My stay at Hotel Jan Brito was a good mix of charm and comfort, though it wasn't without some hiccups. The historic ambiance of the hotel was absolutely stunning, and I especially loved the spacious room layout with its cozy furnishings. However, I did run into some issues with room cleanliness and a slightly noisy atmosphere that detracted from the experience. Overall, I left feeling satisfied but with a couple of concerns in mind.

During my stay at Hotel Jan Brito, I experienced both highs and lows. The hotel's historic charm and prime location made it easy to explore Bruges. However, my room had a very unpleasant smell despite requesting fresh linens, which affected my overall comfort. Although the staff were generally friendly, my interaction with a manager left much to be desired, making me feel unvalued. Overall, the hotel has potential but fell short in maintaining cleanliness and addressing concerns effectively. 😔🏨

The room I stayed in was beautifully designed, featuring unique layouts. However, I encountered a persistent strong smell that didn't fully go away even after housekeeping attended to it. It was disappointing as I had to use a bathrobe as a blanket instead of the bed.

My stay at Hotel Jan Brito was an interesting experience. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to Bruges' highlights. I enjoyed the spacious junior suite despite it overlooking a quieter side street, though I did expect it to face the garden. On the downside, my room was a bit too warm, and I had issues with the bathroom not being cleaned during my stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Jan Brito. The location is fantastic. just a short walk to the main square while still being in a quiet area. The historic charm of the hotel with its original beams and character was good, but the bathroom felt a bit dated. Overall, I'd say the experience was quite pleasant and nice.

I stayed in a duplex family room, which was cozy and full of character, featuring beautiful old beams. but it was a bit tricky to navigate with the slanted ceilings. The comfortable bed and good water pressure in the shower enhanced my stay.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. especially one staff member who really went above and beyond. However, the single reception staff member can create delays when many guests are around.

The location couldn't have been better. close enough to the heart of Bruges for easy exploration, yet far enough to allow for peaceful evenings. I loved being able to walk to the canal and local attractions with ease.

Breakfast was a highlight, with a nice selection including freshly prepared fruit salad. although I found it somewhat pricey considering many better options are nearby. The dining room itself was lovely, adding to the overall ambiance.

The hotel offered good facilities. a quaint bar area for drinks, though it only serves breakfast and no food throughout the day. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the cleanliness of the spaces was commendable.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Jan Brito. The historic charm of the building, complete with beautiful wooden beams and cozy public rooms, made my experience feel unique. Plus, the location was fantastic-just a short walk from the city center, with many restaurants and sights nearby. However, noise from other guests above my room occasionally disturbed my peaceful ambiance, but it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment.
Rooms

My junior suite was large and luxurious, featuring beautiful period furniture and an adjoining marble bathroom with both a tub and a shower. However, it was quite noisy due to creaky floorboards above. I also noticed some insects in another room during my stay, which could use a bit of renovation.
