Absolutely gorgeous hotel, the friendliest staff you can encounter, best location in the entire city and a killer breakfast. It's a no brainer, the best hotel to stay to enjoy Brugges.

Guillermo Mexico

Don't be fooled by the location--above a café on the market square. You have to enter through the café, which is owned by the same couple who run the hotel. There's no elevator but the rooms are nice and comfortable, and there's no noise from the restaurant below. The rooms are good sized, with plenty of storage. The owners are helpful and accommodating. The breakfast buffet, for nine euros, is well worth it, with a variety of dishes and attentive wait staff. Very close to all the major attractions.

It was in the perfect location for sightseeing in the historic center. The room had an amazing view of the Belfry tower and was really clean. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We read that you could hear the tower bells but we never did, not sure if that is helpful for anyone or not. We would highly recommend this place.

Balkovic United States of America

Beautiful , large room, well located with a great Breakfast. All around super!

Elizabeth Germany

Had a fantastic stay. Will definitely return! Prime location and great service. The hotel manager made our stay exceptional. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Leane Belgium

Very good and polite staff A very positive experience in general

Jalel Belgium

The staff was amazing, welcoming and trusts his customers. Right in the centre of the market. Everything is closeby. The buses, market and a supermRket. There is a nightshop for some late booze if u prefer. The room is cozy and has a very good market view. The markrt view is worth it. The breakfast is filling and the food waate is in control. We barely threw any food and got the right amount.

Loveleen Belgium

Great breakfast (included in price), great location, at the Markt (central square) of Bruges, small but modern room with very nice bathroom, good deal for your money.

Kim Netherlands

Excellent location, lovely staff, super breakfast. Rooms are small and spare, but clean and functional - and who wants to stay in the room with all of Brugge at your doorstep?

Melissa Germany

Such friendly staff! Super clean! Excellent location. Awesome bathroom, fantastic roomy hot shower.
