Insight Guides "Most people fall in love with this lovely brick hotel by a quiet, tree-lined canal close to the centre. It is an irresistible building, with old wooden staircases and heavy oak furniture."

DK Eyewitness "A small hotel in a row of 15th-century houses overlooking the canal, Die Swaene is right in the centre of Bruges, close to the Burg."

DK Eyewitness "Centrally located...the Jan Brito occupies an attractive 16th-century building with a stepgabled, brick façade."
Frommer's "A fine example of the type of classy hotel that Bruges does so well, the Jan Britto has elegant period accommodations tucked behind an historic facade." Full review

Frommer's "A fine example of the type of classy hotel that Bruges does so well, the Jan Britto has elegant period accommodations tucked behind an historic facade; in this case a listed 16th-century town house on a backwater side street" Full review
