“A perfect stay in a beautiful city.. comfortable, welcoming, and ideally located”
We had an amazing stay in Bruges last weekend. The hotel was fantastic and the room was spotless and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of fresh options each morning, and the location couldn’t have been better for exploring the city. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bruges.

“A nightmare”
I got stuck in the lift going up, I did manage to get the lift to go down to the bottom where I contacted the owner. He implied this has not happened before and it was something I had done. We then went in the lift which broke down half way between floors and I had to crawl out. After being repaired, it also happened again with my wife and I in there. The door hook on the bedroom door fell off when you put a coat on it. The heating broke down when the snow was falling, and the last thing was the S bend leading from the bathroom sink came away from the wall. The hotel staff did nothing to sort this out even after we had asked them to telephone a plumber. The owner said that this does not happen on its own and said what have you done, which i was shocked at the accusation and it was exceedingly aggressive towards me. When asking the receptionist to phone a plumber, the reply was "don't tell me what to do".

“The hotel was comfortable and central. It has a lot of character and the staff are very helpful.”
We received a warm welcome when we arrived at the hotel. Our rooms were very comfortable and the hotel had made sure one of them had a walk-in shower for accessibility reasons. The breakfasts were worth the 20 Euros with good choice. The location is excellent being just ten minutes walk from the main Market Square.
