Top 10 The Doghouse Hotels

It's hard to decide what the best feature of this hotel was. The location is excellent because it is on the edge of the commercial district, and not directly in it, as some of the other hotels we considered staying in were. This meant it was quiet and peaceful but still only a few minutes walk to the center of town. The hotel itself feels more like a private home than a hotel which made it feel really personal. The staff was excellent and could not have been more helpful and friendly. The room was mostly comfortable with a very comfortable bed, nice bathroom, good towels, etc. Our only complaint was that the air conditioning in our room (number 26) was under powered and the only unit in the room was on the opposite side of the room than the bed. Even with the thermostat set to the lowest temperature, the room was too warm overnight. If not for this, I would give the hotel 5 stars. Overall though, this is a great hotel and very worth staying at.

We are staying in a junior suite with breakfast. €620 for 3 nights. The hotel is small and beautifully formed with 32 rooms. The staff are extremely helpful and know you by name. Our room (109) is spacious and immaculately clean. The sofa and bed are both very comfortable, the shower has great water pressure and there is a bath, that I wasn’t expecting in a small city hotel. The room is in keeping with the style of the hotel and indeed the area. There is also a small balcony. Breakfast is for those who enjoy slow starts with very tasty food cooked to order and a glass of fizz. Lovely little bar and lounge area too. The place rubs off on customers too who are all so friendly. If in Bruges, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

We loved the Dukes Palace. We had no idea of its history but the palace structure, the layout and the large courtyard hinted at the opulent life of its former inhabitant, the Duchess of Burgundy who presided over the area in early history. It's a marvel what they had done in terms of creating beautiful rooms out of the palace space. The location was perfect, right on one of the main commercial streets in the old city center. They had elegant corridors, well-decorated spaces for informal lounging. The rooms were tastefully furnished. Breakfast was good, with an egg station. They brought coffee to you in nice porcelain containers. And interestingly, they had slabs of white, dark and milk chocolates that you could cut pieces of. This was pretty unique. All the staff were courteous and very accommodating. My wife complained of an unpleasant smell as we would come out of the hotel - but not sure what that was - cat's poop? The pillows were too large round and hard - my wife complained but they didn't have any other type.

Beautifully appointed historic hotel in a fabulous location, right on a canal. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We arrived a bit early but not to worry, they offered some refreshments out on their patio while we waited, which was a very nice touch. Hotel and room was very clean, very nice modern bath and luxury amenities. Breakfast was very good with lots of variety of wonderful meats, cheeses, fruits, yogurts and breads. We really enjoyed our stay and a bonus is it is next to a very nice brewery, in case you get thirsty!

Nice room, cute, clean  Close to check in source  Good service staff  Convenient transportation 

The Aragon hotel is situated almost in the center of Bruges. Accessibility is easy for small cars, if you happen to have a larger station wagon or even a small or large MPV you will find it difficult to park at the hotel (limited parking spots and not easily accessible). The rooms we booked were in a separate building a 2 minutes walk from the main hotel. The walk over there is no issue, dragging you luggage there though is ! Also as the main hotel has the restaurant and breakfast location, you need to walk there, which was not an issue for us (mid summer 2019 it was nice and dry) but would be on a rainy day. The overall price we paid for the rooms was more then OK as the rooms were spacious and nice. The breakfast is OK, but not up to a 4 star hotel rating. At check out, although everything was prepaid I was asked to pay a local tax by credit card which I found disappointing.

We visited Bruges for the first time earlier this month and came across this hotel which looked good online so we decided to go for it. We were definitely not disappointed! The service of all of the staff we met was amazing, very friendly and eager to help and have a chat with you (in multiple languages). The bar man in particular had expert level knowledge of local beers, gave some good recommendations of places to go including marking it on the maps and we had a nice chat with him for a good couple of hours while enjoying his drink recommendations at the bar. The room was very clean and a good standard with plenty of room for all of our things. The pool facilities were lovely and clean and very enjoyable to use. The breakfast was tasty and even when busy the staff were quick and friendly. It was also a very accessible hotel as there were ramps over the small stairs and elevator access to the higher floors. To top it off the hotel was also only a 25 minute walk from the train station and less than 5 minutes walk from the main square so an excellent location. We will definitely be telling our friends about this hotel if they want to visit Bruges and will return here ourselves in the future.

Clean and sanitary, the location is close to the railway station and the urban area, there is a small place over there and you can go there in a while. The single room I ordered was less than 500rmb. It feels very good as soon as I go in. The crush on the reception talked to me for a while. I especially envy that I can travel to many European countries. She has not been to China and wants to go out.

My husband and I stayed in Hotel Ter Brughe for three nights. What a beautiful old building full of history. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We had a canal view and what a beautiful view it was. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. I cannot say one negative thing about this wonderful hotel. The location was excellent too, within walking distance the main square, restaurant's and shops. I cannot recommend Hotel Ter Brughe enough.
