The hotel is on a canal. It is 3 minutes from the main square and walking distance to all sights. The staff were very friendly. The hotel is an amalgam of old buildings. We were in the old wing in the Royal Suite. Our room was decorated by my wife's great grandmother. The room had a nice view of the... More

I have to start by saying that I really liked this hotel. It is not your standard fare, very individual and if your used to eurobox style identical rooms, stay somewhere else. Rooms are old fashioned, clean but basic by modern standards. I didnt go to watch tv, listern to an ipod etc, if I had I would have been... More

I checked into the Hotel DieSwaene...and it... More

The hotel staff were fantastic - there was no fault with them and they were very helpful to us and especially with our twin babies. We were well looked after. However we were very disappointed with the condition of the rooms - we paid 235 euros per night - which is a very large amount of money! The first room... More

Friendly, perfectly welcoming ( superb English) olde worlde furniture. A breakfast spread that made me think I was an Austrian prince. Very central. The reception staff accommodated us on several requests without a hesitation , excellent wifi and pool area.

It is an elegant Belgian hotel with complete European touch.We stayed there to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and it turned out to be a perfect one. This place is altogether perfect, be it location, ambiance, staff or facilities...everything on place! The staff took care of all our requirements and they were very friendly. Our room was a combination of... More

The staff at the hotel are very friendly and nice. And the hotel is an ideal location. Perhaps the new annex is better, but I previously read a guide which suggested asking for a room in the old building. Our "suite" was terrible. Whilst the bathroom had been updated, none of the rest of the room had. The room had... More

My husband and I stayed two nights. The positives: good location and friendly service. The negatives: outdated bathrooms, cheap furnishings and stained bedspread and room upholstery. Seems the SLH organization standards have dropped. I imagine for the same price of Die Swaene you can get more value elsewhere. I wish I would have.

I stayed at the Die Swaene over the weekend. The hotel has a nice location along a quiet canal and not far from the city center. It has a lot of character. Our room was on the top floor and very romantic. The staff is very welcoming and attentive. Excellent dinner we had in their restaurant just across. I would... More
