Classy hotel
Pros:

The buffet breakfast was superb! So many choices, just like big hotels in Asia. We also liked the location - it was walking distance to everything. Wish we could have stayed another night.

eerder teleurstellend (zie hierboven)
Pros:

Het ontbijt was oké

Cons:

Geen minibar op de kamer. Geen instapdouche: ik moest als oudere man over de zeer hoge rand van het ligbad stappen waar geen handgrepen in de muur waren. Men moest opstaan van het toilet om aan het papier te kunnen ! Er stond een nespresso-apparaat maar de bijhorende koffiekoppen pasten er niet in ! De kleerkast voor twee volwassenen, en dit bij regenweer, was veel te klein. Om wijs te raken over het functioneren va de kamerverlichting moest er een studie gebeuren waar we na drie dagen en nachten nog niet uitkwamen. De liftpanne die er was kan natuurlijk overal gebeuren en kan hen niet aangerekend worden.

Pros:

Great location, great breakfast and lovely staff. Clean and well designed hotel in the centre of Bruges.

Cons:

Someone set the fire alarm off one night and there was no visible staff for about 5 minutes. Exited the property myself without any guidance until a very stressed security person turned up to say someone showering set it off? (Smoking in their room more like)

Zeer tevreden
Pros:

De locatie dicht bij alles in het centrum. Verder een zeer cleane kamer, een voortreffelijk ontbijt en heel vriendelijk personeel (zowel onthaal, barpersoneel als het kamerpersoneel). Niet iedereen is nederlandstalig maar het personeel is wel vriendelijk, correct en professioneel in hun vakjargon.

Cons:

Het bed (als single sliep ik op een kamer met een één persoonsbed) de matras was veel te zacht
