Boutique Hotel Sablon by CW Hotel Collection
Great location -very convenient for everything. Friendly staff. Have stayed in hotel previously & this is first time we’ve had room facing onto street (#4) not good, can be noisy throughout night with people “partying “!! Strange that windows had no privacy screen/blind which meant choice of daylight ...

Novotel Brugge Centrum
Great location, good amenities (I did care about kettle and tea bags, and it all was there! Also, it was good to have a refrigerator to keep our sandwiches there). Staff is polite and efficient. Good to have locker to keep our bags after checking out.

Canal View Hotel Ter Brughe by CW Hotel Collection
Excellent location near the historic market district. It a classic hotel that generates an old world feel. No lift; so be ready to carry your bags up the old stairs. Breakfast was simple but elegant and fresh. Staff was helpful. I would stay again any time
