The location is perfect. In Bruges it is a very busy city once all the tour buses arrive, having some peaceful time to sit a see the sights on your own and to snap those photos is must in my book. The location being at the city square allows you to be up early morning, and to see the buildings in the late evening when they are lit up. The photos without the mass crowds are big time keepers. Being so close to the square lets you take in all of Bruges, and to take breaks when you need. The accommodations are amazing and very spacious. There is a staircase but very accomodating, not like many of the very steep stairecases in Europe, this one is spiral and wide. Breakfast is simply amazing and finally the host is wonderful, as witnessed by our smooth and helpful check-in and by his engagement with fellow guests over breakfast. Would not hesitate to stay here again, or send anyone of my friends as a recommendation. Cheers
