"Overall an excellent 3 night stay for my wife's special birthday in beautiful Bruges, a lovely quaint hotel, good location with easy access into the City , with friendly staff and a superb breakfast, however some tlc in parts of the hotel need attention ie skirting coming away, stained carpets and paintwork, our room was tired and could do with a freshen up and staff although friendly need to have more attention to detail, on our very 1st night we reported our toilet continuously running water, and the safe was locked and needed resetting but neither of these were done during the whole of our stay and our teabags, milk and sugar weren't replenished either so that part of our stay was disappointing but would still recommend the Grand"

"Very nice hotel indeed. Fully modernized and a 5-minute walk away from the main market square with the Belfort Tower. My room was large, fully renovated, had air conditioning and also a kettle so I could make tea/coffee. There's a nice breakfast room though it's not free and seemed pricy for what was just a standard buffet. Bruges is beautiful with plenty to see over a couple of days and easy (if expensive) to get to on Eurostar."
