Hotel Bonifacius

The most amazing place to stay. The B&B was wonderful with a beautifully designed room overlooking the canal. Lyne was an amazing host, ensuring we never ran dry of champagne through-out our stay even ensuring we always had the canal view during breakfast. Breakfast was perfect - and huge! Finished off with a delicious waffle. The B&B is a truly special place and made our trip to Bruges. 10/10 recommend

We loved Hotel Bonifacius! Lyne and the team made us feel so incredible welcome. They accommodated our late night arrival and still had a glass of champagne ready when we arrived. Our suite was wonderful and Lyne allowed us to keep our key for the whole day of departure. The breakfast was delicious, including eggs and waffles. The location is perfect - we enjoyed riding right past the breakfast room on the canal boat tour. We would recommend this hotel so highly

Bonifacius: From the Latin, Bonum: Good and Factum: Fate or fortune. We recently stayed at the Bonifacius Guesthouse in Bruges and over the next 12 days we indeed experienced "good fortune." From the general locale of the guesthouse, to the breakfast served and the staff, we were constantly enamored by this cozy, historical B&B. Our host, Lyne Vanhaecke, could not be more attentive to our needs and greeted us every day with a smile, and always asking if there were anything that we needed, as she was always available for our services and/or questions. It's reassuring when you have a host that is willing to go the extra mile to guarantee your stay be a pleasant one. And we would be remiss if we didn't mention her excellent staff who was always attentive at breakfast, or during the afternoon, when you may wish to slip down to the breakfast room and fix yourself a cappuccino or hot chocolate. And speaking of breakfast, once you sat down at your table you were greeted by a sensible plate of fresh fruit: strawberries, pineapple, grapes, Kiwi, and watermelon. A glass of fresh orange juice accompanied this first course, along with a basket of assorted breads, jams, spreads, including Nutella, and a small but sufficient amount of cheese and Prosciutto di Parma. A coffee maker offered an assortment of hot beverages, including black coffee, hot chocolate, cappuccino, latte macchiato. In addition to hot beverages, there were options for refilling your water decanters that were available in your room: Still Water, Still ICE COLD WATER, and Sparking Water, as well. Eggs were offered in various forms: omelettes, scrambled, with an assortment of added ingredients. And just when you thought you were satiated, waffles, hot oatmeal and yogurt with granola would be offered. If you left this guesthouse hungry, it was your own fault! Our room was beautifully appointed with a four-poster bed, chairs, flat screen tv, bath with an adjoining Jacuzzi, and sufficient closet space to accommodate 2 people for a lengthy stay of 12 days. A small refrigerator came in handy for storing ice water and other beverages. One of the premiere aspects of this guesthouse was the lovely rooftop patio which offered a spectacular view over the side canal, toward the Church of Our Lady and the Gruuthuse Palace. Be aware that the Bonifacius Bridge is directly outside the guesthouse and is a very popular spot to "vogue." A photographic tip: After breakfast, visit the bridge immediately, and take that now famous photo because if you wait, you'll never have the chance to see it without tourists. Because there are just a few rooms in the Bonifacius, we would advise booking early as the guesthouse is extremely popular and for a good reason. And if you are lucky to secure a booking, relax and enjoy this truly amazing, beautiful and exquisite guesthouse. And understand what it means to have "good fortune."

Wonderful from start to finish. |This is a special place, and if you can, stay here. |Our room overlooked the busy canal, which can be a bit noisy during the day, with boats passing constantly. Be aware the volume of the commentary (in many languages depending on the group onboard) is high. This is a small price to pay. The room was simple but elegant, and the jetted tub was such a treat after a day exploring. It’s worth noting that the room was very quiet at night, the boats stop around 5 pm and the busy churchyard across the narrow canal is locked in the evening. |Breakfast, as others have noted, is lovely. We enjoyed our pastries and eggs, and barely made a dent in the cold plate of cold cuts and cheese. |There is a tidy roof deck with loungers, and a few rooms facing the street which of course cost less than the canal room. |Lynne was a wonderful host. What a pleasure to stay in one of the most photographed buildings in the town. Charming, unique, and outstanding.

This Guesthouse is an absolute gem of a place with its central location overlooking the canal in the historic medieval centre of Bruges. I recently stayed here for 4 wonderful nights with my daughter. Our rooms were tastefully and individually furnished, very spacious and extremely comfortable. Although many tourists gather around the picturesque Bonifacius Bridge in the daytime to take photos and tourist-filled boats pass by regularly on the canal, it is a haven of peace and calm in the evenings.||Lyne Vanhaecke, who runs the Guesthouse, made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived (and were greeted with a glass of champagne and some magnificent olives) and throughout our entire stay. She was hugely helpful with all our enquiries and gave us some great suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants. The breakfasts were delicious, especially the fruit selection and Lyne happily accommodated our requests for Greek yoghurt and gluten free bread. Nothing was too much trouble which was really appreciated.||I couldn’t recommend this B & B exclusive Guesthouse more highly!

Absolutely wonderful. Perfect in every way. Excellent location, fantastic room, great breakfast, welcoming host, best view in Bruges. Couldn't ask for anything more a tranquil haven right in the centre of everything. With a perfect lounge with free drinks and a secret roof terrace. Amazing find.

We had a wonderful stay. Lyn was so welcoming and the room was lovely - we had the canalside view room. It was nice a quiet and even when the boats started in the morning it wasn't too loud. The bed was really comfy and there was good air con. I loved the old style shutters in the bedroom. We were offered a glass of champagne when we arrived and also at breakfast each morning. We had breakfast overlooking the canal each morning, what a view! The breakfast was wonderful, so much to eat! Lovely fruit salad to srar and pastries/bread and a choice of eggs and you can finish with a waffle if you have room! No need for lunch as breakfast kept is going for ages! Well stocked minibar which is complimentary. Lovely roof terrace, and a jacuzzi style bath which we enjoyed using. Would definitely come back here.

One of the most special and unique places we have ever stayed. Absolutely do it, you won’t be sorry. We had the canal view room, and loved the view across the narrow canal to the glorious church. Something to note- you will hear commentary from the boats passing below. During busy times, there are sometimes two boats per minute with microphones booming from 10 am until 5 pm or so. You’ll most likely be out during these times, and in the evening things are whisper quiet once the church yard is locked and the boat tours stop. The room itself was utterly charming and comfortable, though the bed is quite firm. The bathroom is well equipped if short on storage. The shower has great pressure, and the jacuzzi bath has the strongest jets imaginable- heavenly after a long day of exploring. Breakfast was wonderful, and includes a lovely fruit plate, an assortment of cold cuts and cheese, and eggs however you’d like them (I enjoyed the scrambled eggs sprinkled with salty bacon). If you have room, try a waffle too! Orange juice is fresh, and coffee and tea are plentiful. There are a few rooms facing the street. These are a bit quieter by day, still charming, and quite affordable. All rooms have access to the breakfast room for coffee or tea, and there’s also a rooftop deck with a few seats. Lynne and her assistant do a great job of making sure you’re okay. Lynne organized a car service back to Brussels for us which was a big help after our Eurostar time was changed. We will remember this place forever and heartily recommend it to anyone. Staying at the guesthouse is a world-class experience. Treat yourself!

Unbelievable! Best surprise of our trip! Hands down the best service, most memorable breakfast, and overall best hotel/bnb experience ever--better than the 5 star hotels we've enjoyed in major European cities. Central location. Lyne is a very gracious host. Can't wait to come back.

Bonifacius guest house is a great place to stay right in the heart of old Brugge. The room was very nice and well decorated. The bed was the best one on our trip. The host and staff were helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend and stay there again in the future. Thank you for making our Brugge trip fantastic.
