Golden Tulip De' Medici Hotel

“Perfect base for sightseeing”

We stayed four nights in a standard room and were very happy with all aspects of the hotel. Our room was bright and modern, the daily cleaning/tidying was of a very good standard. The buffet style breakfast was plentiful and the range of food was more than sufficient to satisfy anyone. We loved the location, in the quieter part of town, yet within easy walking distance of the main tourist sights. If walking doesn’t appeal there is a bus stop on the opposite side of the canal ( I minute walk over the bridge) and the No 2 takes you to the centre and then to the train station. Very convenient! I would thoroughly recommend the Golden Tulip de Medici for a short break in Bruges. was

“Not blown away”

Stayed here with a friend for 2 nights for sight seeing. Location: perfect for access to old town Bruges with ample parking around the hotel. Disabled parking was free with UK blue badge.

Stayed here with a friend for 2 nights for sight seeing. Location: perfect for access to old town Bruges with ample parking around the hotel. Disabled parking was free with UK blue badge. Room: this was spacious clean and comfortable. We were next to the elevator on the first floor and heard this every time it was used. We also heard the deliveries at the back early in the morning. Coffee and tea facilities below par. Nasty instant coffee and no tea! The bathroom was clean with great lighting and a good quality magnifying mirror. That said shower was very weak and the water temp was temperamental. Breakfast: average choice of hot/cooked breakfast, pastries and drinks. Self service buffet style. Tiny plates! Spa: this comprised a jacuzzi a very small electric sauna and a steam room. We had it to our selves thankfully as it was only suitable for a maximum of 4 people at a time. Took ages for the sauna and steam room to heat up. Gym has very limited equipment. It was clean and there were plenty of towels. General hotel: lots of areas seemed to be not in use but in general it was clean and the decor was well maintained. There was a real lack of atmosphere in the bar but we were here pre Christmas markets and Bruges was quiet. Staff: nice chap that checked us in but forget to mention our key cards get discounts in Bruges. Francis appeared to be the only member of staff at the hotel in the evening and was grumpy and unhelpful. He muttered under his breath at us and made us feel like an inconvenience. Real lack of staff and friendly faces to encourage guests to enjoy the bar! We chose to sit in our room instead! Probably wouldn’t choose this hotel again.

“Not really what we expected...”

The hotel is situated closely to the city centre and has parking (25 €/day). Unfortunately, the establishment is getting old and would need renovation urgently. We have stayed in this hotel twice in the past and nothing has been done ever since. The Japanese tepan yaki restaurant has been closed. I… more

The hotel is situated closely to the city centre and has parking (25 €/day). Unfortunately, the establishment is getting old and would need renovation urgently. We have stayed in this hotel twice in the past and nothing has been done ever since. The Japanese tepan yaki restaurant has been closed. Its space now serves to store luggage. Too bad that the hotel gives the impression of being run down.

“OK hotel as long as expectations are not too high.”

Good location. Reasonable room size and comfort except the hotel does not have the air conditioning available year round. Our room was unbearably hot the day we checked in and they said it wasn’t hit enough for AC to be available. After intense complaining the night manager turned it on after midni… more

Good location. Reasonable room size and comfort except the hotel does not have the air conditioning available year round. Our room was unbearably hot the day we checked in and they said it wasn’t hit enough for AC to be available. After intense complaining the night manager turned it on after midnight. Our group had a special dinner the night of our arrival. While we appreciate the effort the no choice, overdone beef entree was nearly inedible. Their breakfasts were very good each morning. They should stick to that meal only.
