Shower is in the bathtub without a way to hold shower head mounted to wall above while showering. Also there is no door on the shower room, only a curtain. Nice looking room just odd configuration.

The receptionist was extremely helpful. We had a hard time finding how to get to the parking garage thru the streets of Brugge which made is almost late for a scheduled tour. She was very helpful in trying to help me contact the tour agency and very good with giving us directions. A more detailed description on how to access the parking (underground) should be added to the hotel website.

We recently stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. Great hotel within a short walk to the centre of Bruges. We had a family room with two twin beds and a queen bed which was a Murphy bed. The Queen bed had a hard mattress which made it a bit hard to sleep on and the shower area had no door which were the only challenges. Overall a good experience and there was a nice food market on Saturday in the square outside our hotel which was a nice surprise.

Hotel Portinari was a great choice for three of us travelling together. We were within walking distance to public transportation and local attractions like Charles Bridge and the downtown area. We spent 3 nights here and would happily stay again when visiting Prague. Staff were attentive and helpful, and the breakfast offerings in the morning before the days adventures were a great way to start out.
