Hotel Leopold - Bruges

The owner was really friendly, and helpful, the heating was not working initially, but they have repaired it immediately after I have asked for it. The breakfast was great and abundant. The hotel is quite close to the center, halfway from the train station. everything is within walking distance. The only thing I could note for improvement was that the hotel itself was a little bit run down: some strange smell in the staircase (which they had tried to overcome with some nice aromas - still you could feel the original), and while the room was well cleaned, there were certain parts that no cleaning could have helped further, but should have been replaced, namely the corners of the shower being black, toilet, and other parts of the bathroom... My overall stay was good, but as I'm quite keen on the clean feeling of the bathroom in hotels, it was quite a bit of a minus for me.

We booked 1 apt and 1 "Standard Double Room". The apt was great and really suited requirements - however the hotel decided that it would be more convenient to give us a "delux twin" room in the same building as the apt so we could be near the rest of our group. However we were very disappointed to discover the "twin deluxe" contained two very small single beds! Also,given travel restrictions on liquids we were surprised & disappointed to find no shower gel provided - very unusual in this day & age!

Was a little difficult to find-down a very narrow side street with no parking. Parked in an underground carpark-got lost finding that!The pedestrian entrance/exit to car park was indeed close to the hotel. The stairs to our room on the 1st floor were very steep and narrow-not for those not too mobile. The bathroom only had a sliding door which meant not much privacy. Breakfast very good and a helpful and friendly waitress.

Hotel in great location close to main attractions can walk to most sights. Owner helpful with suggestions of places to visit and eat. Would stay here again

The hotel is situated in a great location, 5-10 minutes walk to the Belfry & market square. The hotel is very quaint, the rooms are tastefully decorated. The mattress was very soft, not to my liking but I guess that comes down to personal preference. The steep stairs would not be suited for an older traveller or someone with a disability. The breakfast included a decent continental breakfast to set you up for the day ahead sightseeing and beer drinking.

I would have given a higher grade if we had the heating working the first night in our room and if the owner would have offered at least a discount for the inconvenience. We woke up in the middle of the night freezing (it was february) and it was very difficult to get back to sleep. In the morning, we foud out that the heating was off (broken). They immediately fixed it but the first night was ruined. We asked for a discount (it should have been offered by them, in my opinion) but the owner refused telling us that it was not his fault (as if it was my choice to freeze all night). I'm used to a different approach to customers. The room is very small and the breakfast plain.

Hotel Leopold was a SUPER place to stay in Bruges. The room was EXCELLENT, CLEAN and more than we expected! It is very nice to receive more than you bargained for! The breakfast was also TOP QUALITY!

Leopold is definitely a B &B, not a hotel. The people running the hotel were very nice and helpful. Our room was on the first floor and extremely noisy - anyone on the street could be heard, and if you closed the windows it would be way too hot. The bedding was not really up to standards. In the family room the larger bed was basically a futon, very hard. Sheets felt sandy - not a pleasant feeling. The bathroom was quite adequate. All in all, I think for the money it was not a great value. We could have probably done as well in a better hotel. But it wasn't terrible either. The overall setting is charming and the location is fine.

It was expensive for a 2 star hotel, but it did include a good breakfast and accommodation seems to be expensive in Bruges. The room was small but adequate; some noise when the market sets up in the square below on a Saturday morning and one night we also had very loud music from a nearby party but were assured that this wasn't normal. It was good having the bar downstairs and we ate there a couple of times. Good location for sight seeing and a comfortable walk from the station. I would add this to the directions from the station: come out of the main exit and walk diagonally across the square to the lights, look left through the park to see a big, square red brick building (the concert hall) and walk through the park towards it, almost parallel to the main road. When you reach the end of the path you are almost opposite the bar of the hotel.

We stayed in a double room. A little difficult if you have heavy lugagge

The apartment with the 4 beds was excellent value for money. It was really handy to have the kitchen and living room as it meant that you can relax in the room if you did not fancy staying out.

Excellent!!!! so cute...

Friendly place. No free wifi unfortunately. Walls a bit thin. Nice place and well positioned although a little hard to find and directions a little vague

Lovely hotel, very accommodating management. Really nice breakfast - we'd recommend playing with the egg boiling machine. The spiral staircase is very steep, but good fun if you are fit enough to go up and down it - not an option for anyone with mobility issues. Cute dog seemed very placid and friendly. Parking in the Centrum was incredibly close. It is secure and fairly reasonably priced so is a good option.

As we were staying for five nights, we were upgraded to the apartment next door to the hotel, which was comfortable, convenient and well equipped. It is situated in a narrow, cobbled street (t' Hoogste van Brugge) within easy walking distance of the town centre. If you arrive by car, don't be misled by the Leopold restaurant on 't Zand square which is marked as the hotel entrance on most maps, but which, in fact, is not connected to the hotel. You need to drive down t' Hoogste van Brugge, unload luggage, then drive on to park at the station, which is only 10 minutes' easy walk away. We left our car there for the whole stay for €2.50 per day, which is considerably cheaper than the underground car park on t' Zand.You don't need a car in Bruges; it's all walkable, and it's cheap and much more convenient to take one of the very frequent trains to places like Ghent, which we would also recommend for a day trip. Bruges is a beautiful town to enjoy on foot - the Information Office has a booklet with suggested walks - and the Leopold made a pleasant, convenient base.

We were delighted with our stay. Many reviewers comment on the steep narrow stairs. These would not, I suppose, pass modern UK building regulations, but they are not unusual for Northern Belgium/Holland and we are only talking about one short flight. One or two others have commented on the unfriendliness of the staff. Again, I suspect this is cultural thing. Flemish/Dutch people sometimes come over that way if you are not used to their ways - think Yorkshire people ;) We found the staff extremely accommodating and helpful and the atmosphere of the hotel very convivial. There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms and don't expect a huge breakfast (perfectly adequate though). For the price we paid, however, excellent value overall and we should certainly recommend this hotel to others and use the hotel again if we ever visited Brugge/Bruges again.

Excellent hotel, very good value in a very good location. the stairs are very steep but would never let it put me off staying there in the future.

Excellent value for money in a very tastefully decorated and clean hotel. Highly recommended.

Very good location in the middle of the city, nice breakfast.

Very good Hotel! well located, good rooms, and the best service.... The only point in disadvantage are the stairs!! Be prepare to carry your baggage!! We travel Bruges for our honeymoon and it is really marvelous... and Hotel Lepold helped to do that.

The room used was not cleaned in a approprite way, there was "mosquitos" in the room. The hand towel was not changed during the three day that We stayed. The quality price is very poor. 75 euros a day for that kind of room is unacceptable. We do not recommend this hotel and We will not return there again.

Good for a short break - not the largest of rooms but very comfy bed and clean. noise inside the hotel was minimal but as our rooms were overlooking the 't Zand square it was noisy outside. Lovely self service buffet breakfast, owned by friendly people. Perfect location for exploring Brugges - only been for a day befpre and this was good for a short break. Will return to this hotel on my next trip to Brugges. Narrow cobbled street outside to load/unload luggage but on leaving we walked our cases to the station carpark where I'd left the car for 3 and a half days (about 10 min walk). Only downside was the steep and narrow staircase to the bedrooms.

We travelled as a group of 6 (3 couples) and we stayed in the Hotels 3 Apartments, which were very spacious and clean plus they also included a fully fitted kitchen, ideal for families. The Hotel staff were attentive and happy to help us whenever we asked.

The hotel is beautiful and de woman owner was very nice and considerate. We only have a problem with the woman of cafetery Leopold when we arrived and we had a mistake with the door of entrance to hotel. She was not to nice with us. But all other hotel's people were very nice.

Superb location and a very nice family Bed & Breakfast Hotel with good breakfast. The room was for 4 people and it was very clean, spacious with a small kitchen with dining table, Flatscreen TV with satellite. Warm welcome from the owners and their dog. We will stay here again, for sure!

This hotel is small and nice. The employees are quite pleasant and you feel in a familiar lodge. My room was quite big and nice, in a very nice and silent street, but quite close to the city center. Also, the breakfast is included and it was good and really complete and you will start the day in a very pleasant room So, for sure, that I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay some days in Bruges and I will repeat if I can

WAS SUCH A NICE HOTEL QUIET AND INTIMATE BUT ALSO RELAXED-NICE THAT BOX THE BOXER DOG WAS THERE TO WELCOME US-LOVED MAKEING OUR EGGS AT BREAKFAST-STAFF WERE LOVELY AND VERY HELPFUL-SLEPT SOOOOO WELL!!! BUT CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE RAIN???

My wife and I had a lovely 3 day stay in Bruges and in Hotel Leopold and our room was excellent.It was spacious and quiet and the breakfast was good too. If you don't like dogs then you might be put off by the resident boxer, who was quiet and well behaved, but was lying on the floor near where we had breakfast. The hotel was only 10 minutes on foot from the station and very close to all the town centre attractions. The only downside, which wasn't the fault of the hotel, was that we got bitten by mosquitoes during the night because we hadn't expected them and didn't have any stuff with us - we left the window open because it was warm.

Spotless room, excellent included breakfast,pleasant,knowledgable hosts. Hotel is metres from main street but quiet and private. Spiral staircase to rooms may prove challenging to some.

Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Dans un quartier très bien situé (10 min à pieds de la place MARKT) Les propriétaires sont sympathiques, la chambre triple est toute refaite à neuf et le petit déjeuner est tout a fait satisfaisant. Nous le recommandons sans hésitation !

The Leopold is a cute stay in a great city. The staff was very nice and accomodating. They helped us with directions and with travel plans for the next day.

Excelente lugar para hacer pie y conocer la ciudad. Los dueños del hotel son muy amables, y ofrecen su ayuda siempre. El desayuno es el mejor que comimos en toda nuestra estadía en Europa. Un saludo especial a Box.

1ere visite à Bruges : ville magnifique. Hôtel sympa, calme et très bien situé. Accueil flamand sympathique. Destination à découvrir !

Landlady and friends smoked downstairs and smoke wafted up the stairs to our room. Not good. Breakfast was very good, landlord was very welcoming, and the rooms were nice.

Hotel quite well located, only a short walk from the main square. Hotel owner not the most welcoming of people. Rooms are small but beds were comfortable. Breakfast is a bit of a farce. Cramped area, the only hot food available is boiled eggs, which you have to do yourself using a manual timer, along with everybody else, so you have to hope that the egg you put in is the same egg you get out. Only a small two slice toaster to do all the guests at the same time. Best to avoid the 9am rush. Would not recommend this hotel to families with small children or to people who find it difficult to manage stairs, as the hotels stairs are very steep and tight. However, for a couple who are able-bodied would be no problem.

We had good correspondence with the hotel management prior to coming. Easy to contact with prompt reply. The hotel was in a good location, close to the city centre although we initially had difficulty to find the place. It's close to the train station and it was within walking distance to most places. Need to be careful up the steep steps into the above floors where the rooms are. The furnishing was average but the place was very clean and quiet. The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was good and quite a lot of variety to choose from. Value for money. I would come here again to stay.

Very small apartment, difficult access from car. Manager delightful and very helpful. On edge of old quarter and good access to key parts of city

This hotel was great. Would recommend it to anyone and will definitely stay there again when in Brugge.

This hotel is at the Zand Square, which sits atop the town's underground parking garage and across from the train station. It was the perfect location for us, especially since we arrived by car. From we were a few steps away from several bars and restaurants, and could walk anywhere in the city. The owners were very friendly. The breakfast was included in our rate and it was good (bread, cheeses, cold cuts, eggs, cereal, etc). The owners' dog (Box) which roams around the reception area looks menacing, but is extremely quiet and friendly. He will completely ignore you unless you want to play with him, something which will make him very happy. Our room was tight, but comfortable. Bathroom looked like it had been recently remodeled. Our room was on the second floor, and the spiral stairway that lead us up was extremely narrow and steep. It wasn't a problem for us, but I could see where some travelers could have some issues with it. I would definitely stay again at this hotel.

Hotel pequeño, familiar, tranquilo y muy bien situado; el trato y la atención del personal excelentes. Recomendable para cualquier tipo de viajero, si regresamos algún día a Brujas volveríamos a seleccionar este hotel.

This Hotel was a nice surprise! We traveled with a baby and our room was like a little house, perfect! living room, bedroom, and a place to prepare my baby food and warm the bottles! Very nice breakfast and excelent location!

My wife and I, highly recommend this Hotel. Ideally located in the beautiful city of Brugge! The owners are very nice people and very helpful. By the way, breakfast is very good!

Hotel very central, hotel access is through the Rear lane, the bar and hotel owners are different

I didn't like the dog lying aournd in the breakfast room.

We felt right at home when we were greeted at the check in counter by the sound of the owner's sleeping dog, who spent his days on his bed next to the desk. The owner was helpful during our stay, lending us different items we needed. The room was very modern, clean, and comfortable. OUr room was over the common room where breakfast was served so we were woken by the setting up of breakfast but we didn't mind because we needed to get down to eat between 8:00- 9:30. Otherwise it was very quiet. The breakfast was included and there was a wide variety of fresh items. The location was ideal- half way between city centre and the train station; making it easy to walk every where.

The leopold hotel is ok for a two/tree days holiday in bruges.the hotel staff is very gentle and the breakfast is good.also the hotel is very near to the train station and to the city centre.the only problem is the cleaning of the room!our room is small for two persons but the price is ok!bruges is a little beatiful jewel in Belgium!

I will recommend.

Je recommande ce petit hotel à tous pour la compétence du personnel.On avait réservé deux nuits par internet, mais mon mari m'a fait la surprise de pouvoir rester une nuit de plus sur place, donc modification de la réservation obligatoire.J'ai appelé l'hotel qui m'a assuré qu'il n'y avait pas de problème. Arrivé sur place, aucune chambre n'étant disponible, il nous ont mis à disposition un studio pour les même prix et conditions que la location d'une chambre...super!!!

Two nights with great breakfasts and the cafe underneath had some great beer. The rooms are a bit small but it is well placed between the rail station and the town centre. Good price, good food, great weekend.

Excellent services. Me and my fiance were very pleased. We are recommending this hotel to our friends =)

My boyfriend and i spent a really nice 3 days at the Hotel Leopold. The room was nice, the location was amazing and the services provided were good. I felt breakfast should have been offered later for a weekend, the shower was tiny and although Reginald was extremely welcoming and helpful, other members of staff were actually a bit rude. Overall, i would definitely recommend this hotel and i did have a very good time there.

Simpatie that's something they don't know!! Cleanning the room, just for the next customer, not for us!! Good breakfeast in a nice place. Good location in the lovely city of Bruges!

Very nice hotel, and great employees (helpful and warm). Great location, very nice rooms, with wifi, and pretty good breakfast.

We spent one night in Bruges and we loved the friendly service at the hotel! The breakfast was very good and the room was clean and comfortable. We would totally go back there.

BRAVI!!!

Try to ask for a room with a window overlooking t'Zand - those are the best rooms. Avoid the internal rooms as they are too dark and small and its frustrating not being able to see the light of day. The hotel was infested with giant mosquitoes. Our first night was sleepless and we had to spend it chasing mosquitoes and squashing them against the wall or ceiling. The second night, we were given a mosquito killer and we made sure to spray the room before going out in the evening. There is no lift, and the stairs are worse than those to climb to the top of the Belfry, so climbing them up with luggage is a horrible experience that left me with an aching back for 3 whole days. Other than that, the hotel was ok - good location, helpful staff, very good breakfast.

Habitacion cuadruple muy acigedora MUCHO MEJOR DE LO QUE SE VE EN INTERNET!!

Ritengo ottima la posizione dell'hotel sia rispetto al centro che alla vicina stazione. Io e il mio compagno siamo stati benissimo !

Small family run business. Good communication prior to arrival. Room described exactly - 2 x double bed + shower room. The shower room was small with a sliding screen door - but adequate. Bedding and towels all clean and tidy. Helpful hosts, pleasant breakfast, nice central location - accross the road from the tourist information office where the excellent value guided walking tours leave from. Rooms accessed by quite small and narrow stair case - not suitable for some with restricted mobility.

Rooms are small, but great location close to the market and other attractions...Id go back!

If you like dogs, you will have a big black one going around in the room during your breakfast, while you will be eating in some stinking plates. If you are clean persons, choose another hotel. The welcome from a guy was good, but the day after we were about to be kicked out by the lady, for an early check-out at 10:00, and she was really unpleasant when we asked for 10 minutes more. Asking them for keeping our bags for some hours could make anxious even two skilled travellers like us..

Tres bon séjour ; j'y retournerai sans aucun problème.

Hotel pequeño pero agradable, sin duda regresaria

Well situated, clean and homey hotel with great breakfast, close to station and city centre: we would not hesitate to go there again!

I was a bit worried about staying in a 2 star place for 5 days, however, Hotel Leopold was fantastic. It was clean, quiet, comfortable and spacious. The owners are very house-proud, and it was far better than 2 stars. We were very, very happy with our stay in our little flat. The (included) breakfast was extremely good. It was also in a perfect location- about 15mins walk to the train station, and close to the main shopping street leading to Market Square. We would love to stay again and would highly recommend this place.

2 night stay with 6 girl-friends. Two rooms with 1 double bed: would have been better with two single beds. Nice price-quality facility in the centre of Brugge.

Public area/breakfast dining area very cramped but acceptable for short stay. No fire escape/evacuation instructions in bedroom. Steep narrow staircase to bedrooms could be problem for some.

Ein reizendes kleines Hotel in zwei kleinen typischen stilvollen Häusern. Die liebevolle Einrichtung des Zimmers und des Frühstücksraumes hat uns begeistert. Hier hat die Hausfrau mit ganzem Herzen und Engagement etwas Wunderbares geschaffen. Die Hausfrau spricht auch deutsch, der Hausherr englisch. Beide sind besonders nett, sodass wir uns wirklich zuhause fühlten. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

I was appalled by the attitude of the Lady owner. She was so arrogant and rude that I would never stay in this hotel again even though the location and accomodation was acceptable.

We enjoyed our stay

Lovely hotel, I stayed here with my family and the rooms were great, very clean. The owners were very helpful. Lovely quite position while still in the centre of town. I'd stay here again

Cute and tastefully decorated family run bed and breakfast which was right off a main square, 5 minutes away from the new tourist information center in Bruges. Rooms small but nicely done. A great place for a short stay. The hotel website gives a good sense of their style.

Charming hotel right in old Bruges. An easy walk from the train station, or an easy bus ride. The Tourist information center is about a block away, and the nearby main street is the main, fun shopping street. A short walk from the main square and many attractions. Room is small but clean and comfortable, with a small terrace right outside. Bathroom very clean and comfortable. Breakfast room is delightful. Winding staircase is somewhat narrow, but manager nicely helped me with my bags.

This hotel will fit to a sigle person or a couple, but impossible for a family or old people because of the hard stairs to go up to the floors. Breakfast is very good. It is a real pleasure before visiting this nice city.

Good location, rooms clean and a great breakfast!

Nice place to stay in Brugge

There's kitchen and it's very conforteble

Very warm welcome. For a city centre location the Leopold is extremely good value. Don`t expect the Ritz. The narrow staircase might be a problem for the infirm or drunks,but we managed it. The continental breakfast kept us going all day. We loved the place-it`s so Belgium.

For just one night a room for 4 persons ; very easy to found, near the park and well situated. Very nice hôtel. Welcomming was not so kind that the others comments from your site sayd. I would recommend this hotel

Great location - a short walk from the train station, with plenty of restaurants and bars around, and as well located for the sights as you'd need. Quite a homely hotel - clean and tidy, excellent breakfast and staff. Bathrooms are on the small side though.

I will recommend this hotel to everyone visiting brugge. nice people, great breakfast, very close to the city and especially close to the train station. I will stay there again! Note: I went on winter, so maybe during summer the noise could be an issue. There is no lift to the upper floors and internet conection (at least in the second floor) is very bad (it is not included you have to pay 5euros for 2hours)

The owners of the hotel went out of there way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The rooms were spotlessly clean and far more spacious than I could have imagined.

We had a great stay for 2 nights at the leopold, the hotel owner Reginald was very friendly and welcoming, we would definately stay there again.

Very pleasant hotel at walking distance from all the city's attractions. Spotless and quiet room, a bit on the small side though.

We stayed in the hotels 3 storey house around the corner from hotel and had breakfast in the hotel each day( more than enough choice). The house was just perfect for the weekend as we were with friends, so able to relax and chill out with a few drinks in the evenings prior to eating out, although we could have dined in. The hospitality and service from Corry and Reginald was superb, we were made to feel welcome. We would definately recommend to friends and look forward to returning again.

Court séjour de 2 jours à Bruges. Excellent accueil à l'hôtel Léopold. Déco soignée. Parking à proximité. Grand place à moins de 5 mn à pied.

Petit hôtel chaleureux et très bien centré. Il est situé entre une ruelle et une grande place à côté de l'office du Tourisme. Les hôtes sont très prévenants, notamment pour le service du petit déjeuner. Pas trop de circulation sur la place. Très bon rapport qualité-prix. Nous le recommandons ! Nous sommes venus pour 24h et c'est à peine suffisant. Il ne faut pas manquer la visite de Bruges le soir, les éclairages sont superbes le long des canaux et dans toute la ville.

Stayed in the apartment, good size room with a nice kitchen. Great location , friendly staff, nice breakfast

El hotel en proporción calidad/precio comparado con otros hoteles de Brujas, esta bastante bien. En una muy buena zona, cerca del centro (yo lo consideraría centro por las características de la ciudad) y a 10 minutos andando de la estación de tren. La señora es amable y habla bastante español, aunque se nota que le cuesta trabajo. El gran pero son las escaleras, para gente algo mayor son practicamente una pared (no hay ascensor) y para maletas grandes son también muy, muy complicadas. A eso le añadiría que el baño es algo viejo. Aún así, para gente joven (menos de 40) que busque un precio aceptable, yo lo recomiendo.

Excellent hotel located within the historic centre of town. The service was great and my only regret was that I wasn't staying for a longer time.

I can safely say that Hotel Leopold is a true hidden gem in Brugge. The owners are very welcoming and it felt like having a home away from home. I will be back as soon as I can !!

It's a great location although it's not easy to find this small street. We got a huge room with 2 double beds (although there were just 2 of us). The hotel is very nice with lots of small details in interior design that my girlfriend loved.

HOTEL FAMILIAR DE TRATO MUY AGRADABLE. ZONA TRANQUILA E IDEAL POR SU UBICACION, A POCA DISTANCIA DEL CENTRO Y DE LA ESTACION DE FERROCARRIL.

Hotel familiar de trato excelente. Además la dueña habla español muy bien y siempre está dispuesta a ayudarte.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Superb service at affordable prices. the couple I travelled with agrees with me

Un petit hôtel charmant et convivial, nous avons été bien accueillis et bien renseignés sur la ville en général. il est situé dans le centre ville, on peut donc faire tout bruges à pied sans problème. Le petit déjeuner est copieux, les chambres coquettes et propres. Attention tout de même: les escaliers sont en colimaçons, réservé aux personnes n'ayant aucune difficulté.

Very nice breakfast and good location for shopping.

Brilliant location & excellent for the price.the lady owner was most welcoming & helpful when we phoned to say we would be late.Great breakfast. you need to know that the t Zand public cark park is directly below the square where the hotel is located and that there is a back entrance on a street parallel if the front is closed. ask at any bar if in doubt. Fabulous dog too. only negative...very steep staircase as it is an old building.

Not much more i can say, friendly people, great accommodation and a beautiful city! loved staying at hotel leopold! and looking forward to returning i can't remember how the website descirbed the hotel that is why that section is all 5's

Hotel Leopold is an excellent hotel. Breakfast is included with ample choices of cold cuts, fruits, cereals, egg and coffee. The bedroom is a little small for double occupancy. But there is kitchen facilities where you can actually do home-style cooking (after being away from home for a long time is a welcome feature)or heat up any left overs and save on your budget. For a first timer, the location is difficult to find but it is actually very near to all the nice places, market square, church, etc. And for a bonus, they do have free internet access to check your email.
