We had an amazing experience staying at the Hotel Rubens. It is a very nice hotel on a quiet street one street over from Grote Markt. We booked a room with a cathedral view, so we were on the top floor with a view of the top of the cathedral. It was so quiet and lovely. The rooms have recently been remodeled, so the room was much bigger and nicer than we expected. We had a separate sitting area with TV and a very nice, modern bathroom.
Our booking included a free breakfast which was also amazing. They offer a large assortment of hot and cold items; the usual standard breakfast fare, but it was very nice. One of the staff members, Thomas, helped us a bunch when we had a little trouble with the subway system and wanted to take the above ground tram instead. He was very helpful and also printed us some time tables for our train to Bruges. The hotel also gave me a small gift since we were there to celebrate my birthday! It was so nice and thoughtful and I would highly recommend this hotel to all of my friends. read more
