“Good location, average rooms back in 2004”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2011

I stayed here for 3 nights, in June 2004, so this is a much belated review. The room I stayed in was modestly furnished, and the bed too cramped against a wall. Bathroom was clean and well equipped. The restaurant was good but a bit expensive. Hotel was located in city centre, near main square and walking distance to the museums and cathedral. I would recommend this hotel for budget travellers who want a central location with good restaurants nearby.

“Loved the hotel; HATED the bed.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

I stayed here with my husband for 2 nights.
The location is wonderful. Right on a main street in Bruges a block or two away from the main square, and the view from our room was amazing! There was street noise during the day, but it wasn't a bother at night. This hotel is said to be a great hotel for beer lovers. We were on a beer trip to Belgium, and it is true that the hotel's restaurant has a good beer selection. But I don't see how you can say that the hotel itself is good for beer lovers - just the restaurant part.
The room was small, as was the bathroom. The biggest problem we had with this hotel was the bed. I know that many european hotels just push two twin beds together to make a queen bed, but this was horrible. It wasn't just two twin mattresses pushed together, but two twin beds, complete with wooden bed frames. That meant that there was a BIG and uncomfortable gap in the middle of the bed, that actually HURT to lay on because the wood from the sides of both beds stuck into you. So my husband and I each had to lay on our own side of the bed. Even doing that, the gap widened during the night as the beds pushed apart.
There was supposed to be internet in the room, but it didn't work. We had to go down the restaurant to use internet.
The staff speaks English, the restaurant was pretty good, and the location was great.

“Poor service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010

I recently went to Bruges with my wife and baby daughter and during the course of our visit we stopped at Hotel Erasmus. The waiter asked if we were stopping for lunch or just drinks. We said we were just stopping fro drinks. The waiter then looked down his nose at us and said 'oh English'. We were then left to sit at our table feeling awkward while others came in and were served and received their drinks. After 30 minutes of being ignored by the waiter we decided to leave.

“Personal service from owner. Most extensive beer collection. Nice location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2010

Located in the heart of the old town, on the canal. The owner can give you advice on the various local chocolate stores that are so unique.

“Great location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2010

We found our stay here to be great! The location was perfectly located to all the restaurants, shopping and things to do. If you are a light sleeper, the noise outside at night might bother you. It didn't bother me, though. The bed was very comfortable and the room had a great view of the street below. The owner was very friendly and helpful when we had questions about where certain things were.

We also ate in the restaurant downstairs for dinner one night. It was a little pricey, but very tasty. I would recommend eating there if you want to splurge a little.
