Hotels near Bruges City Hall 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!

I’ve recently returned from a holiday in Belgium during which I spent three nights staying at the less than impressive Ibis Brugge Centrum. Due to travelling with a friend I didn’t stay at the hotel in Bruges where I stayed when visiting the city in November 2022 and unfortunately stayed here at the Ibis instead. We arrived and checked in just after 3pm. I hadn’t been in my room long, and was just sorting out my luggage before going out, when the bedroom door was opened and a man walked in, the hotel had given my room to a second person. The man went off to reception to get a different room and I followed shortly after to complain about the error. The staff on reception were casually apologetic but told me that these kinds of errors had been happening since a new computer booking system was installed and treated the who issue as though it wasn’t a big deal. I’m aware that implementing new computer systems are never without problems, but in a hotel I would have thought that trying to ensure that the room booking system doesn’t issue a room to multiple people is a pretty basic requirement. As a woman travelling alone it is not a pleasant experience to be in a hotel room and have a stranger walk into the room, it would have been terrifying if it had happened when I had been in the shower or bed, and for the remainder of my time in Bruges I never felt relaxed when in the hotel room. After making my complaint to reception I returned to the room to find that the key card no longer worked. This happened again on my second day at the hotel after a day of sight seeing, and after my previous experience left me wondering if the room had been allocated to someone else while I was out. Even without the experience of the room being allocated to someone else I wouldn’t be planning to return to this hotel; the shower ran cold more than hot, the bed was not comfortable with the mattress feeling like it needed to be replaced, there were only two sockets in the room, one of which was partially blocked by the curtain rail (due to the room being on the top floor the ceiling sloped near the window and the curtain was weirdly hung at an angle), there was mould on the wall beneath the hooks in the bathroom and just a general need for refurbishment. My friend spent the first night in the hotel unable to sleep due to deep vibrations which she assumes were from a nearby generator. The floor was literally shaking. She changed rooms for the remaining two nights of the stay and got the impression that she wasn’t the first person to have complained about the noise problem in room 211. Positives are that the hotel is easily walkable from the train station (although you will be dragging your suitcase over cobbles) and breakfast was a reasonable spread.

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.

Decent location if you want to be near the train station and don’t mind a short walk to the town. Access to the hotel on foot is slightly confusing at first as you have to go through a large car park, but it is very close. We stayed for 2 nights. Generally staff we interacted with during the stay were polite and friendly. They were happy to answer questions and help us book a restaurant. The common areas of the hotel are lovely and modern. Free lemon water is provided in a dispenser in reception along with Biscoff lotus biscuits. The bar is nice for a drink before heading out for dinner. The room wasn’t huge but ok given we were going to be out most of the time anyway. No robes or slippers were provided - which we have had in other 4 star hotels in Europe. Also, the plug socket on one side of the bed didn’t work. The room has a nespresso machine (though only disposable paper cups are provided). Although the machine did the job, the plastic tank where the water goes was cracked and there was no lid. Someone needs to regularly go around all the rooms and check everything is in good order. The shampoo/shower gel products are lovely and they do actually provide bath salts which many other hotels don’t. But we had to give feedback regarding the cleanliness and replenishment of toiletries. The floor in the room and bathroom needs to be vaccumed properly as I could see there were a few crumbs and things (when we first entered). When I asked about this they said it gets done before new guests check in but not daily thereafter. The tissue box in the bathroom had one or two scrunched tissues sitting on top of it(?) Just fill the actual box up! This hotel isn’t a bad option for Bruges but don’t go in with super high expectations. As we were there for a short trip we didn’t get too hung up on things but really the attention to detail in respect of the rooms needs to be improved for the price.

The Aragon hotel is situated almost in the center of Bruges. Accessibility is easy for small cars, if you happen to have a larger station wagon or even a small or large MPV you will find it difficult to park at the hotel (limited parking spots and not easily accessible). The rooms we booked were in a separate building a 2 minutes walk from the main hotel. The walk over there is no issue, dragging you luggage there though is ! Also as the main hotel has the restaurant and breakfast location, you need to walk there, which was not an issue for us (mid summer 2019 it was nice and dry) but would be on a rainy day. The overall price we paid for the rooms was more then OK as the rooms were spacious and nice. The breakfast is OK, but not up to a 4 star hotel rating. At check out, although everything was prepaid I was asked to pay a local tax by credit card which I found disappointing.

Hotel is located very close to the highway, creating a lot of noise. Place is a bit outdated. Our family room was fine. Beds are OK. Everything clean. TV with international channels. Bathroom with shower in bath (curtain) so be careful as slippery. We liked the breakfast which is in buffet form including pancakes; good bread etc Terras with snack and beer offerings. Some are a bit pricy. Parking at hotel at 5 EUR/day Little half hour by bike to Bruges center or 15 minutes by car. Very friendly staff at reception.

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.

This Hotel exceeded all expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed staying here. As well as being absolutely beautiful inside, the Hotel had a lovely ambience, the staff were very friendly and helpful and everything - rooms and public areas- was spotlessly clean. We very much enjoyed the bar which was very reasonably priced, and the very friendly bar tender makes the best ‘Old Fashioned’ cocktail my husband has ever had apparently! The Hotel is very well situated - 10 minutes walk maximum from the main market square where most of the bars and restaurants are situated, and even less than that to the plethora of chocolate shops! The hotel offers underground parking for £25 Euros a night.

Very nice boutique hotel, staff very friendly 👌 location not far from square market where the heart of historical city of Bruges This beautiful place is a must to visit and the waffle to try at the house of waffle 🧇.

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.
