Martin's Brugge
This was a nice, clean hotel room with a good amount of space for our family of four. The location was perfect for exploring Bruges and it's easy to walk to any of the popular sites. It was about a 15min walk from the train station. We would definitely stay here again & recommend it to friends!

Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges
Great location and clean hotel. I would recommend this hotel. The only reason I didn’t give a higher score is because the staff were not very friendly.
