Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a mix of wonderful and not-so-great experiences. On the upside, the beautifully decorated rooms and pleasant common areas make for a delightful stay. However, the noise from the adjacent hotel bar can be quite bothersome until late at night.
The hotel is centrally located in Bruges, offering a peaceful stay along the river with easy access to the squares, shopping, and dining. The rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean, although they could benefit from some updates, especially in the bathrooms. The service provided by the staff is excellent, with a friendly attitude and a willingness to assist guests. The dining experience, while pleasant in a chic setting, may be considered overpriced for some. Overall, a convenient choice with a great location but with room for improvements in certain areas.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with beautiful rooms offering a lovely view over the canal and a relaxing pool to unwind after a day of exploring the town. The service was top-notch, with a super friendly and helpful staff. The location, right on the scenic canal, was just perfect for a peaceful getaway.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were large and lovely with a gorgeous fireplace that made it so cosy. The historic decor, including a poster bed dating back to 1703, added a classical touch that was in perfect harmony with the charm of Bruges town. However, the bed was a bit too hard for my liking. The service was top-notch - very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The location, although away from the historical city center, was in a quiet side canal street in the center of Bruges, offering a perfect balance of character and convenience. The dining experience was a bit overpriced, prompting me to explore other breakfast options outside the hotel. The facilities were well-kept, enhancing the overall experience.
Staying at this hotel was quite a mixed experience. On one hand, the warm and sauna-like ambiance of the rooms was unique, but the low ceilings in the attic room required constant attention to avoid hitting my head. The on-suite could use some improvements, and the unpainted ceiling with little light was a downside. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the city center, but the dining options left something to be desired.
The hotel is ideally located, just a 2-minute walk from the town center with stunning views, but noise from the adjacent hotel bar can be disruptive until late. The rooms, though beautifully appointed, have cleanliness issues, with dead leaves and flies present. The friendly service staff offers great assistance, including a tour of upcoming enhancements like a new sauna. The central location is perfect for exploring Bruges, only steps away from the main market square. The dining options are delicious and plentiful, offering a sublime Continental breakfast. Overall, a mixed experience blending fantastic location and beautiful rooms with noise disturbances and cleanliness concerns.
