Hotel De Pauw

Stay disrupted by fire alarm during the night.!

We were spending a few days in Bruges and this hotel was fine for what we needed. It was a 15 - 20 minute walk to the centre, and a comfortable place to sleep at night.

We went in May. B&B was a 5 minute walk from the centre of Bruges, which to us was an added advantage, as it was quiet and in a very pleasant area. You could walk anywhere within the city and was a very central location for that. We had secure parking for 10 Euros per night. The rooms were very light and comfortable and a very nice en suite shower and toilet. The beds were extremely comfortable and spacious. Not recommended for anyone who cannot climb 2 - 3 floors, as there was no lift and the staircases very very narrow, but that was an additional part of the quaintness of the building. Breakfast was very nice, but there was no full breakfast, which wasnt a problem as far as we were concerned. it was nice to have a light breakfast. Hilde was a lovely hostess and landlady and was always very cheerful and helpful. The only down side would have been if we had gone during the hotter weather, as there was no air conditioning in the room. However, I would recommend it. The only thing you have to be aware of is the cost of food in bruges as it is very expensive. However, there are two or 3 Carrefore supermarkets, so you can at least get a decent priced lunch.

This is a very characterful hotel on the northern side of Bruges. It's not in the centre but we actually enjoyed walking back at night as the canals are illuminated, and it's not really very far. It's very quiet at night, so you get a good night's sleep. Our room was comfortable although the large bathroom had a lot of wasted space with a separate toilet that was really tiny. Staff were friendly. I would be happy to return here.

Everything was perfect, the staff, the location ( away from the busy center but only a 10 minute walk) and the breakfast. I would have taken a harder bed but the room was very clean and comfortable.

We found our room comfortable and clean but small, the bathroom had a rain shower which was excellent. The service provided was very good, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was basic but more than adequate. Carrying bags up the narrow steep staircase to the room was awkward -no lift-. The hotel is a pleasant 7 mins walk from the Markt with shops, restaurants and bars on route. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay again.

Room was warm and quite comfortable, bed was clean and fairly comfortable, though pillows were a bit 'lumpy'. Breakfast was basic, the option of a boiled egg helped but generally didn't expect much more for this reasonably priced small hotel. Very clean. Not too long a walk into town, bus service, if required, was frequent.

We had a 3 night stay and thoroughly enjoyed the time we were there. A great breakfast provided to start the day.

Very good location quiet area but still a 5 min walk to the centre. The pillows werent very comfortable but the rooms were very clean and the owner was friendly. I would definitely stay again if i came back to the area.

Pleasant 2 night stay in a hotel that is similar to a bed and breakfast. The breakfast is very delightful,comfortable and not crowded since there are only 8 rooms in the hotel. The owner is friendly and helpful. The room was a nice size and cozy. The hotel is located across the street from a church…it was nice to wake up to church bells. The bathroom is large but the shower was extremely small. Wifi worked well in the room. They do not accept American Express which is my preferred credit card. Hotel is a little too far to walk to from train station with suitcases so you will need to take a taxi or bus. The walk into the main tourist area is not too far but pretty dark when walking home at night.
