We loved staying at APL8 St-Anna B&B. We found the location to be great and within comfortable walking distance to all the main attractions and museums. We only used the bus to go from the train station to the B&B and back on our last day because our luggage. The area where this B&B is located is mostly residential and so quiet throughout the night, so we had a good night sleep (and with the help of a very comfortable bed). We also really loved having the beautiful St. Anne's church right next to the B&B and seeing its mosaic windows and brick walls from bed. And to make all this better, the host is very helpful and kind and was readily available whenever we needed to contact him. The only minus detail in our experience is that we stayed during what it probably was an Arctic cold front passing through the country because the temperature dropped to -9 Celsius during the night, and it was freezing both in the bathroom and bedroom throughout the night hours. However, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily book in here again. Thanks Francis, and we hope to see you again!

Perhaps a larger duvet? This would be helpful if you're travelling with your partner so both can make sure that are being well covered (particularly if it's cold during the night) and won't be squabbling over who has a larger part of the duvet :-)

The entire room is amazing, spacious and clean as described. The heating system runs automatically so you don't have to worry about, and there is also aircon so you can adjust by yourself. The building is old but the renovation is actually quite new, let alone you have multiple streaming options and the host even gave me some Wondr bath and shampoo bars for my use. After all the entire experience was really good and highly recommend people who want to stay somewhere near the vibrant old city centre but not entirely within the very centrum which pick up a lot of noise.

Like many other hotels resided in old building, you will need to carry your luggage go up for maybe 2 levels depends on which room you booked. If you have a big luggage then probably you need to be prepared for some climbing

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

The shower is sumptuous and the bed quite comfortable. Our host, Francis was very accommodating and allowed us to leave our luggage prior to check-in. He also allowed us to use the washer and dryer located on the ground floor of the building

Our "private" toilet was located outside our room, at the top of the stairs. At night, I felt exposed to leave our bedroom and go into a stairway where anyone walking by could look in the window and see me in my underwear.

Beautiful property, lovely location. Really airy beautiful room. Toilet is outside of room on same floor, but no other guests so was still very private. Easy walking to the centre of town and lovely quiet area. Easy access although rooms could be labelled more clearly for late night arrival! Owner was responsive and incredibly helpful and gracious.

We were confused on arrival as to which room was ours, but owner answered phone despite very late arrival.

Everything was beautiful and we loved staying here. The area is very quiet, not a noice all night although the town was packed with tourists. We slept with the windows open and it was perfect. The place is spotless, lovely bathroom, fantastic towels, great toiletries (wonderful soap bar for hair and body!) The owner was away but we were warmly welcomed by Dirk and both were very quick at responding to any questions we had. They also gave us some good tips regarding dinner locations, unfortunately we asked a bit late and so all the great locations were booked out. Another reason to come back ;-) We fell in love with Bruges and the room we had made it even more perfect.

The missing door to the bathroom - but we got used to it. But maybe not a room for friends or a couple who have just met ;-)

Location excellent. Owner communication excellent Size and comfort of bed excellent Access via pin code very useful Amenities in room excellent

No door to bathroom Two LEDs that needed to be covered overnight Toilet seat lid loose

The room was lovely, and the host had kindly left some shower gifts when we arrived. We were also able to set our room temperature to our liking and there were two huge windows looking out to the church. The host was also super friendly and even sent some recommendations on what to do in Bruges. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

Nothing - we were very satisfied.
