Second time at the hotel and stay was good. Lots of anti vivid precautions in place and staff seemed very aware. Breakfast was a little deflating but couldn’t expect much more. Will go again.

Hotel Donny
Really nice hotel with great food and service.
breakfast didnt start until 08.00am which was a little late for our Eurotunnel booking but after a bit of persuasion they let us have breakfast at 07.30 so made it in good time.

Decent Donny
The hotel is in a good location. A short walk to the promenade. The staff was nice. The room itself is decent but the bathroom is a bit outdated for a four star hotel the breakfast didn’t have a lot of hot foods (only eggs and bacon).

Just wish I’d stayed longer
This hotel went beyond our expectations. Fantastic. It ticked all the right boxes, quiet location for sleeping, a four to five minute walk to the beautiful sandy beach, 10-15 minutes walk to the town centre. Comfy beds, lovely breakfast, spotlessly clean and lovely staff. Can’t ask for more

As advertised
The hotel was very clean. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The lobby and lounge areas were inviting with the fire places burning. The room was spacious and comfortable with all amenities needed. The breakfast buffet was always fresh and plentiful. The restaurant served delicious food from either the menu or a prepared selection for the day. The walk to the beach, shops or other restaurants is short. Onsite parking was a bonus.
It should be noted that the lobby is not open 24 hours so plan your arrival accordingly. Once checked in, there is a code to get into the hotel through a side door.
If I were to return to De Panne, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Family stop off stay
We had a lovely stay with our two children. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was huge with separate shower and bath. Bath robes for the pool were great. Breakfast was a good selection and all fresh and tasty. Staff were lovely and helpful. Kids used the pool 3 times and hubby loved the saunas.

Well run, comfortable and clean up-market hotel within a 5 minute walk of De Planne's excellent beach and beach-front bars and restaurants. Ideal for reasonably well-healed business travelers and families alike.
Not cheap but worth it if you can afford it!
Has 2 Tesla destination chargers and a separate double Type 2 charging point right outside the front entrance. Both are free to use but I would advise booking.

Donny short stay
Friendly helpful staff in the hotel with parking available. The town doesnt really cater for English visitors and the people are quite reserved but the beach and scenary is fab. Can easily go from here back into France or further into Belgium e.g. Ostend

Hotel Donny
Generally clean and functional hotel with great family room set up [adjoining room with twin bunk beds for kids] bathroom was a little shabby and would benefit from better cleaning. Pool was great though
