Wijtschate Holidays from £358

We loved our stay at the Hoxton. Booked a roomy corner- amazing views and very fun, cool design. Breakfast was delicious and bars were nice in evening (go to rooftop bar for fab views) Easy to walk to Grand Place etc. A great stay!

The first receptionist was terrible , she doesn’t care about guest comfort. The family rooms are in a second building and has to use stairs, this is a wrong advertising. Until we Getz back from the tours like 6pm, Aa new receptionist gave us 2 single room with elevator and we could have a nice stay. Unless you have no heavy bags this hotel woth it, they don’t have porter

Hotel was clean and had nice decor. Area was relatively quiet and convenient with nearby metro stations and shops. We had an issue with the shower where the door was not flush with the ground. This resulted in water spilling into the rest of the bathroom and seeping into the bedroom. It wasn’t noticeable until I came out of the bathroom to see the floor of the bedroom was wet. We contacted the service desk and there was only one person manning the whole hotel. We asked if we could get cleaning services or at least some towels to sop it up and he said there were no cleaning people at night and since he was the only one there he couldn’t come up and leave the desk. We came down and grabbed towels and cleaned it up ourselves. He then gave us a different room to use which had a bathtub so we didn’t encounter the issue again. But this all happened around midnight and it was really inconvenient to replace our stuff and have to move when we were settling down for bed. He told us that there have been issues in the past with the bathrooms flooding due to poor design of the shower. We also read other reviews saying a similar story. Although the man was very nice, we were not impressed with how the hotel handled the matter. No one checked in again with us after this happened. When we brought this up to the front desk at checkout, they said they were going to email us about compensation details but they never did leaving us to write this review.

Very good hotel, warm interior, tasty breakfast and helpful staff.

We loved Barabas and would book again if returning to Bruges. Our host was warm, friendly, and helpful. Check-in was a breeze, and breakfast had enough choices to make everyone in our group happy. The location and setting are unbeatable. The garden beside the canal is lovely, and you are minutes from all the sites. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay! Thank you, Bert.
