Hotels near P&J Chocolate Factory Bruges, Zeebrugge

Für uns ein perfekter Mix aus Meer/Strand/Unternehmungen mit Fahrrad und Bahn Gefallen · Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und es wurde uns auch gleich bzgl. unseres Autos und der gebuchten Garage weitergeholfen. Das Garagensystem ist hervorragend dort gelöst, wenngleich die Garage über die Straße gelegen und einige Schritte entfernt ist. Das Hotel selbst (ein kleineres Haus) liegt perfekt an der Promenade. Natürlich ist dort während der Sommermonate ein gewisser Rummel, aber das weiß man im Voraus. Morgens und abends war es ruhig. Unser Zimmer mit Balkon war sauber und hatte einen Kühlschrank, was natürlich sehr angenehm war. Es lag perfekt in den oberen Stockwerken und hatten vollen Meerblick, Es ist einfach toll, den ersten und den letzten Blick des Tages auf das Meer zu genießen und abends nach einem Tag voller Unternehmungen nochmals einen Strandspaziergang zu unternehmen. Alle Mitarbeiter waren stets sehr freundlich und überaus hilfsbereit, der Zimmerservice sehr gut und auch das Frühstücksbüffet war gut, Kaffee holt man sich selbst an der Maschine, und alles andere war ansprechend und sauber präsentiert und wurde stets nachgefüllt. Für uns und unsere Unternehmungen an der Küste war es der perfekte Ort. Außerdem hat Blankenberge einen Bahnhof, von dort gehen regelmäßig Züge nach Brügge, Gent und Brüssel. Fahrradverleihe sind in der Nähe und auch dort wurden wir sehr freundlich bedient. Tolle Fahrradtouren sind möglich bis Ostende oder auf der anderen Seite über Zeebrügge bis Knokke-Heist. An der Promenade gibt es eine Vielzahl an Restaurants für jeden Geschmack und gleich ganz nah beim Hotel einen kleinen Supermarkt für Getränke, Snacks und eine Vielzahl an alltäglichen Artikeln/Kosmetikartikeln. Auch viele Geschäfte säumen die Promenade. Nicht gefallen · Es gab keine Lüftung im WC und die WC-Türe hat nicht ganz geschlossen.

I stayed at Hotel Astoria with my family in August 2022. This is one of the priciest hotels in De Haan which itself is an expensive city. To start with the hotel does not have a step-free entrance, quite shocking in this day and age so if you are travelling with lots of luggage, have a family with a push-chair (like us) or a wheel-chair user rule out staying here straight away. There are about ten high steps to access the hotel, staff offer no help instead they actually look at you like you are a nuisance. At arrival, the check-in staff tried to charge us for the extra bed in the room without bothering to see the booking so be careful if travelling with a family. We were told we can have a complimentary drink from their bar. When trying to claim this offer the staff makes you feel like you are a freeloader, pure rude behaviour followed by a list of drinks that the offer doesn't cover. Basically you can only have a beer or a soft drink. They say they have parking on premises but it's actually just free off-street parking. On the day of our departure there was a fare in the city center so we had to park our car 2miles away. The staff prefers business from walk-in customers in bar and restaurant over hotel guests. Attitude towards children was specially cold and distant, again making us feel like we are causing them extra work.

The hotel is in the perfect location to visit and experience all that Bruges has to offer, it is literally 2 mins from the Belfry and the main square. We drove to Bruges and used their secure underground garage for the duration of our stay. The rooms are basic but very comfortable, the bed in particular was very comfy! We had a very small balcony overlooking the road, which was lovely to get the atmosphere. We would have liked tea/coffee making facilities in the room and there was no iron / ironing board (although they were available from reception is needed). The bathroom was spacious and clean, with plenty of hot water for the shower. Although the hotel has a terrace, you can’t use it past 10pm due to noise restrictions, so we moved inside and were served by the stand out star of the hotel for us… Vlaktko the excellent bar man. He makes the best Moscow Mules! He was friendly and attentive and went over and above to help us. We found the check in / check out service to be a little slow. Overall, I would recommend this hotel without hesitation, it is just perfectly located and if you stay then say Hi to Vlatko!

We have enjoyed our stay in this hotel with short walking distance to the Centrum. We have tried the breakfast which was good as Service staff offered freshly cooked omelette. The only set back is the route to the hotel which we found a lift outside the train station to the level of the carpark leading to the hotel is very Dirty n Smelly. Upon Check-out we used the Hotel Back Road which leads to the Train Station instead of using the Dirty/Smelly Lift.

We booked this because it has Tesla charging points and we needed two rooms and parking. Had we realised it is a Best Western we would have gone elsewhere. It was snowy and icy and the staff were too lazy to salt the dangerous paths. Breakfast was dire and the waitress (who appeared to be doing everything on her own) gave the impression that she would rather she, and we, were anywhere but there. Inhospitable. The bin outside the main entrance was full on arrival and stayed that way. The male receptionist had nicotine stained fingers, which seemed rather off putting for some reason. You get the measure of the place at breakfast. Every chair is worn out. Typical worst Western. The food was inedible: powdered lumpy scrambled egg, grey mushrooms that looked as if they had been refreshed in hot water, juice made from concentrate. It all looked a bit grubby. Tesla chargers were fine - but nothing to do with the hotel. It's about a 20 minute drove to central Bruges. My advice is use the chargers but stay elsewhere. On no account use the restaurant - they can't cook for toffee!
