However while we were there in the morning housekeeping knocked and despite us asking who it was, entered our room while we were in bed at 8 am. The same thing happened an hour later. ..."

"The room was large and very clean - The only thing was the comforter on the bed was pilling up from washing so much. But it was clean. It is in a perfect location to walk all the historical part of Brugge. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Very quiet !!"
