The location is close enough to attraxtions. The breakgast is good and the rooms are clean. During winter time, the rooms were warm enough, too. In the hotels.com site, it was written that parking available. This was a bit misleading as the hotel cannot offer parking but one needs to find parking elsewhere (as such it was not a problem because there is commercial parking halls nearby)

Minimalist rooms done nicely, in a great quiet location on the West side near the train station. The canal view was as promised, but be careful of mosquitos sneaking into the room. An extra plus for the breakfast, though I did wish there was tea and coffee for the rooms. Two minor minuses - There was an issue with hot water, but this was sorted out and I was able to check out later because of it; One of the glasses wasn't clean (with leftover lipstick), but there were plenty of other clean looking glasses available. I'd happily stay again.

Estuvimos en la habitación cuádruple, con nuestros hijos. La estancia fue buena, la habitación es amplia y silenciosa y estaba muy limpia. El baño es enorme pero es extraño no tener mampara o cortina en la ducha, por lo que se moja todo el baño. La taza del WC era muy alta, un poco "columpio". Había jabón, champú y crema en el baño. Los colchones eran cómodos y el desayuno estaba bien, aunque no había apenas bollería. La ubicación es céntrica sin estar en las zonas más transitadas, por lo que se agradece la tranquilidad. Estuvimos cómodos y volveríamos a este hotel

Could be really nice but is really unloved and badly looked after. Night 1: (room 11) - Just behind reception and very noisy as a result - Broken window meant a gap and letting in cold air (freezing outside). No heating in room doesn’t help! - Paint peeling off various parts of the walls - Squashed bugs into ceiling - No tea / coffee facilities in room and the communal hot drinks is locked up at 10pm?! It was so cold and noisy we asked to move rooms for night 2. Night 2: (room 4) - Better than room 1, warmer and less noisy. - Still lacking the care and attention you’d expect Breakfast: - Coffee machine - broken - toaster - broken It’s just cold pastries and stale bread! This place needs looking at, staff seem disinterested and letting it go to ruin

Great location and the comfiest of beds! Our room was basic, no tea/coffee or fridge etc but that was fine for us, there was water though. Like others have said, there are areas that are in need of some tidying up but none of it would affect your stay. Breakfast was great, i wasn't expecting much after reading some reviews but it was all fresh and plentiful. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay, we were just there for a night so maybe I'd prefer more room facilities if i was to stay longer.

Period property in the heart of Bruges, this is however a basic hotel. No tea, coffee maaking facilities in room, no bedside cabinets and despite asking 3 times for someone to look st our faulty in room safe, this did not materialise. Basic continental breakfast., with a little work on rooms and facilities and maybe some more staff, it could be a gem in Bruges

Overall, a very cosy stay. It's a family run hotel and the staff we did meet were very friendly. The location is very convenient too. A couple of downsides are involving the room, it could get incredibly warm even with the radiator turned down and the pillows weren't very comfortable. It would also be nice if they had tea and coffee maki facilities too.

Lovely hotel, very helpful and friendly staff - we were greeted with a warm welcome and a map of Bruges with tips and recommendations from the receptionist on where to visit. Hotel is in a great location, around 15 mins walk from the train station and 5 mins to the centre of Bruges. Room was comfortable, water and toiletries were provided. Great continental breakfast included- plenty of choice and attentive staff. Main negative was the lack of air conditioning - we had a room on the top floor and really struggled to cool the room enough with the fan to sleep well the first evening. Would definitely return at a slightly cooler time of the year (was around 30 degrees at the time of our visit). Also note we had to access our room via stairs (no lift) - not a problem for us, but if you have reduced mobility.

We loved this place. Staff were amazing. Chatty and informative and helpful. We asked for a kettle and it was done no problem at. The view was amazing... it was of the canal and we spent time watching the water birds and really enjoyed the kingfisher. The walk into town centre was easy and quick. Breakfast was continental and tasty ... with wonderful fresh bakes each day .. scrummy !! Unfortunately when i checked my coat i found id forgotten to hand in the key... so i guess i will just have to go back and return it ... oh damn !! Lol

Everyting was delicious, from the boiled eggs to the fresh juice and breads.
