we were given noisiest room without notice

The hotel was very nice but the reason for 3 stars was room selected from hotels.com was a bad experience. They gave us the room right by the entrance door and the ground floor which got loads of noise from both inside and outside and they didn’t give us any heads up about this, we would not choose this room if we were informed. The room was very tiny as well

Our room was spacious and looked like it was in a historic lodge--brick and wood accents with a huge fireplace, nice seating area, and quiet but a very convenient walk to the Main Square and all of the sites. We loved Bruges and it's medieval charm and this hotel oozed charm and old world comfort. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever fortunate enough to return to Bruges.

Room 10 dreadful, permanently hot.

Room was stupidly hot, despite it being 6 degrees outside. No method of improving temperature or air quality in room due to inefficient air con (which we had to have on 24 hours) and noisy busy cobbled road outside window which meant having window open not an option. Room was not Shabby-Chic, but just Shabby with yellowed walls, peeling painted woodwork and threadbare carpet. Windowless bathroom only had 2 low power lights over sink and bath was in darkness permanently. Tiny thin towels. Avoid room 10 at all costs.

Arriving at Martin's Relais on a very grey day, there was a little sense of disappointment at the slightly tired external features. Do not however judge a book by its cover, our deluxe suite overlooking the canal, was fantastic. Spacious, well equipped and relaxing. It was great. The staff throughout were helpful, constructive and friendly. The location was pleasantly quiet, and only a short walk from the centre. I loved our 5 day stay and can't wait to visit again.

Had a wonderful stay. Room was ready early and it was very large with many traditional features. Bed was very comfy and ample supplies when the room was remade. Staff were great and very accommodating and there is luggage storage letting you make the most of any time before you leave It’s on the canal at Jan Van Aik square, away from the busier streets but only 5 mins from the main square. Plenty of restaurants nearby and a great breakfast spot @Toastie nearby
