"Beautiful hotel in great location just off the main square. We had a superior room which was spacious and well appointed. Staff extremely helpful and attentive, room and facilities spotless. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel as there are so many cafes nearby. Good value considering the standard of the hotel."

8/10 Good
"Comfortable room, with enough space to store luggage. Bed was great, with convenient place to charge your phone on bedside table. The TV had to be the smallest tv I've seen in a hotel room - so not enjoyable to watch from the bed. Bathroom was spacious and clean. Good shower head pressure and drainage. Housekeeping didn't replenish the amenities on the second day (eg. vanity kit, shower cap) which was disappointing. Room could get a bit noisy at night, as we were at street level (ie. buses, cars and drainage sounds) - so bring your earplugs! Location was convenient, only 5 minutes walk to centre of town."

10/10 Excellent
"My wife & I spent a week at the Biskajer while in Bruges for a wedding. The hotel was an easy 5-10 minute walk to the City Hall where the formal wedding ceremony was held. The room we were initially assigned, while very nice, did not have a walk-in shower. We are both elderly with histories of leg surgeries so getting in and out of the high tub was challenging. When informed of this issue, the staff promptly moved us to a room with a walk-in shower. The daily breakfast was excellent although our son (who stayed in a separate room) thought that it could have benefited from a little more day-to-day variety."
