Scene
Simple apartment hotel set in quaint period building with pretty summer terrace
The Bonobo Apart Hotel occupies a quaint and understated historic building with a simple whitewashed facade and red-tiled roof typical of the Bruges' local architecture. Entry to the lobby -- an unfussy room with simple wooden furnishings and a small reception desk -- is by buzzer or key-code and the space also doubles as a breakfast room. Two sets of large French doors open up onto a summer terrace with seating, umbrellas, and plenty of flowering plants and potted shrubbery. The ambience is relatively modern, bright, and airy, even though the pleasant interiors are rather basic, with little in the way of fancy design or flair in common areas. The complex is run by a couple who ensure the place is clean and guests well looked after. The self-catering set-up attracts largely families with kids and those looking for an affordable, longer-term stay in Bruges.
Location
Quiet, cobbled street setting in historic Bruges, a 10-minute walk from the main square
The hotel is situated on a quiet cobbled street just south of the historic heart of the charming and picturesque city of Bruges. All of the main tourists attractions are well within walking distance, including the main market square and Basilica of the Holy Blood, both less than a 10-minute walk away. Although the city is best explored on foot, car access is also possible and the hotel is just a couple blocks from the R30 highway that connects to the ring road and beyond. Bruges's main train station is about a 15-minute walk away -- or an eight minute bus journey -- while Ostend-Bruges International Airport is a half-hour drive on a good day. Parking is available at the hotel for a fee, and the owners can help with recommendations of sights, restaurants, and day-trips.
Rooms
Fresh, modern, basic apartments -- most with kitchenettes, some with a furnished terrace
The hotel has 11 one- or two- bedroom apartments, most of which have well-equipped kitchenettes for self-catering stays; those that lack kitchens are offered a free breakfast service. All apartments have separate living areas with sofas and flat-screen TVs, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the building. The overall aesthetic is modern and bright, although there's little in the way of adornment apart from the odd artwork or pop of color in a cushion. Bathrooms are generally very modern and spacious, with plenty of natural light and a walk-in rainfall shower. Some apartments open out onto their own terrace with dining furniture and large umbrella. All of the windows are fitted with proper mosquito nets, which, in a canal city like Bruges, is a real bonus that surprisingly few hotels provide.
Features
Garden patio, daily breakfast service, and private on-site parking
For those apartments without self-catering facilities, the hotel serves a simple, buffet breakfast which can also be enjoyed in the pretty rear courtyard on warmer days. Other guests can take advantage of the breakfast service for a fee. There are also tea and coffee facilities available to guests throughout the day and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Those arriving by car also have access to private parking spaces adjacent to the terrace (for a daily fee).
