I loved everything! Our room was beautiful, the owners went out of their way to make it special for us. Situated in a lovely and quiet area and also walking distance to everywhere you need to visit in Bruges. A beautiful breakfast was brought to our room every morning, with lovely positive notes to brighten our day, that was really sweet, also extra chocolates or homemade cakes as complimentary were given to us to sample each day. I can't wait to come back here š«¶

The room was very well equipped, decorated and clean. Unusually large bathroom for a B&B, as big as mine at home. Our breakfast, delivered in our room, was delicious and hearty. We were in a quiet neighborhood at 15 minutes walk from main city square. We were welcomed and treated like royalty by our hosts. We felt safe during our entire stay.
There was nothing not to love.

Attention to detail was amazing. The room was spotless, full of quirkiness and charm. A wonderful place to stay. The breakfast was exceptional. Again little details made it, inscriptions on the boiled eggs, salmon on a slate platter, milk and fresh orange in an old style bottle. I could not fault it. The host was lovely, a nice touch at the end of the stay was a little gift and a genuine request for anything that could be improved. We would not hesitate to return.

Our themed room was beautifully detailed as if we stepped into a wealthy home of long ago, yet with all the creature comforts of today! We chose our breakfast each night including home baked Breads, jams, and granola, and it was delivered outside our door at the time we chose on a quaint trolley with accouterments reminiscent of a high tea in a luxurious hotel. Much much more than a simple breakfast! Each afternoon we were surprised with a deliās homemade baked sweet too! Any drink we could imagine was stocked in our mini fridge and of course we could make our coffee and tea served in gorgeous china cups.
We loved everything from the dried rosebud atop of face pads in a silver container to a kitchenette secreted in an antique wardrobe!

Griet and Maarten are exceptionally kind, helpful and generous hosts and provided a comfortable, cozy home base for our 6 night stay in Bruges. Their B&B is located in a quiet residential area about 15 min walk from town center. There is much to see in Bruges and beyond. After busy days of walking and exploring, we were happy to return to the Royal Swans which honestly seemed like home and there was always a delicious baked treat awaiting us! Having breakfast quietly wheeled to us on a trolley and left outside our door was convenient, a relaxing way to start the day and enjoy Maartenās always delicious breakfasts.

Excellent location in very quiet area, about 15 minute walk to centre of Bruges. Griet and Maarten are genuinely lovely people and have an exceptional property, very tastefully furnished with special attention to upcycling detail. Spotlessly clean throughout, we were short of nothing in our room, it even had a hidden kitchenette area with a microwave and fridge. Breakfast was beautifully presented (an amazing choice too) and left unobtrusively outside our room at times to our request- sweet treats were thoughtfully left in our room each day too. Griet gave us a really interesting and informative mini history of Bruges and its geography when we arrived - she made us feel as if weād known her for ages. This is one of the best places we have stayed in on our many travels, we would not hesitate to recommend it.
Absolutely nothing.

The room was decorated beautifully and well laid out. Lovely clean bathroom. Access to the patio area which was a great relaxing spot. Breakfast was amazing and there were many extras that the hosts supplied during our time there. Communication before and during our stay was easy and prompt and the hosts gave lots of suggestions for things to do and places to go in Bruges.

Random traveler: "The perfect hospitality doesn't exist."
Griet & Maarten from the Royal Swans: "Hold my (Belgian) beer..."
I have been around, seen things and stayed places, whether 5 star hotels or cosy boungalows, but the care and attention from Griet and Maarten, the owners of the Royal Swans go well beyond usual hospitality. They are super nice folks who go out of their ways to make your stay unforgettable. And boy, do they have style! The pictures here do not lie: everything is refined and beautiful and high quality, the room decor as well as the the breakfast in the garden. They are full of valuable info and respond immediately to any sort of issues you may have.
Surely, if you picky enough, you may find bits that aren't perfect, but the overall experience will make you forget about them completely. So, take my advice and if there is availability, book your stay real quick.
If only we could have stayed longer

This is one of the best if not the best B&B we have stayed in. The hosts Griet and Maarten were very welcoming. The room was extremely comfortable and well appointed. The tea and coffee making facilities were perfect as were the thoughtful treats awaiting us on our return at the end of each day. Breakfast was delivered to our room, with items being chosen from a long list the previous day. The food included home made items. Our hosts were perfect, discrete but available if you needed them. Their attention to detail was impressive and added to what was a memorable experience. We arrived some what wet from having had to cycle for four hours in the rain. Griet did not bat and eye lid about us dripping water in her lovely B&B and found somewhere warm to dry our not so waterproof jackets and shoes.
Nothing, couldn't fault it.

Comfortable, well appointed, with a wonderful breakfast. Griet and Maarten were excellent hosts. We enjoyed the breakfast, the attention to history in the room and with the lovely overview Griet gave us.
We were .7 miles from city center, very easy to walk. We were 1 mile from the train station, and very close to a walking/running/biking path.
We used several of the recommendations for restaurants and sites to see from our hosts and were very pleased.
Nothing - it was all lovely

The Hosts were wonderful, Greit went out of her way to tell us about the local area and places of interest whilst we sat on the beautiful roof terrace, The attention to detail on furniture and fittings and made a very special boutique individual bed and breakfast. The ordering of breakfast was great and everything lovingly prepared to a very high standard. Very secure in a lovely location away from the hustle and bustle. A lovely home made cake treat awaited us each day on return.

Great location for the centre of Bruges - 10-15 mins walk, the hotel is tastefully decorated and has all the facilities you need.
Griet the owner was very helpful and went the extra mile by leaving small gifts and snacks for us when we returned to the room.
I would definitely book again
Not the hotels fault but there are some roadworks outside of the property which make it difficult to access with luggage, particularly if you have mobility issues - Griet and Maarten informed of this before we travelled and itās no reflection on the hotel. Once the roadworks have been completed the area is very flat and easily accessible for all.

Excellent breakfast. Helpful and informative hosts - with some great recommendations. Reasonably close to attractions (20 mins walk to center). Our own Christmas tree in the room and lots of surprises every day that made our Christmas in Brugge special. Free parking was about 5-10 minutes walk away.

Griet was the most amazing host. From the moment we arrived she made us feel so welcome. It was the little touches that made it for us, from the little 'have a great day' notes with breakfast, to coming back in the evening to find homemade sweet treats. It was my birthday whilst we were there and our breakfast trolley was decorated with balloons! Griet also gave us recommendations of things to do and places to eat. Local knowledge of the 'hidden gems'. A perfect little break and would love to go back.
Nothing!

This is a brand new B&B ran by two wonderful hosts Griet and Maarten. This was our first ever visit to Brugge but this is the only place we will now stay if we return. What an amazing find. A boutique top quality B&B just outside the main city walls. You can be in the centre within a 10 minute walk. The rooms are contemporary and lovingly created incorporating historic items lovingly restored by Griet. For example in one of our rooms was a stain glassed window from the local church now placed between the en-suite bathroom and bedroom. This is just one wonderful example. On arrival Griet gave us detailed information about the city and places to go including historical information. Her knowledge is amazing and we were lucky to have her advice! Maarten also greeted us with homemade bread pudding laced with Rum on our arrival! He also made beautiful pastry creations every day which were left in our rooms for us to enjoy at our leisure. Breakfast was perfect and Griet went the extra mile for us so we and our friends could share breakfast in the same room. Nothing was any trouble. Parking was easy and there was no issue locating the free car park less than a 5 minute walk away, with Griet's help.
The ared is very safe and the car was fine. There is a little park next to the B&B on the way back from Brugge. We stopped there a few times to enjoy wine from the outside bar which is open quite late. A lovely atmosphere. As I say, this place is a true find. A perfect haven in a perfect location with the most perfect hosts. An absolute must when visiting Brugge and we will most cert back. Thank you Griet and Maarten. Brilliant in every respect.

Griet was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The B&B is also very beautiful. Breakfast was served on the second floor and the weather was perfect for eating in the terrace area while enjoying great conversations with other guests. I would highly recommend staying here.
It CAN be a little noisy if people are walking up and down stairs, but it is not a deterrent.

The breakfast was lovely, and beautifully presented, brought to our door each morning. Griet & Maarten were the perfect hosts, and nothing was too much trouble. The decor was lovely, and one could tell that much thought had gone into designing the space and thinking what the guests would need. The property was only 10 minutes walk from the centre of Bruges, and Griet was informative about the sights.
