Overall, my stay at Golden Tulip Hotel De' Medici was quite pleasant but not without some downsides. The hotel has a wonderful atmosphere, especially with festive decorations, and the location by the canal is perfect for exploring Bruges. However, I found the room to be a bit basic and faced some issues with cleanliness. The breakfast was good with plenty of options, but it could definitely be improved.

I just returned from a trip to Bruges and stayed at the Golden Tulip Hotel De' Medici. The location was fantastic, right by the canals, and I appreciated how easy it was to explore the city. However, the hotel itself had some disappointing aspects, especially regarding service and dining options. While my room was clean and comfortable, I found the overall ambiance to be somewhat dull with a few issues that made my stay less amazing than I had hoped.

I had a generally pleasant stay at Golden Tulip Hotel De' Medici. The location was convenient for exploring Bruges, just a short walk from the city center. My room was spacious and clean, although not overly stylish. However, there were some issues with the breakfast, such as lukewarm cooked items and a rather uninspiring breakfast room. Overall, it was a relaxing experience but with room for improvement. 😊

I had a decent stay at the Golden Tulip Hotel De' Medici, but it wasn’t without its drawbacks. The location was perfect for exploring Bruges, really close to the main sights and tucked away in a quieter area. However, I found some aspects like the breakfast and room quality disappointing. Overall, it wasn’t completely awful, but I expected a bit more for the price.

I have to say, the breakfast didn’t live up to my expectations. The coffee was pretty meh, and some of the offerings felt cheap and lackluster, which was a letdown.

Facilities

The overall facilities were nice enough, with decent room service and some appealing communal areas. However, I think they could up the game a little in terms of decor and cleanliness in certain spots.
