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."
Star Service "Dating back to the 15th century, this small, luxurious hotel overlooks a canal in the most picturesque and historical part of the city." Full review
