Great time in Bruges!
The location is the best. The hotel is comfortable nothing negative to say. The young lady employee at the breakfast room was very helpful giving us useful touristic information I could not get at the front desk.

My husband and I had a wonderful 3 night stay at this hotel. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable and the views fantastic. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. We would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend the hotel to others.

The location cannot be faulted. However the room we were allocated was not of the standard we expected. No mirror in the room, other than the one in the bathroom (which you could not get close too). Very tight space around the bed. Towels were of poor quality. Considering what we paid we expected better quality overall.

Not great but central location
Uncomfortable bed which was 2 singles pushed together that slipped apart in the middle, also bathroom smells of sewage the entire time so had to keep the door shut.

I booked a suite which has panaramic views of the city. The hotel is smack in the middle of the old town centre and has a car park. The room was much better than I imagined.
