Smuid Holidays from £249

Loved the street cafes nearby. Great to have a room for a family of five. Breakfast was great on penthouse floor overlooking Aalst.

The staff was wonderful. The rooms are well-appointed with excellent sheets, pillows, and towels.

Clean room but noisy at night as I think someone had left the communal door open ( we stayed inthe annexe). Location was excellent and room was lovely.

The hotel was in a great area with lots of options for bars (cafe hopper, patine) and dinning (den artiste brasserie was good). It is around a 20 min walk from the main square (grote market/de kathedraal) and theatreplein (where there is a good market and you can get fresh fruit/vegetables, fresh waffles, croquettes/cava amongst other things). Hotel wasn’t the cleanest (sheets and towels were found stained), bugs in room, safety deposit box and room phone didn’t work - when asked for working ones hotel staff said they would switch them right away and then never came to do so (safety deposit box is important when you are a tourist carrying money and passports). Hotel staff we dealt with wasn’t the most helpful, although nice but when asked for restaurant/bar recommendations and sites to see (we found everything through our own research). If these easy fixes can be taken care of this would be a great hotel recommendation.

Thiscis a lovely little hotel very close to the center of Brugges but nestled on a quiet street out of the hustle and bustle.
