The location is very centralized. The owners met us at the door and were very welcoming. They even insisted on helping us tote our luggage to the room. When we departed, they helped us call for a taxi. The beds were comfortable. The small refrigerator had samples of local beer for purchase. The butterfly embroidered on the linens and cloths was a lovely touch.

Two of our family members bumped their head on exposed wooden beams which cross the space. The steps of the ladder to the loft really hurt the bare feet of those needing loft access. The stairs are very sleep and shallow to access the space.

The Butterfly was hands down one of the coolest and most unique places we've ever stayed. It was perfect for our family of four and we all loved the exposed beams, ladder to the loft and comfortable amenities throughout the space. It was a great bonus that the owners also have a bar downstairs with an amazing beer menu. We were able to enjoy some delicious drinks mere steps away from our room at the end of a long day of sightseeing. The location is also ideal in that it's just a few minutes walk to the main square, but far enough away from the busy center that it didn't feel loud or crowded.

Great location, close enough to walk downtown, but far enough it's not too loud. Only a few paces to the canals. Family room is fun! Kids loved the loft. For those looking at the photos and wondering how it works, the stairs can be moved to the loft area. It blocks the front door a bit (which is why it's stored to the side) but actually you can still go through the front door. Also, there is a little gate that closes at the ladder area so little kiddos won't fall. Plenty of room to sleep (2 in loft, 2 in sofa bed, 2 in queen/double bed) so if you are less than 6 people, there are a lot of options for differing comfort levels. Nice modern bathroom. Very friendly hosts. We parked in the main underground lot for Bruges and took a free shuttle that drops you off a block away. In the same plaza as shuttle drop are two great breakfast places, one plant-based and one of the few places to get "English breakfast," so great for the varied palates of our family. The stairs are steep but awesomely historic. Like everything in a historic place, please use your brain and not expect the same safety features as in the US. Wifi is pretty good (my husband was able to work), but spotty. Luckily, the best place to use it was in the sitting area of the place (but not the bed 5 feet away). Overall, highly recommend.

I don't expect or even want A/C given this is a historic building, but a fan would be great. Otherwise, you have to keep the windows wide open, and the alleyways of Bruges are narrow and lined with stone buildings so sound does bounce a bit.

Our kids said it's the best family room we ever stayed at! Nice cosy room with a character. We loved setup and decor, including loft bed. There are 4 queen beds to choose from, so plenty of space even for a larger family. Nespresso machine and kettle for tea, town maps available, hosts gave us recommendations for places to eat.

We liked everything, but it's useful to know, that it's a narrow winding staircase up, so could be hard to walk up for someone older or not in a good shape (was totally fine for us) and getting the luggage up isn't easy (but hosts offered to help)

The apartment is newly renovated and extremely well done... No detail has been spared! The owners clearly put a lot of thought and attention to detail into every aspect. They are very friendly and have a great little pub right down the staircase which is great for a late night beer after a long day of sightseeing! Higly recommend booking your stay at Butterfly... We were sad to have to leave.

I like to sleep with a fan/air flow... So would be great to add a ceiling fan or oscillating fan for those like me. Minor gripe...

One room, one double bed and two double sofa beds and another mattress on a mezzanine but tall ladder climb to get to that. All very comfortable. Very clean, nice shower, lovely character room. Location and host great. All good, but just be aware that the stairs are narrow and only suitable for the able bodied

This is a very special place due to the cool aesthetics, wonderful and helpful hosts, comfortable beds and pillows, and exceptional location (central yet quiet). It’s obvious how much care and attention was put into creating these wonderful accommodations. We very much hope to return some day.

Great location and tons of charm. The hosts have done a fantastic job making this apartment comfortable and modern feeling without diminishing the charm of the historic structure. The location was fantastic for exploring the city but quiet enough to escape crowds. My children loved the loft space. We would certainly stay again if we are lucky enough to return!

Breakfast not included but we were able to get breakfast a short distance walk away as it was very close to the city centre. Very clean, comfortable beds and the apartment was big enough for a family of five.

Stairs were a little difficult to manage. Car parking is not easy in the centre of town.

So beautiful & very clean. The pull down beds were ok, comfy’ish but a bit creaky. The shower was amazing! The bed at the top via a step ladder would be wonderful for kids or younger people, such a pretty quirky property.

The stairs were quite steep to get to the room - but worth it.
