dining area was tasteful. Hotel is situated right near one town square which was convenient for finding a dinner restaurant option.

I spent 4 nights at Ter Driezen in February 2023 while traveling for work and very much enjoyed my experience. My room was spacious, located in the back garden area, Wi-Fi was strong, and the overall location was ideal. Breakfast was included every morning in a lovely room with a spread of fruits, breads and jam, yogurt, juice (and they offered to make bacon and eggs upon request too). The owners were extremely helpful and friendly as well! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay near Turnhout.
