Bruges Hotel Deals
"This hotel was a wonderful location very close to main square. The rooms were well appointed and very clean."
"Great hotel ! Localisation is perfect to visit the city. The staff were very helpful and efficient to book at a restaurant for us. The room was perfect and included everything that we needed. The only negative review I have is the price for the baby bassinet. We decided to use a travel crib instead because we felt like 25 euro every night was a bit excessive."
"MY 'superior' room was so small that there was barely any place to put our 2 small suitcases and we kept hitting our feet and knees along the edges of the bed. It was a very cramped room. Again, NOT a 4 star size ."
