Bruges Hotels with Bars

My stay at Crowne Plaza Bruges was excellent in every way. The hotel enjoys an outstanding location right in the heart of Bruges, just steps away from the city’s main squares and major attractions, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city on foot. The service was exceptional, and the staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The rooms were spacious, elegant, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, with everything needed for a pleasant stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bruges who is looking for a comfortable stay in a perfect central location.

Girard at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The room was amazing with one of the best views of the canal we could have hoped for!  Location was perfect.  Highly recommended!  Breakfast was very good and worth getting. Hard to find breakfast before 11 anywhere else.

We stayed for one night in two charming canal-view rooms while visiting Bruges with my father, who has limited mobility and walks quite slowly. Although there are a few steps in and out of the hotel, he was still able to get around without too much difficulty. The rooms were clean and full of character. We were a little disappointed that our “canal view” rooms were on the ground floor, as we had hoped for a higher-floor view, but the setting was still lovely. For a four-star hotel, however, the room amenities were quite basic. There was no shampoo or conditioner provided. When we asked at reception, we were given shampoo, but conditioner wasn’t available. One positive was that we arrived very early (around 12:30 pm), and the young gentleman at reception kindly checked and found one room ready for us, which we really appreciated. I also asked two members of the reception staff for recommendations for good local restaurants for lunch and dinner. Unfortunately, the advice was simply to “go around the corner,” which wasn’t particularly helpful for anyone looking for quality local food. We eventually found Brasserie Forestière ourselves, which turned out to be excellent. It was also great to see the hotel’s commitment to sustainability. The room key was made from a non-plastic material rather than the usual plastic card, which was a thoughtful touch and something I really appreciated. The location is fantastic—quiet yet only a short walk from all the main sights. Breakfast was excellent, with a good selection, and my father especially enjoyed it. Overall, it’s a charming hotel in a beautiful location with comfortable rooms and a very good breakfast. A little more attention to in-room amenities and more personalised local recommendations from reception would have made the stay even better.

Hotel Portinari in Bruges is a gem! The modern design is both stylish and inviting, creating a lovely atmosphere. My room was comfortable and well-appointed, making it a perfect retreat. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the city’s main attractions. The friendly staff added to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Bruges!

The hotel is located near the canals and next to a carrefour express so convenient to get grocery. The room is quite spacious and clean My room has a good view of the church of lady

Friendly staff, lovely hotel, buffet breakfast was good value and convenient. Location was spot on and the family room was cosy, clean and had loads of space. Nuts from mini bar were cheaper than in the supermarket which we couldn’t believe. Only downside was the shower head wouldn’t stay in the holder so we had to hold it to shower which was a shame. Overall we would return if we came back to Bruges.

The room is quite big for Belgium, and the service is good. The advantage is that the wet and dry rooms are separated, but the only drawback is that there is no sink in the bathroom, so you have to go to the shower room to wash your hands. But this can be overcome. Everything else is good, the name is a bit strange from the Chinese perspective, but it doesn't matter.

The room was spacious. The price was reasonable. The hotel is next to the train station which is walkable to the town center. The staff was very friendly. There is drinking water some snacks and fruits upon arrival.

My bunkbed didn’t have a curtain so I asked to change at reception. Unfortunately, I was changed to a bunkbed next to the door which was unnecessarily loud. On my last night there there was also a constant beeping that everyone complained about. It’s a clean hostel with a pub, which was pretty cool. My room was in a building separate to the pub. The kitchen was great with a cute outside area to eat. It’s a bit of a walk to the train station but there are buses.

Cheap and easy to live in, much better than the youth hostels in Brussels and Amsterdam. It is 10 minutes away from the train station and you can store your luggage for free; there is a relaxing public area with a variety of tableware and kitchen supplies, as well as free coffee and tea bags; it takes about 15 minutes to reach all attractions, and there are many other places nearby There are several supermarkets.
