We adored this hotel! It's on the outer ring of central Bruges, an easy walk into the heart of everything. It's a lovely space. Phenomenal breakfast spreads every morning. Super helpful owner/staff! They personalized the experience in a way that made it truly special.

Nice hotel, exactly what you'd expect from a building like this. Having to take your shoes off when inside the building was fun. We were in front family room, so was a fair amount of traffic noise in the morning but it didn't bother us.

Glass sliding doors for the toilet was weird mind you.

Overall perfectly nice

A cosy and well looked after Guest House with a generous and delicious continental buffet breakfast. Fleur (the host) is very welcoming and multilingual. Well recommended for visiting Brugge. 20 mins walk into the city centre or buses regularly run from close to the door.

Good for couples maybe not families

Flier was very nice and breakfast staff were lovely as well. The family room for your people was disappointing as the photos made it seem there was more privacy but it is actually one room with two full beds of which one can be seperated in two. Expected more for the price. Breakfast was good and the common area was lovely.

Over and above excellent service that makes up for the short comings.
Probably needs a lick of paint new carpets and windows. It was quite warm when we stayed and the windows opened inwards into the room the windows frames were very worn out and aged and were an eyesore.We were out most of the time so didn't bother us too much but if you are going to be indoors then might be a problem.
Breakfast was ok.
Close walking distance to all you need to see.

Great B&B within walking distance of City Centre

Very warm welcome by our hosts, lovely large room, including a lounge area, very recently redecorated. Lovely breakfast (including Gluten Free options).

Owner was very helpful in suggesting restaurants and booking tables.

Parking available at a very decent rate at premises across the road.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

The staff were very nice and always helped however they could, especially as our train getting in was much later than their check in time, but they waited for us to arrive and gave us lots of great advice on the best places to eat and drink etc. Would recommend to all.

Great experience, but minor flaws in Brugge

Very friendly welcome, but could not park near hotel for free. Had to park about 7 blocks away. Owner gave us lots of good info and even booked our walking tour for the next day. Room on top floor was very hot and with window open, bugs arrived. Also bathroom door would not stay closed. One evening, after main entrance door was locked, had to climb stairs in the dark. Breakfast was great! Fridge in lobby with beer and wine for sale. Quiet area with short walk to main square.

Nice Hotel

We arrived at The Hotel Gulden Vlies, where we where greeted by a lovely lady who showed us where to park our car. On our return we where told that our room was ready and we could check in. The lady showed us a map and pointed out places of interest and places to eat and drink, told us about the Saturday Market which is from 9am to 13:30 I think. We stayed in room 1 which is at the back of the hotel nice and quite no noise of the traffic, only from the other guests. Our room was cosy with a double bed nice and comfy (firm) free wifi in room, a shower . The room was cleaned on a daily basis with fresh towels. Tea/ coffee facilities.Yes the room could do with a lick of paint other than that it was nice. Breakfast was a continental spread lots to choose from with Jazz playing in the background nice. This was our second time to Brugge, we did all of the sightseeing then this was just a relaxing break.
We would like to say a big thank you to all the staff

The hotel is in a great location 10 minutes walk from Bruge city centre. However there were lots of issues with our room. The seat of the toilet was broken, one of the bedside lamps was loose on the wall so that it hung down dangerously, the sliding door to the tiny bathroom was off its hinge so that it didn't close properly. thete was also an empty Tupperware container under the radiator. The owner of the hotel was lovely and the breakfast very tasty but the hotel is in desperate need of a refurbishment.

Value for money

We stayed at this hotel to explore Bruges. It's a great location, just outside the main perimeter but close enough to walk and pretty quiet with free on-road parking nearby. There was free wifi, nice continental breakfast and friendly staff.

However we did have a broken toilet seat and a sliding door to the bathroom that wouldn't stay shut and was an old recycled normal door which we thought was odd.

Good location , nice walk into the centre and parking at front (4hr limit in day time hours) which suited me fine as when I arrived in evening there were no time restrictions and I left at 11 am the next morning . Friendly staff and lovely room - only problem I had was a dripping shower ... Sounds picky but when room is quite at night it was really annoying. Great staff and great stay

Good if you want a quiet night's sleep

We booked the Hotel Gulden Vlies for a quick overnight trip to Bruges. The hotel itself is a little old and faded, and we were surprised to find that the en-suite bathroom was a box built into the corner of the room with a sliding 'flap' as a door that did not entirely close it off! But it was clean, had an old-fashioned charm, the shower was good and the bed was comfy. Breakfast was a cold buffet which suited us fine.

The hotel is a good 10 minutes walk from the city centre hustle and bustle. We quite liked this as it meant that the area was quiet when we wanted to sleep and the walk in was very easy. For the price, I would go back. Beware though, we booked through Expedia and the price quoted (on which we based the booking) was not the same as the price charged upon leaving. Also there was a one euro eighty tax per person added on, which all meant that the stay was about £10-12 more expensive than anticipated.

Cosy, charming & friendly

Very accommodating owners, very helpful with recommendations and tips for exploring the city. Hotel is very charming and cosy - the only thing that is a bit odd is that the bathrooms don't have proper doors. Instead, they have a kind of slide-door which serves as more of a flap than a door, so it's not the most private thing in the world. However, as long as you know the person you're staying with pretty well, this isn't really a problem.

Great hotel in a great city

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Gulden Vlies hotel Brugge and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I was initially slightly apprehensive about the property as it was only a 2star but was very pleasantly surprised when we arrived. It is very clean and stylishly decorated, the room we had was very quiet with a pleasant view out towards the city. Breakfast which was included in the price was also great, Continental, but all we wanted. All in all we had a great stay, the staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Wir hatten 4 Nächte im Doppelzimmer gebucht, das Zimmer war geschmackvoll mit alten Möbeln eingerichtet. Leider gab es nur einen Nachttisch und der Schrank roch recht antik. Die Fenster waren etwas in die Jahre gekommen und nach dem Duschen statt hinterher alles konstruktionsbedingt unter Wasser. Unser Zimmer ging nach hinten raus und war ruhig. Für uns etwas eigentümlich für ein Hotel war, dass wir unsere Schuhe ausziehen mussten und nur in Latschen aufs Zimmer durften. Achtung, vorher mit der Unterkunft in Kontakt treten, um die Check-in-Zeit zu vereinbaren, es ist anscheinend regulär nur vormittags jmd. dort. Die Eigentümerin haben wir nur am Ankunftstag angetroffen. Die übrigen Tagen wurde sie von Ingrid vertreten, die das super lecker, reichhaltige Frühstück zu bereitet hat. Echt ein Highlight!!!
Das Hotel liegt in der Nähe einer Bushaltestelle, die Altstadt von Brügge erreicht man fußläufig in ca. 10 Min.

Er was geen badkamer bij onze kamer die ergens achter de eetzaal was verstopt. Ook was er geen fohn en de schoonmaak kon wel extra aandacht verdienen. Er zou parkeergelegenheid aanwezig zijn maar ze vergeten te vermelden dat er €15.00 p/d bijkomt. Het gehele pand kan wel een update gebruiken.

We arrived late at night and the hotel was not that easy to find as no particular sign was visible from the street. Once passed that moment, we pushed the doors of what was a realm of cozyness and calm.
the tiny lounge nearby the entrance was a clear expression of that. Room was big enough to accomodate the four of us, despite the closing of the window was broken, we had a quiet and restful night. Breakfast was huge and a tasty moment to start the day, giving us energy to stroll in Brugges streets.
and our host was kind, warm and helpful.
I warmly recommend the place!!

La struttura avrebbe bisogno di un qualche lavoretto di ristrutturazione, anche il \"giardinetto\" interno su cui affacciava la nostra camera, era tenuto molto male, noi nella nostra camera avevamo il lavandino a fianco del letto, mentre nell'altra camera, attaccato al fondo del letto hanno lasciato un mobile che soffocava ulteriormente la mini stanza!
Per il resto essendo un due stelle forse non ci si deve aspettare di più!
La colazione è spettacolare, buonissima, variegata e molto abbondante, penso sia l'unica cosa che merita un punto più che pieno!
Il perosonale gentilissimo e super disponibile!
