My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the canal-facing room was impressive, it felt like the servants' quarters with a lumpy bed, cheap pillows, and no room temperature control. The noise levels were over the top, making it hard to relax during my stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel de Orangerie! The location is simply perfect, right in the center of the world heritage monuments of Bruges. The rooms with modern amenities and a cozy fireplace were great, but there was a slight issue with a faint smell of foul drainage in the room. The service was exceptional, with the staff being super friendly and helpful as if we were long-time friends. The dining experience offered a wide array of delicious dishes and was definitely value for money. The facilities were fantastic, especially the warm fire glowing to come home to after a day of exploring. However, the room was missing a couch which would have been a nice addition.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience all around. The rooms had charm and offered a great view, complete with a lovely shower and bathroom. It was a peaceful retreat perfect for enjoying a quiet afternoon glass of wine. While the room was very comfortable and boasted a nice view over the canal, due to the age of the building, the creaking floors could be a minor inconvenience unless you opt for a top floor room or bring some earplugs.
