B&B Cambiare

Location

Atmosphere was nice and personell was soo helpful. We had a great breakfast. Finally that long, red pillow 😉

Ik heb geen enkele negatieve opmerking over Cambiare, integendeel! Een fijne locatie om te overnachten: een mooi en rustig pand, goed gelegen (nabij het station, wat voor mij heel belangrijk is), zeer vriendelijke mensen, rijkelijk ontbijt met een gezellige en interessante babbel met Koen. Als ik naar Eeklo trek, is Cambiare voor mij 'the place to be', en ik raad het iedereen aan.

We stayed for one night. B&B is in a quiet narrow street very close to the Centre. Breakfast was super. The host very kind and helpful. We mentioned the squeaky bed in the morning. He had already somebody round to fix it, but will now repeat that. Since it is an old town house it has steep stairs. The bathroom is very spacious. You can parc your car on a square around the corner, but better not on Saturday evenings, since there is a market going on on Sundays.

When we arrived, the only sign on the door was in Flemish. After using google translate, we tried all 3 bells as instructed but got no answer. We had to look up on Expedia to find the telephone number. The owner answered, and said a neighbour would be along shortly to let us in. He hung up on me whilst i was asking about the promised parking. The neighbour was pleasant but spoke only Flemish- i speak English, French, German, italian and Danish- so communication was hard. I had chosen this b&b partly because it claimed to have free parking, as my husband is disabled. It does not have any parking of its own. There is free on-street parking if you can find it: it took us 50 minutes of driving around to find a space, and then walking back with my disabled husband, for whom walking is painful. The room was okay, but the bath mat was dirty. The bed was okay, and the shower was good. I had booked for 2 adults but there was only one mug for coffee, one glass, one set of towels. Instant wins: don't promise parking you don't have, please have signs in multiple languages on the door with clear instructions if no-one is on-site, please clean everything with which guests will have direct bodily contact, and please leave two glasses and cups etc when the booking is for two people. Thank you.

Beautiful room in an art nouveau house from 1910. Excellent breakfast, fresh pastries, charcuterie, cheeses, omelette, home made jams, yoghurt, as well as tea and coffee available in the room. Hosts were friendly and welcoming.

Some smoking from a guest in the house, which I had to ask the owner to address and was taken care of.
