Hotel was an amazing option for Bruges, had a room with canal view. The whole area is like a fairy tale, visit was inspired by the movie In Bruges. Strongly recommend choosing this place, you can walk everywhere but it's on a quieter street than the main hotels and area. Best of both worlds within a 5 minute walk.

This hotel is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The biggest compliment I can pay it is that it felt like home. The staff were all outstanding and helped with places to visit and getting around. The room was superb, huge bed and so comfortable and clean. Stunning hotel with real character.

My room had a path with lots of stairs, thankfully they gave me easier access with all my luggage!
I didn't check out the breakfast or bar, but it looked nice.
The room was simpler than anticipated, but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and included decent towels and was comfortably heated.
The hotel is at a great location, a few minutes from the plaza.

It was too expensive for that type of room. I paid so much money and the breakfast was not even included.You can find better deals around this town. I didn't like the 2 supporting beams were running in the middle of my room and I could hit them any second. The toilet sitting is way too low, and they bathtub entry is too high. The bathroom Definitely needs a facelift. Staff was helpful. And do not be tricked in any hotel that is by a canal or river. That doesn't mean that you won't get that room and Europe forget about upgrade.

Nice Quaint Place, Great Location

I loved the location, facing at a quiet canal, a short stroll away from the bustle of the touristy areas. Wonderful dining options nearby. There is a bus stop a few steps away that take you to the train station or the farthest reaches of the city. The room was spacious, nicely furnished, with a beautiful view of the canal, plenty of hanging space, but not much to place not hanging clothes. Nice common areas. Breakfast was good. Several small things made it not a 5 star stay.
1-Coffe in the room was powder coffee. A Nespresso, or drip coffee should be standard for a 4 star hotel
2- The mixing valve of the shower did not mix well, so water went from too hot to too cold and I had to take showers moving in and out of the water stream
3. The reception person there most of the time was rather inattentive. We asked for a nearby restaurant recommendation that could take us the first day without a reservation and we were pointed to a book. We asked for information about the bus schedule and he told us to walk to the bus stop, we found out there was a marathon the day we were checking out, and we asked about street closures and the person had no idea there was a marathon passing just in front of the hotel, nor how that was going to affect our going to the train station. The hotel posted something the day before the marathon.
4- The towels looked dingy.
5- No way to control the heating.
But, overall it was a good stay and might come back to it if we go back to Bruges.

Very cute hotel, but in need of some renovations. The mini fridge didn't close properly, there was no outlet in the bathroom for a hair iron (only the hairdryer that was fastened over the outlet or hardwired in - not removable so couldn't tell), there was definitely evidence of some water damage in the form of bubbling and cracked paint here and there. It was all ok though, and the room seemed clean, didn't smell like mildew or anything.

My main concern, and maybe this is just an American thing, is that the elevator door didn't stop when it came in contact with me, my luggage, or my hand. Had to hit the button a couple of times after the doors failed to stop on first contact.

That aside, it's a cute hotel, with comfortable beds, in a good location, with pleasant staff.

Had a great breakfast at @tatties in the next block very near, and a good mid point for walking to the windmills etc. had a great time. Stairs are a bit of a trick, you’ll get used to them but keep in mind luggage or up and over the stairs between their 5 connected buildings. Adds to the quirk of it all.

We really enjoy staying at this hotel. Check in was very easy, the actual location made it very easy to walk to all of our activities, even though it's on the outer edge of the downtown area, it is so easy to get right into the heart of market square but yet stay far away from the big crowds, only a 9-minute walk. The only thing that I did not love about the hotel which cannot be controlled by the hotel itself, we had a beautiful room that overlooked the canal but unfortunately as the cars drove by who is very noisy from the street. Nothing the hotel could do about this, just something that if somebody is very sensitive to noise they should consider a garden view instead. Also there are a lot of stairs, so this should be considered if anybody has trouble navigating stairs. We would definitely stay here again.

Convenient stay

The hotel has a very good location, which made it convenient for getting around. However, my room was on the first floor, right next to the elevator area, so I could hear everyone passing by, which made it a bit noisy. Another downside was that there were no ramps for luggage, which made moving bags around less comfortable.

Room was stupidly hot, despite it being 6 degrees outside. No method of improving temperature or air quality in room due to inefficient air con (which we had to have on 24 hours) and noisy busy cobbled road outside window which meant having window open not an option. Room was not Shabby-Chic, but just Shabby with yellowed walls, peeling painted woodwork and threadbare carpet. Windowless bathroom only had 2 low power lights over sink and bath was in darkness permanently. Tiny thin towels. Avoid room 10 at all costs.

A great stay for our first visit to Bruges.

A lovely and very comfortable hotel with all mod cons and a touch of luxury but without loosing its old world charm. My husband and I stayed in a delux suite with canal view. Very, very spacious, lovely decor, the bathroom was huge with a superb shower and great pressure. We loved the separate loo with a heated seat that automatically lifted when you went in❤️ Our only niggle was the pillows, (and bed to a degree) were a little harder than we’re used too but in no way did it spoil our stay. It is also a shame that the hotel don’t do evening meals, just breakfast but there are plenty of restaurants near by. Very peaceful, quiet hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Would stay here again if we return to Bruges☺️
