A good hotel in a good location

I was very happy with my stay in this hotel. I would happily stay here again. The only small complaint I would have is that the bed was quite soft.

Family hotel

The hotel is on the 133 bus route, 4 stops from the station or a 25-minute walk (very straightforward). I was very impressed by the condition of my room. It was clean and spacious, the WiFi was excellent and the shower very good. The breakfast was also very good quality. My only issue was that it is very much a family hotel and the small children in the room above me ran back and forwards like a herd of elephants until late at night.

We cannot fault our stay. Room was clean and of a good size. The staff were all helpful and it was a short walk to the main attractions. Would recommend.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good hotel overall. Service at front desk and bar were a bit slow at times, although very friendly Breakfast buffet is only a decent value if bringing children that eat free. Very overpriced otherwise for the selection offered.

Great location, you can go to the main attraction walking or take the bus, your choice. Dinner was not the best and overpriced, better to go out and enjoy a better meal same price.

Good hotel but check the AC

Everything was ok except the AC was not working, or rather barely. I should have told them right away but did not. The location is quite good close to shops, restaurants, laundry and so much more. The river is right across. Everything else was fine!

Ulrik, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Having stayed in Novotels before, i knew what to expect from them. I would say that the hotel was good but having stayed in the Brugge Novotel the night before, we couldnt help but be a little disappointed. Our room was adequate for what we needed, albeit, a little small. The only downside was that our room was SO HOT (end of October)- we had the thermostat turned to the lowest setting but ended up having the window open (that faces the main road, with busy traffic all night), throughout the night, so that we could feel comfortable enough to sleep (although sleep with the noisy traffic was just as hard!). We didnt have breakfast at the hotel, as at €24 pp, it was far too expensive. The hotel is located about a 20 minute walk from the city centre. It was too far for our youngest to walk, so we got buses and a taxi (€15) back. We used the car park during our stay. Considering it is the hotel car park, we couldnt believe that hotel residents we being charged such a high price to stay there and that no discounts were offered. It was €64 for our parking for 3 nights! Overall, an ok stay but I wouldnt return there.
