“the WiFi from Hades”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

After researching hotels on Expedia, I booked this hotel through Booking.com for 2 rooms for 5 nights for my husband, myself and our daughter. Unlike "Junco," we were not offered an upgrade option. The primary reasons for selecting this hotel were proximity to town center and attractions, option for breakfast, and the free WiFi. The location couldn't be better --- safe neighborhood when coming in after dark, easy walk to sights and restaurants, and relatively quiet for sleeping. As regards the breakfast, if I were to book here again, I would opt out. My husband absolutely must have his breakfast first off in the morning so we always include breakfast. By our fourth morning, our daughter had declined to begin her day with their buffet and I joined her at a nearby marvelous patisserie. By the next morning, my husband had joined us. Mind you, we are not picky eaters but some semblance of variety is appreciated. I particularly was saddened by the apparent lack of freshness to the breads and pastries. My musings were answered one morning at when we were standing on the hotel's front sidewalk and we overheard a bakery's delivery man stating that he needed a certain door opened up so that he could deliver the breakfast products --- obviously, for the following day since the time was 11a.m.! On to the WiFi. We truly required reliable WiFi as my husband needed daily contact with his business stateside and our daughter's overseas job mandated WiFi accessibility. Over the course of our five nights, I would guess that we had access only about 40% of the time that we were in the hotel. The front desk was truly helpful in attempting to correct the trouble, but to no avail. We would routinely suggested their need to contact their general manager about the situation as we couldn't possibly have been the only guests with this need. For our purposes, we resorted to my iphone and ipad to provide what the hotel had promised but failed to deliver in a reliable manner. My bottom line was that I added about $150 to the next bill from my phone carrier! On the afternoon of our final full day in Bruges, the desk clerk noted that we were free to use the business center of the Aragon's sister hotel in the city; this was the first time we had heard of this alternative, as inconvenient as it would have been. The offer was certainly kind but impractical. On the morning we checked out, I mustered all my Southern politeness to ask about the possibility of some small reduction in the bill for our not receiving what we had been promised as a "feature" of the hotel. I was politely advised that would not be possible. When my equally polite Southern husband went down to settle the bill, he again raised the issue of an amendment to the tab and he, likewise, was denied. Perhaps as a "parting gift" or in appreciation of his not raising a ruckus in a lobby full of people, the clerk handed him a box with three L'Occitane lotions in it. Hmmmm....

I do realize that for many travelers our "issues" will not resound with them. Everyone looks for different amenities in hotels. I merely wished to relate our concerns.

On the positive side, the staff at the front desk were exceptionally polite and helpful. The lobby was comfortable. The rooms were quite pleasant. My husband and I were well situated in a larger room than our daughter, but her room was fine for one person. The bathrooms were spotlessly maintained and spacious.

“Luxurious appartment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

I visited Bruges with some friends for the beer festival taking place there. We all live in Brussels and we have already visited Bruges several times, so we decided to stay in an apartment rather than in a hotel because we didn't want to feel like tourists. Besides, we wanted to have access to a kitchen since we like cooking our own food, which is of course cheaper than going to a restaurant.

Our experience in the apartment was beyond our expectations. It was huge, very clean, silent, right in the city centre (just at 1 minute from the main square)... Some of us said that we'd really like to live in an apartment like that in Brussels. The only little drawback I can tell is that there were few cooking utensils, but this is compensated by the fact that we didn't need to clean them (luckily for us as there were no soap and we forgot to buy it).

“Hotel Aragon in Bruges, Tracy's 50th Birthday weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We stayed at the Hotel Aragon in November. There were 5 of us, so we booked an apartment at the Aragon. It was lovely, it had a small kitchen but we didn't need this as you get breakfast in the hotel. The apartments are two minutes walk away. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We went for our friends 50th birthday, and also to experience the Christmas Market, which was okay but I wouldn't rush back for the market, I would just go for the actual city of Bruges. The postion of the hotel is ideal for getting around. Definitely would stay there again and would highly recommend.

Room Tip: One side has a cobbled street, but not really a problem as there isn't very much traffic at nigh...

“A great hotel to come home to”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

We stayed at the Hotel Aragon for 2 nights in mid-January. I made the reservation through Booking.com and soon after the hotel emailed with an offer to upgrade to an Executive Room for a small increase. We truly enjoyed everything about this small hotel. Friendly front desk staff; nicely appointed and comfortable lobby area; lots of breakfast choices served in a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. We had just come from a larger hotel, where the breakfast room was noisy and chaotic so we enjoyed our peaceful breakfasts.
The room was on the ground floor in a building across a small courtyard, just a few steps from the main hotel. Spotless modern bathroom, lots of storage space, nice sitting area in front of the TV. Tasteful decor everywhere. The free WiFi worked well in the room. The only negative was an over-active heating unit which got almost hot enough to burn you if you touched it.
This is the kind of hotel that you love to come back to after a long, chilly day's sightseeing. Very close to the Markt and many restaurants. We especially enjoyed Den Amand, a small gourmet restaurant the we wish we could visit often.

Room Tip: We enjoyed the additional space of the Executive Room as the rooms overall are on the small size.

“Hard to fault”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Fabulous location; excellent rooms (though lacking tea/coffee making facilities); excellent continental breakfast; very friendly staff; free wi fi; didn't have any noise at all even though we were at the front as its a very quiet street. What more could you want? well-recommended.
