The hotel is in a good location, just 10 mins walking distance to the market place.The rooms are clean and tidy, we stayed in the budget room which means the bathroom is private but outside the room but that wasn't a huge problem. The materasses weren't the most confortable but we slept quite well. Breakfats is very average, staff are... More

The hotel is in a nice quiet square looking over the church. The rooms are a good size, clean and well decorated. It is a short walk to the Belfry past the Choco museum and canals. For food you are best off finding somewhere in the city centre but the receptionist is helpful and will point you in the direction... More

We stayed for two nights this weekend just gone and were very impressed. The rooms were beautiful, it was easy to find and the staff were very helpful. They were friendly, jokey and helped enormously with the logistics of leaving Bruges. Not too far from the main market square but through some small back roads so having a map helped!... More

With the Markt just 10 minutes walk south along the pretty canals of Bruges, this hotel has a terrific location. If you walk away in the other direction, you will soon come upon the beautiful windmills at the eastern edge of the city. The hotel itself is neat and clean, rather bijou, does its job with few frills or pretensions.... More

I booked a room for 3 nights in early February at this hotel without looking at the reviews (which I normally do). I, subsequently, looked at the reviews and was bit worried, prior to my visit, that I might have made a mistake. Fortunately, this was not the case. STAFF: I arrived late(ish) and was welcomed by a man who... More

I'll get the negatives out of the way first, the 'Tourist Tax' appeared as we were checking out, but to be fair to the lady on reception she said that some companies pay it some don't. Legally (according to the Brugge Tourist board) the taxes should be included in the price, but the company i booked with said that the... More

The room was cozy and the neighborhood very quaint, but the staff was less than helpful. We arrived late so we were given the code to the front door to let ourselves in. Thank goodness it worked since there was no one working who could have helped. Our room did not get cleaned the next day because they didn't know... More

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in February 2013. Unfortunately this hotel is ruined by the staff and the infamous (only to this hotel) 'city tax'. When we asked for any documentation to prove the city tax was lawful (if this was shown, we would have been happy to pay), the man at the desk got into a... More

We stayed one night here on a booze and fag run from Portsmouth. Room was nice but no hot water when we arrived that evening or next morning. Shame really as this is what we will remember this hotel for and not the quiet location, good size room. Average breakfast - at least the tea and coffee was hot...!
