Gut für ein Städte Trip
Pros:

Die Lage ist hervorragend, tolles Hotel voll mit Antiquitäten. Das Frühstück war ausreichend. Für ein kurz Aufenthalt ist es ein genau richtig. Empfang und Auskunft an der Rezeption sind sehr freundlich. Privater Parkplatz ggü. dem Hotel ist sehr gut wenn man mit dem Auto unterwegs ist.

Cons:

Leider ist das Hotel in die Jahre gekommen, ein Sanierung würde dem schönen Haus guttun. Es ist an vielen Orten in einem schlechten Zustand und sehr schmudelig. Unser Zimmer hat schlecht gerochen und war dunkel. Kaum Ablage im Bad und das WC ist fast auseinander gefallen. Preis Leistung stimmt nicht mehr.

Pas à la hauteur d'un 4 étoiles
Pros:

L'accueil du personnel était sympathique. L'emplacement de l'hôtel est central.

Cons:

L'hôtel est affiché comme un 4 étoiles. C'est loin de correspondre à la réalité. Les équipements sont vieux et les finitions dans les chambres laissent à désirer (trous de vis dans les murs, sèche-cheveux écaillé, sol de douche instable, arrière des lavabos plein de calcaire). Les chambres sont indiquées comme étant insonorisées, ce n'est pas le cas. Notre chambre était au rez-de-chaussée, à côté d'un local technique, nous entendions tout ce qui se passait dans le couloir. Le pire a été le petit-déjeuner. Payé 25 euros par personne pour deux nuits, soit 100 euros au total. Il était loin d'être copieux et rien n'était bon. Pain et croissants racis, charcuterie et fromage pas frais, même les céréales contenues dans des bocaux en verre étaient racies, comme si elles étaient stockées là depuis des semaines sans être changées. Nous avons fait le choix pour le 2e jour d'aller prendre un petit déjeuner en dehors de l'hôtel, pour ne pas être à nouveau déçus. Lorsqu'on a remonté l'info à la direction, la seule réponse obtenue a été de nous dire d'aller voir les commentaires en ligne qui étaient tous bons. Après vérification c'est justement loin d'être le cas ! Compte tenu du prix total payé, le standing n'est clairement pas au rdv. Nous n'y retournerons pas.

Friendly Boutique Hotel
Pros:

Fantastic location. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, particularly the night porter. Quirky decor.

Cons:

Unfortunately we had a problem with our air conditioning and it was very hot. The staff did their best to get this resolved.
Being an old building, the public areas had no A/C and so were not comfortable to use which was a shame. However, it was extremely hot during our visit so this may not usually be an issue.

Excellent central hotel with history character in every room
Pros:

The hotel is a lovely building full of lovely things. I've never taken so many photos inside a hotel and our room. The lounge was exceptional and the bar appreciated.
The air-conditioning in our room was exceptionally quiet but coped with unprecedented heat admirably. We spent the afternoons relaxing there when it was too hot yo be out.
The location is excellent for both Brugge Central, parks and other walks for the dog. Plenty of eateries, shops and entertainment nearby.
The staff are very friendly and our dog was welcome in the communal areas and at breakfast which was much appreciated.

Cons:

The breakfast was adequate but not great. There were glorious communal rooms and we had a little patio but all were too hot to use. This was in a heatwave so not attaching blame. But unfortunately these temperatures are likely to become more common. So more fans or air-conditioning in the lounge, breakfast room and foyer will be needed.

After a stay here you feel refreshed, pampered and positive!
Pros:

Quirky. Spacious. Lovely to look at. The room was spacious and the fact that the shower room was separate from the toilet was welcome. The breakfast was just the ticket and the scrambled eggs were the best I ever tasted. The staff were always smiling and helpful. Marlene was superb in giving us tips about the city in terms of walks, history, chocolate and waffles. She pointed us to the oldest cafe in Brugge. Her recommendations on locations to eat at were spot on! Eliza at breakfast was also very accommodating. The lobby was comfortable and the lounge was massive and a pleasure to reside in.

Cons:

Nothing
