Clean and simple hotel, we stayed one night, all staff were lovely, room was basic but with everything we needed. No noise from other rooms and on a quiet street with cheap parking just down the road by the library.

A nice quiet hotel in a convenient location
We enjoyed our stay. Since we had a late arrival due to late train ride, they were very accommodating for our check-in despite front desk being closed.

The property is in a perfect location for our chosen activities and for access to all the wonderful dining options Bruges has to offer. The hotel staff was helpful and accommodating.
Our room was simple and efficient with everything we needed for our few days in the city.
