Top hotels in Bruges Center
Martin's Brugge
A few steps from the main square and shopping streets. Also river cruise just around the corner. Plenty of restaurants to choose from . Just be aware that almost all meals come with chips/fries and vegetables and potatoes are almost impossible to find.

Boutique Hotel Sablon by CW Hotel Collection
The hotel was lovely and the breakfast each morning was excellent. However, the room wasn't cleaned properly, with towels being left on the window sill and dust on surfaces. Location wise the hotel is great for exploring Bruges
