Muy caro para lo que ofrece
Pros:

El desayuno estaba bien, en un salón muy bonito y todo muy cuidado.

Cons:

La habitación es muy pequeña, dos personas no se pueden mover, el “lavabo” es de juguete, no hay apenas sitio para dejar la ropa y el equipaje. Teníamos que subir tres pisos sin ascensor y descalzarnos abajo, porque la escalera tenía moqueta.

Pros:

La struttura è in una buona posizione e si raggiunge facilmente il centro di Bruges a piedi , c'è un posteggio riservato a pagamento comodo anche se non coperto, è all'interno di un cortile in un edificio in fronte all'hotel . Hotel piccolino ma accogliente nell'unica parte comune che è quella dove vengono servite le colazioni. Gentile il personale.

Cons:

non abbiamo avuto occasione di vedere le camere al primo e secondo piano ma noi purtroppo eravamo al terzo e sinceramente la camera è molto piccola con un bagno interno dotato di una doccia di buone dimensioni ma con un lavandino piccolissimo al limite dell'utilizzo. Per onestà devo dire che siamo capitati in una settimana con temperature esterne veramente elevate e probabilmente fuori dalla norma ma la camera era veramente calda e senza aria condizionata, dotata di un ventilatore a piantana. Per raggiungere la camera ci sono tre rampe di scale ripide e strette e non c'è ascensore.

Familiär geführte Pension in Zentrumnähe mit sehr gutem Frühstück
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels, das eigentlich eine Pension ist, ist nur 10 Minuten vom Zentrum. Das Frühstück ist abwechslungsreich und reichlich.

Cons:

Das Zimmerfenster ließ sich nicht auf Kipp stellen. Die Badezimmertür war nur provisorisch. Ferner hätte man schon in der Buchungsbeschreibung darauf hinweisen sollen, dass im Bereich der Hotelzimmer keine Schuhe erlaubt sind.

Comfortable stay with good location.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was pretty central.

Cons:

No Aircon and when windows were open, very noisy road made it difficult to sleep.
Parking is in a secure courtyard opposite. When busy, a bit tricky to park.

Leuk week-endje Brugge
Pros:

Zeer uitgebreid en lekker ontbijtbuffet.
Eigenares gaf zeer interessante toeristische tips.

Cons:

Ontvangst in het Engels, dame schoot in paniek toen we antwoorden in het Nederlands, waar ze niks van begreep. Brugge ligt toch in Vlaanderen en niet in Engeland.
