Picked this hotel due to its central location and due to the fact it would be around minus 3 to 5 whilst we were in Bruges so we didn’t want to traipse around too far at night.
We had a three night midweek stay in room 1107 which faced the road not the canal (couldn’t afford the extra Euros), noise from the road wasn’t a problem, might be an issue in the summer with the windows open though.
The room wasn’t cheap (you have to leave a deposit if you’d like a bathrobe) but having said that neither is Bruges!! The hotel and the room were immaculately clean with plenty of wardrobe space, a really comfy bed with the bathroom being fitted out with a walk in shower and bath. Walk in showers or wet rooms are a good idea especially if there are two of you and you fancy a back scrub - but they never drain quickly enough and that creates the problem of having to mop the floor with whatever is available............. Nobody wants wet feet whilst using the toilet do they!
The air-conditioning worked well keeping us nice and toasty during our stay.
The staff pleasant and very attentive especially the lady in the bar with the shiny black shoes - breakfast was plentiful with the hot and cold food constantly re-stocked – watch out for the boiled eggs they have them split, one side being...Picked this hotel due to its central location and due to the fact it would be around minus 3 to 5 whilst we were in Bruges so we didn’t want to traipse around too far at night.

The staff pleasant and very attentive especially the lady in the bar with the shiny black shoes - breakfast was plentiful with the hot and cold food constantly re-stocked – watch out for the boiled eggs they have them split, one side being 3.5 minutes and the other 10 minutes. However, on our second day rather cheekily they swapped them over and I ended up with a hard egg instead of soft - luckily for me the wife likes an hard egg and she woofed it down.
Good selection of bars and restaurants if you turn right outside the front door and walk towards the canal – found a few bars off the beaten track that were welcoming with excellent beers at reasonable prices.More
