ibis budget Brugge Centrum Station
This is a budget hotel with very small rooms. Very bare bones. Did not even have a wash cloth. A positive; great location.

Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges
We have been here many times it’s a beautiful hotel, well situated and the rooms and breakfast are amazing. Slightly let down that they wanted to charge us for water bottles when we asked but overall a fantastic stay.
