Staff was very helpful. What we do not like - to have sink in in the room, also the size of the sink- sorry it is too small.

Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges
We have been here many times it’s a beautiful hotel, well situated and the rooms and breakfast are amazing. Slightly let down that they wanted to charge us for water bottles when we asked but overall a fantastic stay.
