Views of the canal are really not worth requesting, and weak soundproofing can jar light sleepers out of bed in the front rooms.
Condé Nast Traveler "The experience will be classic Bruges at this subtly regal hotel, steps to the Markt. Rooms are surprisingly spacious, and the library and bar with fireplace both elegant." Full review
