“Ok,but not a 4 star”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Academie for 2 nights during half term. The hotel itself was clean and tidy, and most of all it was warm(helpful as it was -10 outside). The bathroom was lovely and clearly refitted. As nice as our stay was, we did have a couple of problems: firstly our room was almost impossible to lock, though we eventually manged it..however the cleaner clearly didn't as when we returned from an excursion during the day, the room had been left unlocked, not great as we were opposite the gym. Secondly we had no bin....this might not seem bad but just think about it! And the clincher for us, and what clearly doesn't make this a 4 star were the plastic cups for tea/coffee. I say tea and coffee, but this '4 star' only leaves 2 coffee sachets, 2 tea bags, 2 creamer powers and 2 sugars- any more and you have to pay!what a joke!

Location is fantastic and you can park underneath, though watch out as there were roadworks blocking the road to the hotel, though no-one bothered to let us know from the hotel and warn us.....perhaps something a 4star hotel would do?

Resurants just down the lane of the hotel are fantastic and much cheaper than those on the main market square.

We would stay here again but not for the £80 per night which we paid, probably only for half that.

“Excellent hotel in an excellent location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I stayed in Hotel Academie for two nights in mid-December 2011. The rooms were clean and spacious and the building itself was very modern - above average, I'd say, for a four star hotel in the city centre of Brugges. The view from the room was breath-taking: looking out upon houses that had been standing for as long as the 13th Century! The hotel itself is within walking distance from the city centre, Belfort Tower and the train station, plus there are plenty of restaurants within easy reach for an evening meal. I found myself spoilt for choice at breakfast time and would definitely stay in Hotel Academie again!

“Great Stay!”

This hotel is in a great location!! It is not right on the square so the restaurants around it are a lot less expensive with great food! Our room was nice and clean with an excellent bathroom. This was one of the quietest rooms we've stayed in.

“Recommended for a stay in Bruges.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

people found this review helpful

I stayed in hotel Aademie for three nights during December 2011.

The rooms were clean and very modern with what you would expect from a 3/4 star hotel in a city centre.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, walking distance from the centre of the city and the train station.

I paid €225 for three nights which represented good value for money.

If you are looking for a hotel for a couple of nights stay in Bruges, I would highly recommend hotel Academie.

I would also like to pay a special thanks to the receptionist Vanessa for helping to arrange my travel to the Uk when a general strike was taking place in Belgium. She went out of her way to help my girlfriend and I and we are extremely grateful.

“Great hotel, good location but breakfast was very disappointing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

people found this review helpful

Great hotel in a good location close to the main square and belfort tower (only a few mins walk away).

It is quite a basic hotel but it was clean and the room was quite spacious.

Unfortunately the breakfast was awful. Disappointing most food in Belgium is excellent, but it was all tinned fruit, concentrated juice etc and very little choice and wasn't topped up frequently.

The hotel doesnt have a car park but there is a public car park nearby (8,40 euros for 24 hours so not bad).

The hotel bar was lovely - good atmosphere just before christmas, played carols etc. the owner and bar staff were very friendly and helpful. the drinks weren't too expensive. we enjoyed our drinks at the bar and would like to return again to this hotel (but will be avoiding breakfast!!!)
