"The room was clean and modern. The staff was fabulous. I asked about several things - Places to eat, train schedules, etc - The staff was eager to provide help and hey always had a smile on their faces. It was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had and I would stay there again in the future. A special shout out to Wilhelm from the restaurant who went out of his way to survey other staff on the best place to get waffles in Bruges."

"So I thought this was a nice place well located in Bruges, not so central which also made it quite quiet. We parked in the train station car park which is 10 mins walk but less than half the price of the nearest car park. It doesn't have air con though, which is probably normally not a problem but the room was very hot and it wasn't that hot outside. You can pay a lot in Bruges i would say this is about right."
