Stilvolles Hotel mit kleinen Mängeln
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt ganz in der Innenstadt, man kann alles schnell zu Fuß erreichen.
Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und lecker.
Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Die Zimmer und Betten sind gemütlich und bequem. Es gibt Tee und Kaffee auf dem Zimmer.

Cons:

In Zimmer 4 war das Badezimmer sehr klein. Das Waschbecken so winzig, dass man beim Zähneputzen und Waschen den Kopf schief halten muss und trotzdem viel Wasser daneben geht. Der Druck aus der Brause ist leider so gering, dass wenig Wasser läuft und man mehr Zeit zum Duschen braucht.
Es gibt wenig Steckdosen.
Es gibt kaum Parkplätze am Hotel, die nur für wenige Stunden für viel Geld genutzt werden können. Einen Parkplatz gibt es bei Reservierung ein paar Minuten zu Fuß entfernt für 20€ pro Nacht.

Pros:

Personal muy amable, el desayuno completo y muy bueno y en cantidad. Camas cómodas y lavabo nuevo. Ubicación muy buena y nada de ruido, se descansaba muy bien, repetiría sin duda.

Cons:

Por poner algo, las escaleras, empinadas y con escalones muy estrechitos, apenas cambian mis pies y tengo un 37. Pero ya lo sabíamos porque le leí los comentarios. Si no tienes problemas de movilidad no son un impedimento para alojarte ahí.

Super Lage, aber sehr warmes Zimmer
Pros:

Die Lage ist super. Gut ist auch die Möglichkeit, einen Parkplatz zu mieten, was man in Brügge unbedingt auch machen sollte. Allerdings ist es schon nicht einfach, den Parkplatz zu finden.

Cons:

Die Heizung war defekt, man konnte sie nicht ausschalten, wodurch sich das kleine Zimmer sehr schnell extrem aufgeheizt hat. Es wurde leider auch keine Lösung dafür gefunden.

Pros:

Hotel muy bonito.
Tenía buen aroma todo el lugar (como a manzana verde) y era muy limpio.
La recepcionista fue muy amable, nos dio las instrucciones en inglés, pero también habla español.
Queda a 30 minutos aprox de la estación de tren, que se tornan muy cortos pues vas conociendo la ciudad.
El desayuno tenía té, café, distintas leches, panes, y dulces.
