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.

Minimalist rooms done nicely, in a great quiet location on the West side near the train station. The canal view was as promised, but be careful of mosquitos sneaking into the room. An extra plus for the breakfast, though I did wish there was tea and coffee for the rooms. Two minor minuses - There was an issue with hot water, but this was sorted out and I was able to check out later because of it; One of the glasses wasn't clean (with leftover lipstick), but there were plenty of other clean looking glasses available. I'd happily stay again.

Friendly Place
Little hotel with a friendly attitude. Located off the main touristy areas and a short walk to train station. Welcoming and helpful staff, excellent breakfast, simple yet pleasing room and nice little outdoor terrace to end the day with a cold local brew. The only issue was the hot and stuffy room due to the warm weather and not being able to keep the window open due to mosquitos. Otherwise, good vibe and good for solo travellers.

What a beautiful hotel in a beautiful city! We loved being able to look out at a peaceful canal from our room, and while enjoying the hearty breakfast from the patio. Everyting was delicious, from the boiled eggs to the fresh juice and breads. It did get a little warm in our room due to the higher than average temperature and lack of air conditioning in this old building, but opening a window made it better. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

Lovely hotel, great location.
Lovely hotel, very helpful and friendly staff - we were greeted with a warm welcome and a map of Bruges with tips and recommendations from the receptionist on where to visit. Hotel is in a great location, around 15 mins walk from the train station and 5 mins to the centre of Bruges. Room was comfortable, water and toiletries were provided. Great continental breakfast included- plenty of choice and attentive staff. Main negative was the lack of air conditioning - we had a room on the top floor and really struggled to cool the room enough with the fan to sleep well the first evening. Would definitely return at a slightly cooler time of the year (was around 30 degrees at the time of our visit). Also note we had to access our room via stairs (no lift) - not a problem for us, but if you have reduced mobility.

Weekend away
We really enjoyed our stay. Room was comfortable, we were ground floor, room 10, bed was really comfortable and we had a lovely view of the Canal. Breakfast in the morning was also really nice, plenty on offer. The dining room is pretty with a chandelier in the middle It’s continental style but we knew that and it was no problem, my partner particularly liked the croissants with the variety of accompaniments on offer. Great location for exploring Bruges, maybe a 10 minute walk into the main square. Close to bars and restaurants and we were given a recommendation from reception for our first evening, so found that really helpful. I would definitely go back, it ticked our boxes!

Excellent stay for me and my family (3 children). We stayed in the family room and had lots of space. The room was in need of some repairs (broken tiles in the bathroom) but the location is perfect, the staff is amazing and the breakfast every morning was just enough to fuel ourselves for a day of exploring the beautiful area of Bruges.

Classy hotel in central location
Very nice hotel and service. Location was fantastic, nice facilities. Only two things weren't so good: 1. next door's shower shower made a terrible whining sound which filled the room. 2. The boiled egg at breakfast was semi-raw (the white not the yolk).

Disliked: Amenities
We're not ones to complain but it felt like the price did not match what you pay for... the room was very cold until we mentioned on reception the heating is not working. There was no coffee/tea making facilities in the room as described and most importantly we were not made aware we had to pre book parking which was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel. Felt overpriced for what you got. Would not recommended not visit again.
