“OK, despite not really a 4 star hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I spent 3 nights at the Portinari during a congress in Bruges. We selected this hotel amongst the hotels proposed by the congress organization for the location: walking distance from the congress center, and from the restaurants. The hotel is affectively nicely located, with a very convenient (and cheap) public car park. The hotel claims 4 stars, but the room that I got was rather small. Same impression for the bathroom: small, old and low quality equipment. A good point is the good selection of TV channels, and fast WIFI at a reasonable price (5 € for 24 hours on line). Breakfast is OK. The general impression is that the hotel would need some renovation to fit be a real 4 star.

“Good location, for NYE”

Overall good hotel. Slight smell as you walk into the lobby. Luckily we were on the 5th floor so the smell disappeared. Great location overlooking T'Zand square. Excellent new years eve celebrations in the square. Staff were very helpful during our stay, breakfast was good with plenty of selection including hot options. Decor throughout the hotel was very modern and tasteful. Would recommend staying at this hotel especially over the New Year period.

“Lovely staff, clean rooms, central location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011 via mobile

Shortish walk from the station near to centre of town. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms unassuming but very clean. Reasonable price

This hotel is in a great spot in bruges just 5 minutes walk from the town centre. There are many bars and restaurants nearby.
The hotel itself is not 4star. Breakfast is ok but our room was really dated and shabby and the staff could have been friendlier.

“Disappointing and not 4 stars”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed here in September for one night and really regret it.
I read other tripadvisor reviews about the smell and hoped (mistakenly) that the problem would have been fixed, however our room and all of the hallways were filled with an unpleasant smell.
Aside from this, the rooms were VERY basic, haven't been refurbished or even cosmetically maintained in a long time and the bathroom felt like a hostel bathroom. It was small, awkardly designed and the shower was very cramped with plastic doors that didn't close properly, so we ended up with a flooded bathroom floor after showering.
We booked through lastminute.com and our booking showed that the room included wifi, however upon requesting it on check-in, we were told we'd have to pay for it.
In spite of the 2 star quality of the hotel, the location is excellent - it is less than ten minutes walk to the Markt Square and we didn't have any problems with noise, however our room was facing towards Markt Square and not towards the nightclubs on the main street below.
Buffet breakfast was standard, however we waited for 20 minutes before the hot food was replenished. Overall disappointing. This hotel may once have been 4 star quality however now I think it is two, at most three stars however I've stayed in better three star hotels.
Not recommended.

Room Tip: If you decide to stay here, ask for a room facing back towards the Markt Square (south) as they'...
