Beautiful room. We did have to manually turn off the heater and the AC was weak, but we figured it out. The room was very nice and the staff was helpful at check-in. If you need parking, there is a lot behind the hotel, but you have to reserve it ahead of time. Otherwise the towns big parking garage is nearby ($17 euros for 24 hrs).

We stayed for three nights at the Golden Tree Hotel in Bruges and truly enjoyed the charm of this historic property. The room had an old-world character that felt cozy and inviting. The bed and carpet were very comfortable, and the lamps added a lovely touch of homeliness.

Housekeeping did a great job throughout our stay, keeping everything clean and tidy. The only issues we noticed were that the bathtub tended to clog frequently, and it would have been nice to have a hanger near the mirror for towels, as well as a proper spot to place our luggage.

Breakfast was excellent — served in a dining room that looks like a small palace, with crystal chandeliers and elegant vintage furniture. The hotel is about a 13-minute walk from the Old Town Square, making it convenient yet peaceful.

A special mention to the night staff — she was amazing! Though we didn’t catch her name, she went out of her way to share local tips, restaurant recommendations, and even provided us with a city map. Unfortunately, our interaction with another male staff member was disappointing; he was quite rude to my spouse, who had only asked about the location of the steam room. His attitude really contrasted with the otherwise warm hospitality we experienced.

Overall, despite a few hiccups, the Golden Tree Hotel offered a charming and memorable stay in beautiful Bruges.

very small room, one side of the bed might as well be touching the wall but it was comfortable at least. not a lot of space for 2 people to spread out with suitcases. there was a walk-in shower but it was very tight. the location is good, maybe a few blocks from the edge of town and near a lot of restaurants. this is more of a boutique hotel.

Value for money and location.

Staff were friendly and helpful, we can converse well comfortably in English with them. Storage room is a bonus, we could leave the bully items after check out, so we can explore Bruges city center. Lift at the courtyard is very helpful. There are water dispenser and microwave at the common lounge for guests to use. About 20 minutes walk from Bruges train station and less than 10 minutes to reach the edge of the city center. Ample sitting space in the reception and common lounge.

Downside is tower heating rail in the bathroom was slightly rusty at the bottom. Another thing is only having decaf coffee in the room. Pretty sure the reception desk would kindly sort this out, in the end we weren't too fussed about it.

The hotel is located well for walking around Bruges. It has a very nice area around the reception and looks grand. The outside is also very nice, with an interior sitting area of garden type.
What is not so nice are the rooms. Ours was a rather small, with no wardrobe to speak of and with a very small working desk. Never mind. What was really not good is that the window in the bathroom could not be closed. In mid-October this means feeling cold by night, since there was no working heating either. Having asked at the reception on the mornings of both Friday and Saturday for the problem to be resolved, it was really disappointing to see that after three nights in the hotel absolutely nothing was done. It was also disappointing to find that the room-maid 'forgot' to replenish coffee, milk and sugar on each morning. Last but not least, the member of the staff to whom the complaint about the window was passed was unusually rude.

False advertising saying that there is parking onsite (the reason we booked here) to then be told that parking is actually 1400m away and that we needed to reserve parking two weeks in advance (difficult when we only booked the hotel one day in advance!). This should be clearly listed. Breakfast was poor quality and there was no hot food left even 90 minutes before end of Breakfast. Room cleaners incredibly noisy at 0900 when check out is 1100. Hotel reception staff very smug and patronising towards foreign clients. Room across courtyard and quiet but really dated and reminds me of 1990.

Go Ghent instead of Bruges

Golden Tree Hotel is located ideally 800m from the best spots of Bruges and walking to train station. However our stay was mixed and I would recommend staying at Ghent than at Bruges. Bruges is a nice pretty town, the hotel rooms are fine, however there was construction in the hotel and plus some stairs to negotiate and rains through which to walk to room. Also on checkout the lady was insistent on charging 10€ per extra hour by the clock. Checkout time was 11am and at 11:10am she kept telling us ten mins more and we need to pay 10€ per room. No staff help you with luggage despite the few stairs to negotiate. The television was not working so we were given a bottle of wine complimentary. Considering the expensive price of this hotel and of Bruges overall, in service it was nowhere close to the service levels we received in Madrid and Paris. So I won’t blog about Bruges Stay tips as overall experience wasn’t as good. The bathrooms don’t have separators so when you bathe water will spill over to other side. The only good part of this hotel is Guillaume. He was helpful in replying all my mails queries promptly and did give us a smooth checkin process.

We had a very pleasant stay. We called them to let them know of our late arrival and we were told how to get our key and find our room with very simple instructions.
