Top Bruges Hotel Reviews

Velotel Brugge

10/10 Excellent

"So I dont often write reviews, but this hotel blew me away for its price and quality. The lobby was built nice and smelled nice too with lots of antiques, the terrace on the side of the building was also really nicely built and facing a park/field. It wasnt soo expensive but for the price I payed I got an excellent small yet simple room that smelled fresh and tidy with a nice bathroom. There is a decent sized parking lot behind the building, and a cover parking that you have to pay for. It sits in a great spot outside of Brugge especially If you are travelling around by Bicycle, which by the way you can rent at the reception for a decent price. All in all it usually takes a big impression for me to write a review but In my opinion, this hotel gave more bang for your buck. 5/5"

"Very good hotel, hotel staff very helpful"

Grand Hotel Normandy by CW Hotel Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Overall an excellent 3 night stay for my wife's special birthday in beautiful Bruges, a lovely quaint hotel, good location with easy access into the City , with friendly staff and a superb breakfast, however some tlc in parts of the hotel need attention ie skirting coming away, stained carpets and paintwork, our room was tired and could do with a freshen up and staff although friendly need to have more attention to detail, on our very 1st night we reported our toilet continuously running water, and the safe was locked and needed resetting but neither of these were done during the whole of our stay and our teabags, milk and sugar weren't replenished either so that part of our stay was disappointing but would still recommend the Grand"

Hotel Navarra Brugge

8/10 Good

"Good sized room and hotel is in a great location. Breakfast room and reception interior is lovely. Having a mini fridge was useful and the sofa too. The pool was lovely and very quiet. Staff were very helpful. There's a piano in the bar but no one to play it and bar man on his own and always under a lot of pressure to get drinks out."

Martin's Brugge

10/10 Excellent

"Our check in was a little rocky but other than that we’ve had a pleasant stay"

"Large quiet room with two windows that opened over the canal. Pretty quiet at night. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Great breakfast buffet - the smoked salmon was delicious. Safe neighborhood with several excellent outdoor restaurants. Not enough electric outlets."

Novotel Brugge Centrum

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely lovely hotel, great location in Bruges. Really clean, great sized room, modern, quiet. Highly recommend if staying in Bruges!"
