    No suggestions for improvement. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

    Bright, spacious, attractive room and bathroom. Big windows! Host Francis was welcoming, and told me when they renovated the guest rooms they invested in good beds and showers. Boy, he wasn’t kidding. (And I was reminded about how much better both were when I moved on to my next stay at a well known hotel chain.). Bed linens are lovely and towels are plush. Pillows comfortable. The soaps gifted by Francis were really nice, and of course I packed my slightly used bars home with me. They’ll last for some time, and each time I use them I’ll remember my stay at APL8 and Brugge. The complimentary in-room coffee provided was good quality. And while, of course, there is a charge for the mini-bar beverages, his are very reasonably priced. The location of APL8 was an unexpected good surprise. I might not have found my way to the (NOT touristy!) Sint Anna neighbourhood if I hadn’t stayed here. I woke up to quiet and hearing birds cooo each morning. Waking up at and ‘coming home’ to there turned out to be a favourite part of my stay in Brugge. Plus it was a very pleasant, scenic 10 minute stroll to the market square. When I asked Francis for his restaurant recs, he offered me his list. So helpful. I ate dinner at 3 of them and each was different- all good food and comfortable ambience.

    Slightly bigger bath towels would have been nice, but otherwise everything was great.

    The B&B is in a beautiful, quiet square a short walking distance from the centre of town. My room was spacious and well furnished, with all the facilities you could need. The bed was big and comfy, if a little on the soft side. The bathroom was clean with an excellent shower, and the free hand made cosmetics were a nice touch. Complimentary hot drinks, a fridge and smart TV provided lots of home comforts. The host, Francis, was very welcoming and pre arrival info/communication was great.

    There was no door on the toilet. We hated this! Bed sheet was subtlety stained. We couldn’t get the heating to switch on. There was a noise like a fan for 30 seconds every 5 minutes 24/7 There was noise & conversation in the hallway when we in bed late at night. The cleaner woke us up at 8.30 hoovering the hallway.

    Black out curtains were really good but the absence of a door let all the light in through the toilet. Bed was comfortable. Toiletries were beautiful. Host was friendly & helpful.

    There was an odd smell (like sour garbage) in the B&B. Hopefully it was temporary, but we had to sleep with the windows open and got a few mosquito bites. A bit of a misnomer, breakfast isn't included with the room.

    Absolutely beautiful room. The owner is an architect and you could tell by the little details. The blackout drapes, the nightstands with built in wireless phone chargers, the linens and towels and the bathroom -- all top designs. The location was great too -- close enough to the center while far enough to be quiet. Coffee making in room!

    The property is very lovely and extremely comfortable. One of the best B&B experiences I’ve ever had. Also, Francis was so kind and helpful. He greeted me at the door, walked me to my room, and had complimentary soap/shampoo for me. When I asked about a taxi to the strain station, he offered to drive me there.

    Unfortunately because the building is old there are no elevators which is fine usually but anyone with an issue with walking up the staircase might want to keep that in consideration. The host was nice enough to help us carry our luggage so it was not a big issue for us.

    The house is in a good location, Francis was extremely sweet and helpful. The room was a nice size and we had a washroom for private use. Overall it was a satisfying stay in Bruges, the center is only a few minutes walk from the house.
