I feel bad writing such a bad review because the staff was amazing and really nice, but I…read moredefinitely wouldn't stay here again. The rooms felt a bit outdated, wish there were outlets near the bed, but my biggest issue was about the cleanliness of the room and how it was outdated. There were spiderwebs in the shower, hair in the bed, the carpet was pretty dirty, and there was even a urine smell from one corner of the room. I should have said something but I wasn't staying long and I already unpacked and didn't want to go through the trouble so I just stayed away from that corner but there was definitely a smell in my room.

We stayed two nights in December at this cozy boutique hotel located overlooking the canal in the…read moreheart of Bruges. Ou room, #12 was up on the 1st (really second) without a scenic river view. During the day they was quite a bit of noise from tourists outside talking and taking photos. Our room was good sized with a faux fireplace and king bed. The large bathroom featured a double vanity, tub/shower combo and toilet. Our room rate included breakfast as well. The room decor could best be described as cozy cottage with subtle floral wall paper, well worn plank floors covered by an oriental rug and tall whitewashed wainscoting. The low ceilings and dark interiors added to the subtly. We arrived quite early on a train from Ghent so weren't able to get into the room but when we returned closer to 3, we were checked in and our rooms were even up already.

I haven't tried the hotel yet - who knows, I might decide to spend a night here one day, since Bredene is one of the closest seaside towns - but I really love the tearoom. It is decorated in subdued tones, the chairs are comfortable, and service is great: you are greeted with a smile - no small feat in Flanders, where non Flemish speakers are often looked down upon. The location is splendid, right in the city centre and very close to the beach. The food and beverages are fine : organic teas, hot cocoa, tasty apple pies - with cinnamon in them, lovely! - and tons of splendidly presented ice-cream. And I'm not even mentioning the waffles and the hot and cold drinks. A neat place to flee the hot July sun or to shelter from the cold autumn wind in Bredene. C'est ici que je viens prendre une tasse de thé, une part de tarte aux pommes accompagnée d'une boule de glace ou une coupe glacée à chaque fois que je passe par Bredene. Je ne sais pas ce que donne l'hôtel, mais je me déciderai peut-être un jour à y passer la nuit, parce Bredene est une des stations balnéaires les plus proches de chez moi. En tout cas, j'adore le salon de thé ! Il est décoré dans des tons pâles et sobres, les chaises sont confortables, et le service est très agréable. On vous accueille avec le sourire, ce qui n'est pas rien dans les Flandres, où trop souvent encore on vous prend de haut quand vous ne parlez pas flamand. Il est très bien situé, en centre ville et juste à côté de la plage. Ce qu'on y trouve à boire et à manger est très bon : des thés bios, des chocolats chauds, une délicieuses tarte à la pomme - à l'anglaise, avec de la cannelle dedans, miam - et tout un tas de coupes de glace merveilleusement présentées. Je ne parlerai même pas des gaufres et des autres boissons chaudes comme froides. C'est l'endroit rêvé pour se protéger des chauds rayons du soleil de juillet, ou pour échapper au vent frais qui souffle à Bredene en automne.

I don't mind it looking old but the shower door doesn't do a thing to keep water in, leaving me with a giant flood in the bathroom each time I shower. The toilet also doesn't flush well at all. It tricked water in which is just enough to remove any trace of a #1 after 20 seconds, but leaves the TP behind. Forget flushing a #2-sorry for the TMI but this would be so much worse if I were not traveling alone! My stay is being sponsored by the meeting I'm attending so I'll stay and not complain but if this were my own money I would certainly be out of here after 1 night. The room is also very warm and I don't think that can be controlled by individual room. I opened the window but it was very loud on the street below so bring earplugs. On the plus side, the breakfast was great and I hear the spa is also very nice but I won't be going because it's no clothing allowed and mixed gender. I understand that is normal here,, but is it normal to go with your coworkers?! I'm confused.. especially with friends and family, but is it normal to go nude with your coworkers?! I'm confused... ‍

Nostalgic, stylish and old-fashion brasserie where young and old m'as tu vu of Ostend gathers. Anyone gets in, but it helps to get friendly with the waiters, who are the real masters of this universe. Check the half-n-half, the slow coffee and the classic shrimp croquettes. No music, just conversation.
