Great Hotel

Rooms are large but unusual layout. Distinct lack of storage space in bathroom. Hotel location towards the outskirts of old town but well within walking distance of all attractions. Breakfast very good with wide selection on offer. The property appears popular with visitors from USA.

Wonderful stay in Bruges

Our stay at the Acadamie was great. Its position was extremely convenient, not only for walking to the Train and Bus stations, when visiting other nearby Belgian cities, but also very close to the centre of Bruges itself, to enjoy all its sights and amenities. We had a very modern, well fitted room, which overlooked the central courtyard.Bed was extremely comfortable, and very large! Bathroom had both bath and shower options. Breakfast was taken in the cellar Breakfast Room. Large range of hot and cold food available, making choice difficult! Staff, both on Reception and in the Breakfast Room were very friendly and helpful. The Acadamie Hotel was for us an excellent choice in Bruges.

Great place to stay in Bruges

This hotel is great and i recommend it. Checking in and out was a breeze. It is well located, room we had (luxury) was very spacious, comfortable and modern. Small touches like usb plugs, a usable fridge and a safe make a difference. Breakfast buffet was excellent it had almost everything you can ask for. Smoked salmon was a plus. Had some minor issues that were quickly resolved, Amber at the front desk was very helpful and professional. Will book again next time in Bruges!

This hotel was decent! The decor was lovely and I appreciated the fridge in the room, the chocolates etc.The elevator didn't go to the main floor most of the day (I'm sure there was a reason) and the pillows were horrific but the location was nice and quiet.

We have stayed at the Duke’s Academie hotel several times. It is well located for exploring Bruges. Staff are friendly and helpful - we had an issue with a smell in the room (drains) which they looked at straight away. Unfortunately it didn’t quite go away but was bearable. The hotel does an excellent breakfast.
