What a quaint, cozy, family-run hotel in an excellent location right next to the bus station. The breakfast was outstanding. There is no elevator but the owner graciously carried our bags upstairs.

Sweet, intimate hotel with wonderful hospitality. The location is convenient, walkable from the train station but on the outskirts of the old town and quiet at night. Excellent breakfast included, served at your table. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Recommended highly.

The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. The property was very clean and well maintained with lots of charming Easter decorations. The continental breakfast was fresh every morning, the bread, rolls and pastries straight from the bakers and the lovely helpful waitress couldn’t do enough to cater to everyone’s requests. She encouraged the guests to take away any leftovers for lunch or picnics.

Wow!
Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly man who gave us a discount card to use at attractions around Bruges. The room was 32 and on the 3rd floor. Very clean, good space and new bathroom. Nice touch that the toilet was separate. Comfy bed!
The ladies at breakfast were so accommodating and friendly, we felt like we were being looked after so well. I have coeliac disease and they made sure I had 2 yummy gf rolls and pastries each morning. We had ham, cheeses, fruits, yogurts and were offered scrambled or boiled eggs too and unlimited cups of cappuccinos. Absolutely loved our stay here and would love to return one day to see beautiful Bruges again. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at Albert 1. Check in was easy and as there was no elevator we were given assistance to get our luggage up to our room. We parked across the street at the centrum Zand interpark , very close.
The breakfast was amazing and the ladies serving were so friendly and accommodating! The location can’t be beat as it is right across from the historic center. We did the beer and waffle making class and it was a great way to spend a rainy afternoon.
We would stay here again if ever in Bruges!
