  • Hotel Bourgoensch Hof, James (guest) wrote 10 years ago:
    Fantastic hotel, given its premium location in bruges the price is anything but. I've stayed in bruges 5 times at Christmas now and this year I will once again stay at this hotel. 5 stars!
  • Duvelorium, James (guest) wrote 10 years ago:
    Don't expect too much from the Historium. It's certainly something to do whilst in the city but the experience falls a bit flat considering it is mainly a walkthrough of projector screens that portray a medieval love story. The bar is expensive but the view across the market square is impressive, probably the best part of the experience to be honest. The main disappointment is that the history of brugge is what I went for and ultimately what I doesn't at any stage deliver. It's a shame because with the considerable money spent this could of been fantastic. 1 and a half stars out of 5 I'm afraid.
