Everything was beyond our expectations. The actual hotel we booked was closed for a few days but as soon as we got there they sent us to a sister hotel and upgraded us. No extra charges. Super nice staff. Everything was spotless. Five stars.
Clean room, very helpful staff with a bar available.

Staff were lovely, breakfast was great, what let this down a little was the rooms. There were no thrills. The reception areas were beautiful but when you come up to the bedrooms, they were bland, basic and lack no inspiration at all.

Centrally located. Great breakfast. Comfortable clean room.
Excellent stay! This hotel is situated in the city centre of Bruges, yet away from the very touristy hot spots and in an area with lots of restaurants, fast food options, bars and shops. Very clean room and they surprised us for our anniversary. The breakfast was very tasty and with lots of good options. We will be returning when back to Bruges. We couldn’t have expected anything better!
Hotel was beautiful, staff were lovely, breakfast had so many different options too which was good. Only thing that let the stay down slightly was the bed, it was really uncomfortable and the pillows were very flat so I had to order more to the room.
2nd holiday at this hotel, same great experience and the staff are amazing, nothing is to much for them to do for you. The breakfast is amazing and plenty full. Rooms cleaned every day with everything topped up. Can’t fault this hotel. Looking to book for next year again.

The biggest frustration was we paid the same price as our friends, they had a large better condition room, ours was pokey and not as modern. We booked the same room type and paid over €200 a night but got a lower quality room. So make sure you get what you pay for
Very nice & warm welcome at reception, polite and helpful staff, all areas of the hotel are clean & comfortably lit, fresh & tidy room, the breakfast selection is very wide & hot food well cooked
Location is perfect! Staff were very attentive and accommodating, Room was clean and breakfast was great too! Great hotel for a weekend away! I will definitely stay again! Thank you
