My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room, although cosy and vintage, could benefit from some updating. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very welcoming and helpful. The location was ideal, just a block from the canal and the heart of Bruges. The dining experience was satisfying, with a nice selection of food. However, the rooms were clean and comfortable, offering tea making facilities. The hotel provides value for money with its friendly staff and great location.

I truly loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and comfortable, had tea making facilities, and offered a great view on the top floor. The very big double bed provided a restful night's sleep, and the breakfast was delicious. The staff was extremely friendly, and the hotel's proximity to central spots while still being very quiet was a huge plus. However, the rooms were a bit thin-walled, allowing us to hear our arguing neighbors at times.

The location was perfect! Right off the main square, it only took a couple of minutes to walk there, yet it was far enough to ensure a peaceful night's sleep. Being close to the canals and central squares of Bruges added to the charm. Additionally, the proximity to a reasonably priced public car park was very convenient.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience! The rooms were extremely comfortable, quiet, and had standard showers, making it a safe choice for travelers. The owners were incredibly friendly, offering elevator access for suitcases and storing luggage before and after check-in/check-out. However, the dining options were limited, which could be improved.
