I found Hotel Maraboe to be a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, just minutes from the city center, making it easy to explore Bruges. However, I encountered issues with the outdated room decor and the cleanliness standards, which definitely detracted from my overall stay. Breakfast was a highlight, but the inconsistencies with room amenities left me feeling a bit disappointed.
