Top Bruges Hotel Reviews

Dukes’ Arches – by Dukes’ Hotel Collection

8/10 Good

"Fabulous breakfast apart from old coffe machine, Friendly helpful staff, lift very small and no floor notices, tired decore and dirty old carpet in our room"

Green Park Hotel Brugge

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was easy to find by car and in a great location to drive into the city centre (we parked at the station car park 15mins away for 7euro all day). Lots of parking but you are charged for parking when you check in (not entirely sure how much as paid it with the tax). The staff and facilities are the stand out for this hotel, the staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond. The facilities are also excellent, the kids indoor and outdoor area and the pool are superb. The breakfast was delicious and a bargain if you pre book when you book the hotel. The rooms are okay, if you're used to budget hotels then it's great, if you're used to fancy hotels then you might be a bit more picky. The bathroom had a bath and shower which is useful with a toddler. We also combined the double bed with the single bed to make one giant bed which was awesome! Overall, we are already planning to stay here again when we come back in the winter. If you have kids this is honestly the best place to stay and would highly recommend."

Martin's Brugge

8/10 Good

"Great location, close to everything. One small issue we had with unclean towel on arrival was taken care of quickly when we reported it. The room was a wee bit stuffy but they were going through a heat wave and the aircon just couldn't keep up."

Boutique Hotel Sablon by CW Hotel Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Historic yet modern hotel close to all the sights in Bruges."

Grand Hotel Normandy by CW Hotel Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room and facility. The building is quite charming. The location is nice (an 8-10 minute walk to the main tourist attractions). It would have been nice to have fresh/lime water available in the lobby (they have some sort of an ice-tea but not water). There is a bus to the train station, which takes about five minutes so quite convenient. The staff was friendly, and they managed to get us checked in a bit early (around Noon)."

Hotel Aragon

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff was super helpful and the location of the hotel was perfect for Market Square. We loved it."

Dukes’ Academie – by Dukes’ Hotel Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very helpful & friendly. Breakfast has a fantastic range of choices Location of hotel is great for visiting all the main sites"

Martin's Relais

10/10 Excellent

"Gina at the front desk was the best—very kind, helpful and informative. The hotel itself is really neat—nice mix of old and new character. We had a room that slept 3 people and it was very spacious and clean. Could use some maintenance in the bathroom, but overall very comfortable. Very accessible, 5 min walk to main square. The restaurant just outside the hotel is also very good!"

Hotel de Orangerie by CW Hotel Collection - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place, lovely breakfast/cocktail room on the river, enchanting experience all around."
