The Pand Hotel

We had a wonderful stay at The Pand Hotel with friends over the New Year. The hotel was perfectly placed on a quiet street, yet only yards from the heart of this beautiful city. The hotel was immaulate and offered a restful and luxurious retreat when we needed it. The decoration and furnishings were of the highest quality and the period charm shone through. The staff at the hotel were exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. They made us feel so welcome and catered for our needs perfectly. Breakfast was remarkable and a real highpoint of our stay. Our room was charming, although the bathroom was quite tight! The whole atmosphere of the hotel was relaxed and low-key. You were really made to feel at home from the moment you arrive. We will defiantly visit again and will ensure The Pand will be our destination.

We stayed for a couple nights right after Christmas for the Bruges experience and markets. Have been to Bruges many times but not at Christmas and it was absolutely beautiful. It is a boutique hotel at a great central location in a small side street from a main tourist road, so not overwhelmed by tourists outside the door. There is a lovely lounge area off reception where you could relax and enjoy the fire, a wonderful opportunity especially at Christmas. The staff were all very helpful and polite, with special note to our breakfast server who could not do enough to help but was never over bearing. Speaking of breakfast, it was wonderful and included Champagne. Do NOT miss this. We had a deluxe room which, while not huge, was cosy and well-appointed. Bathroom was excellent (though incredibly hot for some reason!) and everything was very clean. Only slight criticism of the room is the TV was small and in a silly location (but honestly, with Bruges to explore in the evening, not a big issue). Parking can be a problem with limited spaces outside the hotel but they were very helpful in listing the public car parks available to try. It took us a little while and eventually opted for large public car park available near the station which we knew was then just a pleasant walk back to the centre. This is not a hotel problem, just a fact to be aware of if, like us, you are daft enough to drive into Bruges and given the great location right in the centre. Top tip, on checking in they provided a map with a couple of suggested walks, including a longer one that takes you to the windmills. A lovely walk, especially early on a chilly, sunny morning before the town gets busy. A final, lovely touch were the chocolates and personal note on leaving. Thank you to all the staff for making it such a memorable short stay, We do not hesitate recommending the hotel, especially for a romantic getaway, and we will be back!

We stayed in December for the Christmas markets. What a wonderful little hotel. It was in an excellent city centre location. Breakfast was excellent, service was amazing. The rooms were a little on the small side, but I thought this just added to the quaintness of this hotel. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anybody wanting to get away in beautiful Bruges

Lovely cosy hotel right in centre of Bruges. Parking right outside. Champagne breakfast was nice. Staff were charming and attentive. We had smallest room which is classed as small charming which it was everything very clean. Chocolates in a bag hanging on door at night was a nice touch Would highly recommend

The hotel lives up to its name of being charming, from the staff with nothing being too much trouble, the atmosphere, room and excellent breakfast. Well worth the money. Excellent situation for the centre of Bruges. Couldn’t fault anything.
