Staff were lovely, breakfast was great, what let this down a little was the rooms. There were no thrills. The reception areas were beautiful but when you come up to the bedrooms, they were bland, basic and lack no inspiration at all.

Excellent stay! This hotel is situated in the city centre of Bruges, yet away from the very touristy hot spots and in an area with lots of restaurants, fast food options, bars and shops. Very clean room and they surprised us for our anniversary. The breakfast was very tasty and with lots of good options. We will be returning when back to Bruges. We couldn’t have expected anything better!

Hotel was beautiful, staff were lovely, breakfast had so many different options too which was good. Only thing that let the stay down slightly was the bed, it was really uncomfortable and the pillows were very flat so I had to order more to the room.

2nd holiday at this hotel, same great experience and the staff are amazing, nothing is to much for them to do for you. The breakfast is amazing and plenty full. Rooms cleaned every day with everything topped up. Can’t fault this hotel. Looking to book for next year again.
Cosy seating to have a quiet drink.

The biggest frustration was we paid the same price as our friends, they had a large better condition room, ours was pokey and not as modern. We booked the same room type and paid over €200 a night but got a lower quality room. So make sure you get what you pay for

Our group had a wonderful stay at Dukes while visiting Bruges! We loved our top-floor rooms - spacious, comfortable, and perfect for unwinding after exploring the city. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, and the location couldn’t be better, right in the heart of Bruges and close to everything!
