short stay.
My room, 2031, was small but adequate. For a small room the TV was too large but not a problem to complain about.
Breakfasts were great with a good display and choices.
Reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

Nicely refurbished hotel with great (paid) parking
This hotel is in a great location, lovely reception area and and very well stocked breakfast.
The rooms are a good size, the bed was comfy and the bathroom well appointed.
Parking is at the time of writing 25 Euros per night, note that you do need to reserve in advance.

Faultless stay
Very enjoyable 3 night stay. Room much bigger than anticipated and very nice to have a coffee machine for which the capsules were replenished when needed. Excellent breakfast with fresh, good quality products. The hotel was quiet, despite being only a few minutes walk from the station and town centre.

Excellent service, very friendly and helpful staff. Enormous breakfast, loads of options for every palette. Room was very comfortable, super quiet with windows closed, even though in a very central part of Bruges. Within walking distance of everything.
