We recently stayed at Dukes’ Academie in Bruges and it completely exceeded our expectations.
What made the stay truly special was the genuine kindness of the staff. They went out of their way to celebrate my wife’s birthday – a thoughtful, personal gesture that meant the world to us and made the occasion feel even more memorable.
The breakfast was simply outstanding – by far the best we have ever experienced in any hotel, whether travelling for work or pleasure across Europe and the USA. The quality, variety, and presentation were on another level. It set a new standard for us.
Our room was spacious, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable – the kind of room that makes you want to stay in bed until late in the morning. Everything felt fresh, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed for a restful night’s sleep.
The staff throughout the hotel were warm, attentive, and professional, and the cosy bar was the perfect place to relax with a drink after a day exploring Bruges.
Dukes’ Academie is a real gem. We left feeling completely cared for and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!

First staff is outstanding. No actually the most important thing is such a location is perfect for people who like to walk to everything. No you are not in the market Square. But walking there cannot be beat as you see so many sides of Bruge! If you’re leaving the hotel to the right of the hotel, you make a left and you begin your journey. If you’re leaving a hotel, make a left you go to another fabulous part of the city. Every part of the city is perfect. The hotel rooms themselves are very clean and well kept but now comes the best part – the breakfast. I have eaten many breakfast in Europe, but none of them came close to their buffet. I had a two years ago and I came back just because I loved it so much. And I was not disappointed. And now back to the girls at the desk… They were helpful and delightful. And for my birthday, I had a beautiful swan made of towels in my room with chocolate and candy surrounding
It. I was delighted. Thank you, Dukes Academy, for being a perfect place to stay!

This was our second stay and we once again enjoyed every minute of it. Staff were all very helpful and friendly, breakfast was plentiful with lots of variety and the room was lovely and clean. We liked the room with the shower more than the room with bath we had last time, so we will be asking for it again when we visit next. The location of this hotel is great too. We didn’t use the on site car park as the EV charging spaces were already booked but we used the nearby public car park for half the cost so no complaints there!

The property is and interesting assemblage of a number of different buildings. There are apparently about 90 rooms in total. All have been renovated and are quite nice though somewhat more \"cozy\" than depicted online.

There is parking, and it is considerably more \"cosy\" than might be expected of a property of this reputed calibre.

A nice stay, however perhaps somewhat inflated prices for the value?

The hotel was located in a very good location. Everything was within walking distance.
There were numerous restaurants, tea shops, cafes, shops nearby.
The hotel was clean, the staff were very helpful.
The breakfast was excellent, with a wonderful variety on offer.
Our room was wonderfully spacious, as was the bathroom.
There was a lovely courtyard area to sit out.

There was only one negative and that was the housekeeping.
Although, they did a great job, I felt that they took an age to get around to service the room.
We went out at 10am and came back 5hrs later and housekeeping were still servicing the room.

I would definitely stay/recommend this hotel.

The rooms are spotless and very well decorated, nice sheets and plenty of towels and shower gel/shampoo etc. Only 2 coffee pods (also 2 decaf) but these are replaced every day.
On arrival the staff were very welcoming and had great information on the local and wider area. They gave us a list of their favourite bars/brasserie/restaurants etc, and a map of the whole town, great service.
We had a room with the balcony door, the door lock had somehow failed however and the door could not be locked, after informing the desk staff, this was repaired and was fine, until the final morning when it failed again. Again, before we left I informed the desk staff, who were very apologetic. I know they'll repair it again.
The bar is well stocked and the staff very polite and cheerful. I liked that they put 2 ladies working together, it made me feel that the employers actually care about their staff and by extension their customers. I would definitely return when we return to Brugge.

Location was also fab - easy walking distance to everywhere in the city.

We used the underground car park, it was functional but very tight and tricky to get the car in and out. Not sure if any other parking in Bruges would be any easier though, suspect most of the underground car parks are similar.

Staff welcoming, room lovely. What let it down was a king bed that was very soft ( sunk hugely on one side ) and the frustration of getting to the front door to deposit bags and check in. With roads closed to cars and one way roads I ended up leaving my husband a few streets away and walking with my bags alone to find the hotel. Then I found out there was basement parking but you need to check in first to get the code! Not super helpful. More communication would avoid frustration!
