This room is absolutely lovely. We stayed here for part of our honeymoon trip - the view of the canal was wonderful and quiet, and we had peaceful mornings sipping espresso before walking an easy distance to the center of Bruges.

Great welcome and amazing location. Nice and quiet, traditional meets modern well specced place. Can’t have a 10 because of a few (very small) things needed fixing but really small details. Host was fantastic! We will return.

The place to stay in Bruges

What a wonderful stay we had last weekend (17/05/19). We were greeted by the host on check-in with a glass of champagne to sit in the window overlooking the canal, she gave us a map and pointed out nearby points of interest. We were then taken upstairs to enjoy our champagne on the roof terrace overlooking the beautiful city of Bruges. What an experience. We were then taken to the Junior Suite on the top floor which consisted of a tastefully decorated double bedroom, kitchen/living area, bathroom with a bath, shower and double sink, and separate toilet. It was much more than we had expected and each window had wonderful views of the canals. So peaceful and so well laid out. In the kitchen there was a microwave, sink, coffee maker and fridge stocked with water, sparking water, Coca Cola, Jupiler beer and a guesthouse special beer, these drinks were replenished free of charge each day. We could not have asked for anything more. But what really made this a great stay was seeing the effort put in to making each guest feel welcome and feel at home. The little details, the umbrellas by the front door, the seat in the window overlooking the canal, the coat hooks by the door, everything is so well thought out, it is clear that the guest comes first and they just want you to have everything you need. Thank you for a wonderful stay - we will be back! Breakfast is not to be missed.

Location location space!

Can’t beat the location: so close to central attractions, yet just off the beaten tourist path (although tour boats pass by on the Canalside during the day, and horse-drawn carriages on the street side). But on top of that this is much more like renting an apartment then a hotel room, and we thoroughly enjoyed the space. Lyn was very helpful. The optional breakfast was great.

Lovely accommodations, conveniently located just far enough from the busiest tourist drags but close enough if you're tempted to visit them. Great space, fantastic Bruges intro and map as we checked in, all just really added to our enjoyment of a short stay over. Easy walk (~15 min) from train station, though over cobblestone!

Lovely stay in Bruges

My boyfriend and I spent one night at a horrible hotel called Hotel Castillion, and two nights at Canalside House - the contrast couldn't have been greater! We loved this apartment - lots of space, yet still cosy and romantic, and the host was amazing in making sure that we had a great trip. The best feature of this apartment is the view of the canal from every room.

Gem of a guesthouse!!

Absolute gem of a guesthouse. Staff were so friendly and sat with us on arrival to run through areas of interest that they thought we'd like to visit. They book our restaurant and even our taxi back to the station. We couldn't have asked for anymore! Guesthouse was immaculate and in a great walking distance to everything. I could not recommend this place enough!

Canal Side

Very nice accommodation and convenient for town. There was an extra charge for use of the lock up garage which you need to book in advance. Would be good if you want self catering. Breakfast is also charged as an extra. There are bakeries nearby where you can have breakfast if you wish.

Lovely accommodation in the heart of the city

Absolutely lovely place, rooms far bigger than I was expecting....it was bigger than my first flat! Clean and warm. The owner was very helpful, even allowing us to keep the room until early evening when we had to catch our ferry.

Slow start, but a lovely place

This place has a lovely location, we had a beautiful junior suite with big comfort. Close to everything, but still very qiuet. Good bed, good space, and some appreciated kitchen facilities. Bad lighter in the bathroom though... We arrived a bit early for check-in, but was kindly asked to come back at 2pm when check-in opened. We did because we got up at 3 am, and was in need of a nap. We got a nice glass of champagne, and was taken to a beautiful roof terrace to wait while other guests to be checked in. But as we almost fell asleep, the wait was too long. We finally got to our room at 3.30 pm, but cleaning was not finished, so we had to wait another half an hour. This was of course unfortunate, and not the start we wished for. But overall a lovely place, we would love to come back if the rooms are ready at check-in time.
