Academie

I absolutely loved this hotel. It was very cold and very late when I arrived and my reservation somehow had not gone through. The woman at the front desk was patient and friendly as I frantically searched my email looking for a confirmation, only to discover I didn't have one. Luckily they still had some rooms left, so she quickly wrung me up and I was on my way to my room.

The room was a scrumptiously warm haven and all I wanted to do was fall into the fluffy king bed, but I resisted because I still had to eat, and let's be honest, hunger trumps sleepiness.

I was very impressed with the modernity of the room. It had a button-controlled light system installed by the door, the desk, and the bed, with options for dim lighting, table lighting, or full lighting. It was also equipped with two outlets and USB ports, one by the desk and one by the bed.

The bathroom was large and accessible - support beams surrounding the WC and a big shower with two wide doors. Not sure if they're all like that, but I was digging the big shower!

It was also extremely quiet. Needless to say, I slept wonderfully and wish I could have stayed another night!

Definitely an excellent option. It's a four stars hotel with fantastic cost benefit! Lovely hotel conveniently located within a walking distance from the main tourist attractions and restaurants. Clean and comfortable bedrooms, small in size as expected but with a big modern bathroom. My son had fun in the bathtub. Delicious breakfast, hot meals, fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh bread and croissants. The elevator is a must have for families with a stroller.

This place is a very welcomed respite for this wearily traveling couple. We arrived around 11am and the room was not ready, as I had guessed considering check in is at 3. They locked our luggage up for us to save us from toting the bags around town and gave us some welcomed dining tips. The hotel has a boutique like atmosphere and some unorthodox floor plans but was beautiful and very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our welcome and our stay.

Great stay, a little tricky driving around the tiny streets to get to it and ended up using a different parking house as I think would probably would of killed some tourists trying to get into the parking. Host on the desk was impeccable, welcoming and organized (also gave the baby a toy rabbit so that's a huge plus). Room was decent size and comfortable, we all slept well. Great for sight seeing as it's right in the Centre near enough. Will definitely use again now we know how to traverse the city better.

This is a great find during our trip to Brugge. Very centrally located to the boat rides, Grote Markt, and the shopping area. Plus several small tearooms across the street or less than two blocks away so there many breakfast options in morning (also there was breakfast offered at the hotel for 12€). Its located about a 15 min walk from the train station. So we took a taxi (with luggage) for about 10€. The room was very nice, felt like it had just been renovated or redone, and very spacious.

The only negative for me was the shower - maybe there is a trick I don't know but could not get the shower head to stay up - kept sliding down to waist level.. weird!

But overall, a great option when you are staying in Brugge!

Very clean and spacious rooms. Affordable and centrally located. Friendly staff and very good breakfast. Reception was wonderful, and answered all our questions. The clerk on duty, Thomas, was just awesome. Have us clear directions and a wonderful restaurant recommendation (my next rave review). We will be back in Bruges, a fabulous town, and will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!!!

Very good location, right next to the lake of love and less than a ten minute walk from seemingly anywhere. Rooms are updated and quaint, breakfast is AMAZING! Staff is nice and helpful! The only complaint I have is the parking! If you have anything larger than a compact, consider parking elsewhere. The parking garage has tiny spaces with cement poles in between making for a hairy experience trying to park without completely wrecking your rental car. I would suggest taking the train here from the airport to avoid car troubles all together. Once you're in Brugges, everything is accessible by foot or other means of transportation.

A first rate hotel, complete with close proximity to everything in town, comfortable, stylish rooms, and a superb breakfast. My girlfriend and I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Never disappointed when visiting Bruges. The hotel and staff take good care of their guests. The location is near everything you would want to see and is within a short walk. Also there is a grocery market just around the corner. Parking can sometimes be hard to locate but this hotel has their own garage. But if they are full there is a parking garage just around the corner. Bottom line, you just can't go wrong with Hotel Academie

We really enjoyed our stay, it was a very good price with an even better location. Parking was an additional 20 euro a night, which was an added convenience. The staff was very helpful. The room was a bit small, but very clean and had everything you would need. Was a great find, and the ten minute walk to the city square made it even better.
