Everything was perfect excepted the mattress is too soft and it makes your back pain. For Breakfast : Suggestion on all vegan drink, please make sure that the open date is not too long that suggested on the box otherwise the taste gonna gone off like I experienced Chocolate Soya ( it tasted sour already) Also, it would be nice if you have the signs tell what each item is due to not everyone knows and some they don’t eat pork, beef or chicken.

Fantastic hotel! I stayed here for a business trip back in 2007, and returning in 2026, it feels just as welcoming. The hotel facilities are great, the environment is clean and hygienic, and the front desk staff are incredibly warm and patient. The restaurant is excellent, and the bedding is wonderfully comfortable! Definitely recommend!

A great find - this super-clean and modern hotel was perfect for an overnight stop.  Rooms were very clean with everything needed in case you’d forgotten your bathroom bits.   Lovely restaurant with superb breakfast.  Good choice for evening snacks or dinner too.  Located just on the outskirts of Bruges it’s a 3km walk into the main square, perfect for us.  Lovely lady on reception was so kind and helpful, making check-in so easy.  Surrounded by a field of sheep one side and cute little pathway the other, a real little gem.  Highly recommend.  One mention is the room windows are terrifyingly dangerous and the pillows aren’t the best!

I originally stayed at a guesthouse the night before, but was dissatisfied with its cleanliness, so I switched to this hotel the next day. The front desk staff were very friendly, and the room was spacious. The room itself deserves special mention; it had a high ceiling of at least five meters and a magnificent chandelier with adjustable brightness. The bathroom had a window, was spacious, and even had a stool – impeccable attention to detail. The toiletries were L'Occitane. It's a two-minute walk to the No. 1 bus stop for Bruges train station, making transportation extremely convenient; a public laundry is a five-minute walk away; and the Basilica of the Holy Blood and other attractions are just minutes away. The front desk staff and manager were attentive and responsible, and the check-in and luggage storage process was very smooth. Highly recommended!

The hotel is located in the heart of Bruges, just a few steps from the Grand Place and the channels. The decor mixes history and modernity with a lot of taste. It is a perfect room, delicate breakfast and a personal care. The ideal location to discover Bruges on foot.

The four bed room is very nice. The mattresses and pillows are comfortable. There are toilets and showers nearby. The hostile location isn't necessarily Central, but you can walk to the attractions in about 10 to 15 minutes. The bus stop is only about a 3 minute walk away. The staff are friendly, and the restaurant / bar is nice to have. There are other restaurants nearby as well.

The hotel is basic no frills but was perfect for us for a couple of nights. We booked a triple room for myself my husband and our 11 year old son. The room was huge and also had a little kitchen area which was great. The location is great right off the main square. There is not air con but they do provide a large fan which was enough to cool the room when sleeping. The shower room had a shower over a bath tub which had great pressure and the towels provided are lovely and fluffy. The staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again

The hotel was difficult to locate as there was no clear signage. Due to limited space, they did not allow us to store our luggage, so we had to bring everything back to the train station to use lockers, which meant extra cost for us. I understand that the official check-in time is 3pm, but since we booked three rooms, some flexibility—such as allowing us to place our luggage in one room—would have been appreciated. Other hotels have offered this when we faced similar situations. The room was also very noisy as the train station is right next door. Light sleepers should avoid this hotel. The staff’s service was average, nothing particularly noteworthy. Aside from these issues, everything else was fine.
