Very nice stay with kids, only for two nights, end of August. Great location Big and clean room, very good matelasses and pillows :), good breakfast and very friendly and listening staff, dispite the ridiculos anti-covid measures; they did not know what to do so that everybody feels safe and that they do not get any collabo complaint. A place where we will return with pleasure!

The hotel is located directly on the seafront with lovely views. This modern hotel was cosy, clean and tastefully decorated - rooms were lovely. We stayed during the winter so the room took a long while to heat but otherwise the decor was bright and airy. The breakfast selection was also really good with seating opposite the beach. The hotel is conveniently located with just a few minutes walk to the shopping streets and 12-15 minute walk to the station with connections to Bruge, Brussels etc. Would definitely consider staying again if we return to Blankenberge.

“great location, not eco friendly, problems with wifi”

We had a great stay at C-Hotel Helios. Thank you Pros: - the location is ideal - right on the sea front - we had room 93 and the view was amazing - the hotel was clean, and the decoration was minimalist and classy, which we like - they accommodated our bike parking in the garage - good selection and quality breakfast Cons: - the wifi often didn't work. we were connected to the router, but there was no internet - although the view was great, our room was very noisy. every morning from about 7 we were woken up by water running, presumably other people showering and the pipes making lots of noise. - very wasteful - lots of single use items. cups and tiny toiletries in the bathrooms (why not switch to reusable cups and large dispensers like the shampoo in the shower); single use place mats at breakfast (why not just eat on the tables, they get wiped anyway); loads of sachets and individually wrapped portions at breakfast (why not offer it in larger containers, like the jam) - We didn't want any room service, told the cleaners that every day, and they still kept trying to force a bag of stuff on us each morning (see photos). We try to conserve resources, so reuse our towels and don't use all the single-use items in the room - so we don't want more forced on us!

“Sea View Superior Room - Average”

I am not sure what to say. Ours was a mixed experience. Room 42 on the 4th floor. This is a sea view superior room. Goods - 1. Perfect Location. 2. Perfect Sear View. 3. Clean rooms 4. The temperature in the room can be controlled. 5. The garage can be booked in advance for 20€ a day. Undergro... more

I am not sure what to say. Ours was a mixed experience. Room 42 on the 4th floor. This is a sea view superior room. Goods - 1. Perfect Location. 2. Perfect Sear View. 3. Clean rooms 4. The temperature in the room can be controlled. 5. The garage can be booked in advance for 20€ a day. Underground and peaceful. 6. The breakfast hygiene condition is absolutely fabulous. Average - 1. Garage - The entry and exit are tight but a good driver can manage. BMW 3er estate and saloon, Dacia Duster is possible to go in. Not sure if BMW X3-5 can enter and exit (a little tight). 2. Most hotels now would have a hand soap dispenser at the washbasin exactly similar to the one in the shower. This is missing and small soaps are provided to wash your hands which is the previous generation. Please update it. Bads - 1. Noise insulation not present. You can hear noises from other rooms and the corridor. 2. Not big enough. Just average space. 3. Why did we not have a balcony when I think all the other rooms have it? 4. Poor wifi. No signals. Had to use my mobile data.
