The apartment is very spacious and is close to lots of nice things in central Tournai (the train station, river, shops, restaurants, etc.). I especially loved the breakfast, it is a great idea! The hosts give you a few coupons to pick up fresh pastries at a nearby bakery (around 1 minute away).
Offering a seasonal outdoor pool and views of the pool, La Roseraie is set in Templeuve, 9.3 mi from Lille. The property offers flower arranging workshops on site upon request.

Owners are great, breakfast awesome, all very clean. Very eco too - no microwave gave us a bit of a headache for the kid, but we survived.
19 miles from Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Tournai, La chambre du puits avec 2 jacuzzis, sauna et Hammam privatif offers accommodations with access to a sauna and hot tub.

Tournai appeared to be quiet when we arrived but it really came to life in the evenings. We tried a couple of very good restaurants, one of which we had booked in advance, but many others were fully booked; an indication that they were also good. Several splendid bars with, of course, excellent Belgian beers. We had lunch at some of the restaurants in the main square, again very good but beware of the portion sizes, my wife and I should have shared a meal.

Great little town.
Great little town. Nice square and loads of shops/cafes/bars. Also a lot of small specialised/artisan shops. Easy to navigate with tall landsmarks. Great river walkways.
It felt pretty safe to me.

Lovely town centre.
Lovely town centre. I arrived by train and it was an easy walk to the centre of town and then around the town centre to all the attractions. I stayed only overnight but in two days saw a lot of the historic centre of town, cathedral and churches, bridge and the textile museum. Could have stayed another day. Perfect place for a stopover.

All the attractions mentioned in Lonely Planet for Tournai...
All the attractions mentioned in Lonely Planet for Tournai were good and well worth visiting especially the cathedral and the Grand Place, just a stroll from the appartement. Most surprising though was the tapestry museum TAMAT which exceeded our expectations. A pity the belfry was closed for renovation.

Very interesting historical town with lots to see.
Very interesting historical town with lots to see. Good variety of shops. Museums and art gallery. Compact enough to walk everywhere. Train station with regular frequent services to all parts of Belgium and beyond.The only problems were that most of the Cathedral is closed for major renovations for the foreseeable future.Similarly the main square in front of the railway station including all the car parking is closed for refurbishment. Be careful where you park. I got a ticket one day because I misread the restrictions.

A hidden Belgian gem,however, a place very often omitted by tourists, alas. And it is a really interesting, historical site, with a magnificent cathedral, bell-tower, cosy streets and squares, several interesting museums (the Folklore Museum is simply amazing) and full of restaurants and bars. Come on the second Sunday of September - it is a day of a religious procession and many other celebrations in the city.
Loved everything! Beautiful room with lovely view! Super clean. So much thought gone into provision of little details in room and bathroom. Lovely books to look at - little shared outdoor terrace for nice weather. Exceptional breakfast served by really friendly hosts. Home made very special jam (also for sale so we are still enjoying it now!) Easy parking in street - though time limit with blue disk during daytime. Easy walk to town centre.
We loved it here! No hesitation to go back if in area again.
The apartment was in a prime location, amenities within a small walking distance, only 15-20 minutes away from the centre of Tournai.
The Apartment was spacious and immaculate. Fred, the host, top marks for his hospitality, always went out of his way to make me feel welcomed. Tourist information booklets were graciously provided which came in handy.
Overall a 10/10 experience, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone wishing to visit the Tournai area.
Excellent location right in the centre of town. The apartment was large and well-equipped and super-clean. There was a large walk-in shower with good temperature and pressure. The bed was super-comfy. The kitchen was very well-equipped. I am glad there was a lift even though it was slow; it was silent. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly and went out of their way to assist with an issue in the car park, which they didn't have to.
Information was provided by text on how to access the keys. In French and in English! So, all very clear and easy instructions to follow.
Kitchen was well equipped and stocked with basic commodities: coffee filters, coffee, tea, butter, jams, milk sugar, … but also, pepper, salt, oil, vinegar.
Regular check-ins to see if there was something we needed.
Central location in Tournai, nothing in the city is far away.
Very friendly and helpful owner and staff, great location just minutes walk from the centre of town, good breakfast. The rooms are themed, along musical/cultural/artistic lines. We stayed in "Van Gogh" (twice actually) and its well done. On the Belgium/France border with that mix of culture, and spitting distance from the Calais terminals.
Hotel is in dreadful condition, run down & dirty. It has a good location but be aware that there is a biker bar literally in front of hotel blasting heavy metal music half the night. Lady at front desk very helpful but there is only so much she could do. Broken shower, no WiFi in room, filthy rug, jammed smoke detector.
There are numerous things i can say about this property but the highlights are , place is very clean, it is in the middle of the centre you can walk to about anything and it is quiet enough to offer tranquility, it apartments are equipped with everything you would need, kitchen stuff, bathroom supplies, linens.. Etc
Room was perfect, welcome snack was an excellent and copious greek mezze, water and white wine complementary in the refrigerator, breakfast served in the room was excellent with a lot of choices including baked eggs. Staff is super friendly and wants to make your stay perfect. walking distance from the centre.
The apartment is very spacious and is close to lots of nice things in central Tournai (the train station, river, shops, restaurants, etc.). I especially loved the breakfast, it is a great idea! The hosts give you a few coupons to pick up fresh pastries at a nearby bakery (around 1 minute away).
The hotel was cozy and had a nice ambiance… there was lots of movement to make you feel at home, but then the rooms are quite private and separated. I really appreciated the open coffee/tea and water fountain. It was a small touch that should be everywhere! Also nice location and nice staff.
Breakfast was delivered to the room and was enormous and delicious! The staff were a delight; endlessly helpful, always cheerful, and very kind. The rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable. Walking to the city centre is a short 10 minutes. Can't recommend the place enough.
An interesting property that is good value for money and convenient for the town centre or if you are stopping over on the way to somewhere else. The host was nice and obviously proud of his property. Which is very clean and entertaining in its design. The bed is very comfortable.
Nice appartement, we liked the way it was decorated, the style and the fournitures they used. There are some free parking spots not far and from there you can reach the centre within minutes. The host was helpful.
The hotel staff are wonderfully helpful, and the hotel is very near the cathedral and the museums. The hotel was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions, and the breakfast was much better than expected.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was basic, but had all we needed: a bed and a clean bathroom. Paid parking right in front of the hotel on the square.
Very comfortable accommodation; good kitchen facilities; lovely view of cathedral. Secure parking 10 minutes away (Q Park). Close to main historical centre.
