I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was superb, overlooking a charming branch of the main canals, and the staff was exceptional with their friendly and helpful service. However, my room was a bit noisy being located almost in front of the reception desk, and the dining options, although plentiful, were very basic.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although a bit stuffy initially, were modern and nice, and the staff quickly addressed the issue by providing a fan. However, the hotel could use some maintenance to freshen up its appearance, and the view overlooking the car park was not the most appealing.

The service was top-notch. The staff were so friendly and the location couldn't be beaten. However, during breakfast, there was noisy banging while dishes were being collected. Nonetheless, the check-in process was smooth, and the staff provided us with valuable information about the city.

Location

9.0

The hotel is in a great location, just next to all the attractions in Bruges. It's very close to the center and less than 10 minutes walking distance from the market square. However, the area it led down to seemed fairly unkempt, which was a bit disappointing.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was delightful. The continental-style breakfast offered excellent quality and plenty of options in a stylish breakfast room. It was a good selection, suitable even for vegetarians. However, the dining area was not very big and didn't offer a wide variety of choices.

The hotel had a good selection of facilities. However, some maintenance is required to keep everything up to date.
