Great location and the comfiest of beds! Our room was basic, no tea/coffee or fridge etc but that was fine for us, there was water though. Like others have said, there are areas that are in need of some tidying up but none of it would affect your stay. Breakfast was great, i wasn't expecting much after reading some reviews but it was all fresh and plentiful. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay, we were just there for a night so maybe I'd prefer more room facilities if i was to stay longer.

Lovely hotel in a great location

Lovely hotel with friendly welcoming staff and an excellent location near to the town centre . The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a continental buffet with a good choice of cereals, boiled eggs , cold meats and bread . Unlimited hot drinks during the day until 10pm from the dining area was a bonus as well .

Could be really nice but is really unloved and badly looked after. Night 1: (room 11) - Just behind reception and very noisy as a result - Broken window meant a gap and letting in cold air (freezing outside). No heating in room doesn’t help! - Paint peeling off various parts of the walls - Squashed bugs into ceiling - No tea / coffee facilities in room and the communal hot drinks is locked up at 10pm?! It was so cold and noisy we asked to move rooms for night 2. Night 2: (room 4) - Better than room 1, warmer and less noisy. - Still lacking the care and attention you’d expect Breakfast: - Coffee machine - broken - toaster - broken It’s just cold pastries and stale bread! This place needs looking at, staff seem disinterested and letting it go to ruin

Perfect ... could not ask for more

We loved this place. Staff were amazing. Chatty and informative and helpful. We asked for a kettle and it was done no problem at. The view was amazing... it was of the canal and we spent time watching the water birds and really enjoyed the kingfisher. The walk into town centre was easy and quick. Breakfast was continental and tasty ... with wonderful fresh bakes each day .. scrummy !! Unfortunately when i checked my coat i found id forgotten to hand in the key... so i guess i will just have to go back and return it ... oh damn !! Lol

Not what I paid for. Had to reserved another place

I reserved a big windows to the canal room. 200 euros!!! When I arrived I had an attic room with more than small windows. I had to go back to the reception area and after half an hour of showing the pictures and my reservation papers I was so tired of debating that I decided to leave. Careful, the photos are deceiving. The place is worn down. The only good thing: Balthasar, who handled the situation like a professional. Avoid the place, I reserved another hotel, less expensive and more amenities. I wrote an email and have not received anything as an answer. Spare yourself the bad experience.

Amazing property - right on a canal and original interior. If you want to stay in Bruges I recommend this hotel - very friendly staff, clean rooms, authentic Bruges style. If you’re looking for modernity - try somewhere else. If history is your thing - you’ll love this place

Period property in the heart of Bruges, this is however a basic hotel. No tea, coffee maaking facilities in room, no bedside cabinets and despite asking 3 times for someone to look st our faulty in room safe, this did not materialise. Basic continental breakfast., with a little work on rooms and facilities and maybe some more staff, it could be a gem in Bruges
