Great place to stay

We loved Brugge and our hotel. Duke’s Academie was an easy walk to the center. It was beautifully decorated, clean and comfy. The staff were welcoming. I’d definitely return and recommend to my friends.

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.

The hotel was lovely and the hotel staff were great, but the value of the stay being at New Year’s Eve prices wasn’t up to the standard expected for the price. Would recommend out of season at normal prices.
