A fantastic place to stay!
I would stay there again in a heartbeat! The location was perfect. Close enough to all of the sights but not in the "center" so it was nice and quiet at the end of the night. We stayed there for an anniversary and the team did a great job setting up flowers and cava in the room for when we arrived. It had an all modern vibe which was nice and super close to the train station for an easy arrival and departure. I would stay again and again

The property was located on a large square with lots of bars and restaurants. The parking was a large underground car park at the square and was very convenient to the Hotel. The hotel is located near all tourist attractions and is a lovely place to stay. The family room was very spacious, with a huge bath tub. We enjoyed a lovely stay here and would definitely choose this hotel again.

We had a brilliant stay from the 6th to 8th of December, it’s a great hotel conveniently a 15 minute walk from the station in one direction and the Christmas markets in another! The rooms have great views of the three towers of Bruges which look great in the evenings! The rooms were very clean and a great quality, immaculate bathroom! Breakfast was continental very clean eating area and lovely food! Overall we had a fantastic time and would use the same hotel again if we came back!

Room was nice, modern, clean. Bathroom with sheer curtain is odd as others can see you in shower. The hair dryer has caked on dust and grime which was not pleasant. Other good stay.

Nice modern hotel on the square with tons of dining and drinking options and a market on some days
Parking is right under that square for 12€ per 24 hours
Rooms are of decent size with fancy furnishings and a coffee machine with plenty of coffee pods and tea bags.

Nice location & quality
Nicest hotel of a multi-day trip - very conveniently located (just within walking distance of the train station and on the edge of the old town). Several restaurants nearby and scattered across the town. Nice open space with room for our family of three.

Great location. Walkable from the train station and minutes to the main square.
Didn’t have much dealings with the staff when we were there but all seemed nice and helpful.
Dining options right outside of hotel.
Room was nice and fine for what we needed it for. Wasn’t in there loads to be fair. Only issue was, there were some marks on the bedding.
Shower room is open but you can pull a privacy screen across.
