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 .

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

The staff was very friendly and eager to please. The breakfast was great. The location was very walkable to all attractions, but was nice and quiet along the river with a relaxing, peaceful garden to enjoy a drink and watch the ducks swim by.

Great Hotel Location
A great presonal hotel in an ideal location to everything in the centre of Brugge. It was warm the time we visited however there is a fan in the room that helped.

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

Excellently placed hotel with onsite parking
It was a bonus to have a hotel with on-site parking (needs reserving in advance and attracts additional fee).
The location was excellent being easy to get to the centre of Bruges which is just a few minutes walk away.
The staff were all very welcoming and mainly eager to assist - some appeared much more experienced than others.
I was told that gluten free bread was unavailable but do not know whether that would have been the case if I had asked other members of staff - there was a buffet selection of meats, cheeses, eggs, salad, cereal and fruit so there were alternatives available and all of it looked fresh and appetising.
A lot of the crockery seemed to be damaged but it was clean and always available.
The standard of housekeeping varied quite considerably between the 2 days we were there - first day the duvet was straightened - second day all the bedding was beautifully restored.
The USB socket in the room did not work but if we had raised it with the staff it would more than likely have been sorted out - we forgot as we had improvised using the socket on the back of the TV.
The room was clean and comfortable with a pleasant view. There was not much storage, seeming to be better suited to short stays but it was absolutely fine for 3 nights. The safe was useful.
There were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room but they could be purchased at the bar - a price list in the room would have been useful.
We would consider staying there again.

Overall, a very cosy stay. It's a family run hotel and the staff we did meet were very friendly. The location is very convenient too.
A couple of downsides are involving the room, it could get incredibly warm even with the radiator turned down and the pillows weren't very comfortable. It would also be nice if they had tea and coffee maki facilities too.
