I don't think that this hotel is a 5 star, maybe 4. Nice hotel, great location, and great breakfast but when checking in we ended up carry our own luggage up b/c there was no bellstand person when checking in. (he came on our way to the elevator) Rooms are very dark even with all the lights on-couldn't exactly read... More

First of all, this is a stunningly beautiful hotel. From the moment I first set eyes on it, I fell in love with the place. Because the smaller garden room I had booked was not available, the receptionist upgraded me to a Junior Suite overlooking the grounds. The bedroom was spacious, exquisitely furnished and the prints of old masters on... More

Very large and comfortable room. We stayed for two nights and were very satisfied. Just a few minutes walking distance to Markt, Burg, and lots of eateries. During our stay there was a business conference taking place at he hotel, and they reserved the whole restaurant, so we didn't have a chance to eat there.

This was my second trip to the Kempinski in Bruges and, second time around, it did not disappoint. Service was faultless from beginning to end. We were in hoodies and jeans and the staff were as smiley and as helpful as they were to every other guest around. We loved our previous room in the old part of the hotel... More

A lovely stay at the hotel, but there were a few little things that were not as we expected, but then perhaps our expectations were too high as we have stayed in better 5 star hotels. The complaints were, that the shower temperature, one minute it was hot then too cold, the beds, although very big and luxurious, they seemed... More
