Hotels near The Markt in Bruges

The hotel is in the perfect location to visit and experience all that Bruges has to offer, it is literally 2 mins from the Belfry and the main square. We drove to Bruges and used their secure underground garage for the duration of our stay. The rooms are basic but very comfortable, the bed in particular was very comfy! We had a very small balcony overlooking the road, which was lovely to get the atmosphere. We would have liked tea/coffee making facilities in the room and there was no iron / ironing board (although they were available from reception is needed). The bathroom was spacious and clean, with plenty of hot water for the shower. Although the hotel has a terrace, you can’t use it past 10pm due to noise restrictions, so we moved inside and were served by the stand out star of the hotel for us… Vlaktko the excellent bar man. He makes the best Moscow Mules! He was friendly and attentive and went over and above to help us. We found the check in / check out service to be a little slow. Overall, I would recommend this hotel without hesitation, it is just perfectly located and if you stay then say Hi to Vlatko!

We stayed here overnight during a brief visit to Bruges. We chose this hotel because the hotel was centrally located and the building itself was charmingly renovated with nice views of the city and it blended in nicely with the ambiance of the historic center. It was also very close to the tram stop from the train station. Most locations of interest are within a very short walking distance of the hotel. The staff was accomodating. The room itself was clean, quiet, and comfortable and we slept very well here. Our room did not look out over the canal but had a very very nice city view from the top floor. The room itself is small but pleasing. The breakfast was very average but satisfying. We paid €12 per person and thought it was worth no more than that. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again when in Bruges due to its central location and its charming ambiance.

The hotel is less than 2 kilometers from the train station and close to the attractions. It is quite easy to find it along Google Maps. The hotel has a nice setting and it looks like a very emotional hotel. The room we stayed on was on the first floor, so as not to walk up and down. The toilet and bathroom in the room are separated from the wet and the wet, and the sink has two basins for washing. The bed is a bit too soft, and people with low waist may feel tired after falling asleep. There are no slippers, toothbrushes and water in the room. Please pay attention to this. Basically, the rooms are relatively large, and a good hotel for a day or two, after all, the price is relatively cheap.

We loved the Dukes Palace. We had no idea of its history but the palace structure, the layout and the large courtyard hinted at the opulent life of its former inhabitant, the Duchess of Burgundy who presided over the area in early history. It's a marvel what they had done in terms of creating beautiful rooms out of the palace space. The location was perfect, right on one of the main commercial streets in the old city center. They had elegant corridors, well-decorated spaces for informal lounging. The rooms were tastefully furnished. Breakfast was good, with an egg station. They brought coffee to you in nice porcelain containers. And interestingly, they had slabs of white, dark and milk chocolates that you could cut pieces of. This was pretty unique. All the staff were courteous and very accommodating. My wife complained of an unpleasant smell as we would come out of the hotel - but not sure what that was - cat's poop? The pillows were too large round and hard - my wife complained but they didn't have any other type.

The Portinari is in a great location near the middle of Bruges - we had views of the cathedral and bell tower from our room. The room was spacious and modern with a very nice bathroom. The espresso maker was a nice touch. Breakfast was decent if a bit overpriced (but then aren't most things on a city break?). Another nice touch was the dispenser for free still/sparkling drinking water. Only comment was: we would have loved a drink in the hotel bar but it was never open - despite the literature stating it was open from 6pm. Shame as we would have stayed up with a beer/card game. Overall a great stay and would definitely come here again.

Just back from a weekend in Bruges and I can't recommend the Hotel Bryghia highly enough. It's in a great location - just far enough out of the centre to be blissfully quiet and but less than 10 mins walk from the Market Square and Belfry. Right next to a beautiful canal and bridge. It was the perfect balance of an old building but with modern facilities. The bed was so comfortable, we had the best night's sleep. We were welcomed by the very warm, friendly owner, and by some Belgian chocolates in our room! The map and local knowledge he shared were priceless. We are already planning to visit again in the Summer and will definitely book the Bryghia.

Having stayed several times at the Dukes Palace, Bruges, and this being a sister hotel, I expected a similar standard. It's not. Reception staff cold, unfriendly and frankly, unhelpful. Booked a parking space, but one had not been reserved for me (there's only four parking spaces at the hotel - and one of those was being used by the hotel manager). Was told I would have to leave my car in a public car park. I did not want to do this for security reasons. Having visited Bruges around 20 times, I am fully aware that parking is extremely limited, hence the reason I booked the car park. They had no record of me booking the car park (booked through Hotels.com) and did not have any spaces available (if I had been the hotel manager, I would have offered to move my car for my guest - the fact that this didn't happen tells you everything). I took it upon myself to pop over to its sister hotel, the Dukes Palace, and explained my situation. The staff there were very helpful and said I could park my car in their car park. Why couldn't the receptionist at the Dukes Arches arrange that? Absolute zero customer service. Bar area, whilst very nicely appointed, completely lacked atmosphere, despite being quite busy. Breakfast service was good. Staff within the breakfast room were very helpful and friendly. Courtyard room lacked a courtyard view (please see photo). Bed was very comfy. I was concerned about the low water temperature in the bathroom (I'm familiar with legionella) and reported this to the reception staff. Met with a shrug of the shoulders! Be aware that with the ground floor courtyard rooms, there is a corridor off the car park to access these. The external door does not closely very well and with cars coming and going, the corridor fills with car exhaust fumes. Overall, very disappointed. I will be coming back to Bruges (fabulous place), but will never stay at this hotel again.

Environment: It is quite spacious hotel in Europe, the surrounding is very quiet, the hotel is very clean, and the bicycle theme hotel is quite distinctive. There are large supermarkets and gas stations in close proximity to the hotel. Service: The front desk is very intimate and all aspects are in place. Restaurant service staff is also very good. Transportation: About 3 kilometers from the city center, it is convenient to go out and drive by car. Parking: The hotel has an indoor car park for a fee, as well as a large outdoor free parking lot, which is quite safe. Meals: There is a buffet at night, 30 euros, which is comparable to the price of the outside restaurant. If you want to eat more high-end Michelin, you can go out to the suburbs and there will be many surprises. In-room device: There is a capsule coffee machine, no slippers, no toothbrush, no towel, no yellowing

Conveniently located near to shops and Christmas markets. Very friendly staff. Breakfast very good with wide range on offer. The breakfast staff will gladly prepare anything you require. We stayed in room 29. Clean and comfortable although had we known the shower and wash basin would be in the same room without a door, we might have chosen a different room. There was a definite smell about the hotel..drains we think as we smelt it in other places in brugge. It was quite strong in reception and by the lift. We also had a smell of it occasionally in our room. Again because there was no seperation from the bedroom area, there was no way of shutting it out. Overall a good experience but expensive for what it is as calls itself a ‘boutique’ hotel. I would suggest some investment into some new towels also as the ones we had were small and rather tatty.

You get what you pay for. We have just got back after 5 nights here. They changed the sheets once and the towels every day. It was clean and we had BBC1, BBC2 and ITV1 on the telly. At €9 the breakfasts are okay- very basic. The rooms are small, and storage is inadequate. The slightest level of clutter will make your room look a mess. There aren't that many plug sockets and two of them are hard to access. The lavatory has a good flush and the shower is efficient. It cost €350 for 5 nights, and staying in Brugge for that is pretty cheap. Suss out the buses to and from the centre. Night buses run from Stadshouburg at 22:00 and 23:00, saving a bit of a yomp back when you will almost certainly have eaten, and may even have had a few drinks. You will want to do some culture. The museum pass bought while flashing your Brugge card which the hotel will give you will cost you €28 and it will pay for itself if you only go to see the Flemish Primitives at the Groeninge and have a look around the Gruuthuise museum.
