"Nuestra primera vez en Brujas. Reservamos una habitación con vista a la ciudad y nos dieron una habitación con vista al edificio del frente del Hotel."

Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean and spacious. Hotel was quiet and peaceful, even with a big group hosting a meeting during our stay. Beds were very comfortable and I slept fully zen. The steam room was such an added delight, great after a full day of walking."

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

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed our stay in this characterful hotel which was very well located in the city of Bruges. You’ll need to pre book parking, and it is a few minutes walk away from the hotel. Staff and service were very good and attentive. Our room was in a building across from the main hotel and was a great size, the bathroom was huge!! My only disappointments were a) very thin and small towels b) large, unsightly and noisy fridge in the bedroom which we had to unplug at night and c) no USB sockets for charging phones/tablets. The bar room is beautiful for a drink before heading out for dinner. Breakfast is excellent, what a fantastic choice! We travelled with our dog, and felt very welcome with him. For breakfast, we had a table set up in the bar room which opens up into the breakfast room so we felt like we had our own private dining room!! It’s a great place to stay - if the room ‘niggles’ were sorted I’d give it 5*."

Hotel Aragon

8/10 Good

"Great location, very clean and the staff were absolutely wonderful. If you're a big guy like me make sure you get a shower you can fit in. That was a bit of a challenge. The restaurants outside of the square were much better and less expensive."

Canal View Hotel Ter Brughe by CW Hotel Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel ter Bruges is a magical place. Wonderful staff, gorgeous rooms and a fairytale setting on the canal, I can’t say enough about how magical this spot is."

NH Brugge Hotel

"I enjoyed to stay in the hotel."
