“Historic and friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here over bank holiday weekend, and although it wasn't first choice (the small central hotels fill up quickly!) it worked well.

We booked a standard room, and found it to be clean and comfortable with a view of the Belfort. It was on the second floor of the hotel and a good size for two, although bathroom was a little cramped. Some fixtures and fittings on the tired side, but perfectly fine to use - and the bed was very comfortable. Everything you need including a small wardrobe, armchair, reading lamps and sachets of shampoo etc. A shared hairdryer (better than the usual fitted ones in more expensive hotels!) was available on each floor.

Good breakfast although the boiled eggs are microwaved... plenty to choose from however and available till mid-morning.

Beautiful and historic house on a pretty and very tranquil street, seconds from a picturesque canal bridge for that first sense of Bruges and only five minutes from the Markt and Burg squares.

Finally, excellent welcome from the host who very kindly allowed us to leave our luggage all day after we checked out! Many thanks.

“A hidden gem providing great service in an excellent location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2010

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights over november/december 2010 and were extremely impressed. We have stayed in Bruges many times invariably at the Best Western Navarra which although nice is quite pricey. The Karel de stoute hotel however is as nice and in as good a location for a third of the price - how do they do it? The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was more than sufficient and in a beautiful dining room. There are only 9 bedrooms but it doesn't seem tiny. Towels were changed every day. We have no complaints whatsoever. We would definitely stay again and recommend it highly.

“Fantastic hotel with excellent friendly owner and location is perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2010

What a fantastic long weekend we had at this hotel/B&B. Perfect location being central yet just off the beaten track so lovely and quiet. It is a perfect little hotel/B&B Id recommend to all. Decor is lovely, and bar downstairs is just georgous. Owners, Daphne and Winke are really lovely. Winke (who happens to speak all languages fluently! ) directed us to several places to eat and we werent disappointed once. Bruges is a beautiful place and we had the most amazing weekend. ........Grateful thanks to Winke, he has such a sense of humour ...his breakfasts were gorg too. A gem of a place to which one day we will return!

“Good Budget Hotel, But Mind the Stairs”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This is clearly a budget hotel and is really overdue for some work, but it suited our needs just fine. On the map it doesn't look central, but it is only a five minute walk from Market Square and away from the noise. The breakfast was good with bread, cheese, meat, and cereal. I had a large room on the top floor. It had a queen size bed, table and a couch. The two windows started near the floor and there were no screens, so opening the windows for any reason requires caution. My bathroom had a tub and a hand held shower head, but no curtain, so showering required good dexterity to avoid soaking the whole bathroom. Also, mind the stairs! The carpeted stairs from the lobby to the first floor are steep and the top step is slanted down. The stairs to the second floor are very steep, narrow, and a bit rickety.

If you are on a budget and don't mind the drawbacks, this is a decent place to stay in a good location.

“Great local establishment with tasty breakfast, kind manager”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel can boast an interesting history (was formerly owned by either Charles the Bold or a relative), a nice breakfast, lovely wooden touches, nice rooms, and a great manager.

We stayed during the ash crisis so things were quiet, and the hotel staff took time to answer all of our questions about the surrounding area, sights to see, food to try. We also received a call on the night of our stay to confirm our arrival.

Location is great, price was good, and I wouldn't have picked a different place!!
