We stayed two nights in December at this cozy boutique hotel located overlooking the canal in the…read moreheart of Bruges. Ou room, #12 was up on the 1st (really second) without a scenic river view. During the day they was quite a bit of noise from tourists outside talking and taking photos. Our room was good sized with a faux fireplace and king bed. The large bathroom featured a double vanity, tub/shower combo and toilet. Our room rate included breakfast as well. The room decor could best be described as cozy cottage with subtle floral wall paper, well worn plank floors covered by an oriental rug and tall whitewashed wainscoting. The low ceilings and dark interiors added to the subtly. We arrived quite early on a train from Ghent so weren't able to get into the room but when we returned closer to 3, we were checked in and our rooms were even up already.

I feel bad writing such a bad review because the staff was amazing and really nice, but I…read moredefinitely wouldn't stay here again. The rooms felt a bit outdated, wish there were outlets near the bed, but my biggest issue was about the cleanliness of the room and how it was outdated. There were spiderwebs in the shower, hair in the bed, the carpet was pretty dirty, and there was even a urine smell from one corner of the room. I should have said something but I wasn't staying long and I already unpacked and didn't want to go through the trouble so I just stayed away from that corner but there was definitely a smell in my room.

Every aspect of this hotel is excellent. The staff is friendly, professional, and good at what…read morethey do. The rooms are spacious and modern. I've stayed here several times over the last five years and highly recommend the Hotel Bero!

As other posters have warned- this hotel has two types of rooms. I'm sure the "ecology" rooms are…read moresuper fancy but my old room on the 4th floor is quite dated. I don't mind it looking old but the shower door doesn't do a thing to keep water in, leaving me with a giant flood in the bathroom each time I shower. The toilet also doesn't flush well at all. It tricked water in which is just enough to remove any trace of a #1 after 20 seconds, but leaves the TP behind. Forget flushing a #2-sorry for the TMI but this would be so much worse if I were not traveling alone! My stay is being sponsored by the meeting I'm attending so I'll stay and not complain but if this were my own money I would certainly be out of here after 1 night. The room is also very warm and I don't think that can be controlled by individual room. I opened the window but it was very loud on the street below so bring earplugs. On the plus side, the breakfast was great and I hear the spa is also very nice but I won't be going because it's no clothing allowed and mixed gender. I understand that is normal here,, but is it normal to go with your coworkers?! I'm confused.. especially with friends and family, but is it normal to go nude with your coworkers?! I'm confused... ‍

Vaut le détour, the French would say, especially because this Parisian style café does everything…read moreto make you believe time has stopped and shifted to the time when French Bourgeoisie did rule in Ostend. Nostalgic, stylish and old-fashion brasserie where young and old m'as tu vu of Ostend gathers. Anyone gets in, but it helps to get friendly with the waiters, who are the real masters of this universe. Check the half-n-half, the slow coffee and the classic shrimp croquettes. No music, just conversation.

I stayed here for two nights during Blankenberge's busiest season. The service was good if not…read moreoverly friendly. Being in the Flemish part of Belgium, everyone speaks Dutch, German, French and English, all equally well. The location is extremely convenient being only a few minutes walk to the beach and directly at the Blankenberge Belgian Rail Station (Gare). It is directly off the main road into Blankenberge. The hotel is clean, neat and nicely appointed. They offer breakfast in the morning and have a small but comfortable lounge for drinks. Despite its location the noise level is quite low inside the hotel. The hotel provides a fruit snack, tea, coffee and a couple bottles of water for you. Blankenberge is also close to the Belgian port of Zeebruge and the fashionable city of Ostend. It's also only a fifteen minute drive from Bruges. One huge benefit of staying in Blankenberge over Ostend or Bruges is the price of everything is more reasonable, there are less people and the overall atmosphere is less touristy than the other cities. There is ample nightlife and if you want more you can either take the train or drive to Ostend or Bruges for just a few euros. One warning though, they don't have a parking lot or garage so you can attempt to find overnight street parking (good luck) or you can do what most guests do and park in the parking garage at the train station. It's twenty to thirty euros per night to park there so make sure you add that into your trip costs. When I'm back in this part of Belgium I'll happily stay here again.

Not bad. This was definitely the best hotel breakfast I have ever had. The room was quite perfect…read more We had a very nice double bed in addition to another two beds as a bunkbed. Can sleep a total of four. The location couldn't be better. We were right on the city center with shopping and beach side access. The beach is set up as a boardwalk type arrangement that extends for several miles. All in all, I really liked this hotel and would love to go back.
