"Great Breafast. Clean place , front desk girl was nice but the manager wasn’t . We paid for a canal view and they gave us a roof , outdoor AC looking view . Manager offered us a. Upgrade ,because all of the canal views were gone, when we came downstairs after a 10 hour flight She said the upgrade will cost 140 euros more . Wish she had mentioned it before we went upstairs then came back with our luggage’s . I said no. We already paid high price. Then she offered a canal view but next day after some guest will check out at 11 But we had an early excursion so for another night wasn’t worthy to pack and unpack again . So we made it through the Roof view ."

"The best things about this hotel were comfortable beds, a good size room and excellent staff, especially the lady who checked us in. Onyeka (not sure is this spelling is correct) greeted us warmly, and gave us waffles and a chance to win free parking on a spin the wheel game, which we did! She also gave us great recommendations for a restaurant in Bruges and suggested a stroll by the water that was absolutely charming. Best check in yet! There were a couple of things needing some attention, the bathroom was tired and the bath was very slippery when using the shower. It would have been nice to have proper cups/mugs instead of plastic cups in the room for hot drinks. Overall a good stay for a brief trip to Bruge."

"We stayed at Radisson Blu Bruges for two nights. Overall, the hotel was comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were both very clean, and the bathroom in particular was spacious and well maintained. We were a little disappointed with our room upgrade. The room had an unusual shape which made the bedroom area feel quite small, and although I had requested a room with a view, our outlook was mainly over a car park and some surrounding areas under construction. My brother’s room, however, was perfectly fine. The location is very convenient for Bruges railway station, which is only a few minutes walk from the hotel. The historic centre of Bruges is a little further, but still within walking distance. Overall, a pleasant stay with good service and excellent cleanliness, although our particular upgraded room did not quite meet our expectations."

When is the best time to go to Bruges?
The best time to go to Bruges is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.In spring, Bruges comes alive with blossoming flowers, particularly in the Begijnhof, offering a picturesque setting. The temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 10°C to 15°C, making it comfortable for walking tours and canal cruises. You'll find the city less crowded than in the peak summer months, meaning quicker access to attractions like the Belfry of Bruges and the Groeningemuseum.Autumn also provides agreeable weather, with temperatures similar to spring, usually between 10°C and 16°C. The changing leaves add a beautiful dimension to the city's canals and historic architecture. This period is ideal for couples looking for a romantic getaway, as the slightly cooler air and fewer tourists create a more intimate experience. You can enjoy cosy evenings in traditional pubs and explore the city's chocolate shops and breweries without the summer rush.While summer (June to August) offers the warmest weather and longer daylight hours, it's also the busiest time, with higher hotel prices and larger crowds at popular spots.
