ZILTE STILTE

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We spent a few nights at Zilte Stilte in Ostend and would happily return. As frequent travellers, we usually look for four things: cleanliness, comfort, location, and value for money — and this apartment scores highly on all of them. The apartment feels much more thoughtfully equipped than most holiday rentals. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the little extras made a real difference. Free parking right in front of the building was a huge bonus, especially in a coastal city where parking can be difficult. The Wi-Fi was excellent, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax after a day exploring the coast. We travelled with a dog and were pleasantly surprised by how pet-friendly everything was. Unlike many holiday rentals where pets are simply allowed, here they are genuinely welcomed. The hosts provide dog bowls, treats, a comfortable dog bed, a leash, and even a dog backpack/carrier for smaller dogs. The complimentary dog biscuits were a lovely touch and immediately made our furry companion feel at home. The location is convenient: the beach, shops, public transport, and the city centre are all within easy reach. What stood out most was the value for money. The apartment offers many amenities typically found in more expensive accommodations, yet remains affordable. It's easy to see why guests speak so highly of their stay here. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-equipped, pet-friendly base to explore Ostend, Zilte Stilte is an excellent choice. We would definitely stay again.

Honestly, nothing!

Prachtig en lichtrijk appartement. Het grote bed en het linnen waren zeer proper en verzorgd. Aan alles is gedacht: van flesjes water naast het bed tot oordopjes. Ook de communicatie verliep zeer vlot.

Niets eigenlijk!

This apartment is truly superb. It stands out in every aspect — from cleanliness to communication and amenities. It is very well equipped and even offers free parking, which is quite rare in Ostend. The beach is only a 10-minute walk away, and the apartment also provides drinks, wine, and snacks, which is a lovely extra touch. The king-size bed was perfect for us as an older couple, and the neighbourhood is very quiet and peaceful. Having parking right in front of the door was also a big plus. For this price, it offers excellent value. Keep up the great work, we will definitely be back soon!

Honestly? Nothing!

The kitchen is very well equipped, convenient, and functional. The living area is cozy, with a comfortable table for breakfast or dinner. The mattress in the bedroom is comfortable. It is also very convenient when traveling with a dog – there is a dog bed, bowls, and even treats provided. The WiFi worked well throughout our stay.

Unfortunately, the apartment was not clean upon arrival. The cleaning seemed rather superficial, with a lot of dust in many places, even on decorative items. The bathrobes were dirty. The duvet in the bedroom had stains, and the pillows were in very poor condition and not suitable for use. Sound insulation is quite limited – noise from the bathroom is clearly audible. The bed linen offered for an additional fee (€35) did not feel very new or comfortable, so we were glad we brought our own. The towels in the bathroom did not dry properly and remained damp. The surrounding area was not very pleasant, and the walk to the sea takes around 20 minutes.
