Bruges hotels

I liked the Dukes’ Academie (not to be confused with the Hotel Dukes’ Palace). It was a decent hotel, great location. Within walking distance to everything, including the train station. And the breakfast was so good. I stayed there Sept./Oct. 2023.

Note the Centrum Shuttle, free transportation circular route from the train station through the old town, 7am to 7pm, 7 days a week. Makes it easy getting around.
In my Trip Report, posted on your other thread, I've named our wonderful Bruges cottage, right on a canal. I'd highly recommend that property. Safe Travels!

Pat,

Was this the place in Bruges?

Thanks very much

Tcgnj,
Yesssss! I'd return in a heartbeat. The wood burning fireplace was great on a rainy day, or cool evenings. Every afternoon, sweet treats were left out. And - a two block walk to the main plaza.
The property has about six units, so don't wait to book. And, they want cash to be paid at the end of the stay.
Enjoy!

We’re looking for hotel in old part of Brugge for early June. We’ll look at those. Has anyone recently stayed at Hotel ter Reien? https://www.hotelterreien.be/en/p/home It’s mentioned in Rick’s Belgium book, however, overall reviews at 3.4 stars suggest there may be some concerns. Would welcome comments about recent stays there. Thank you! Frank

We liked Hotel de Orangerie which is on a canal near where the canal boats depart. It is easy to walk throughout the Old Town area of Bruge from this hotel and the breakfast was outstanding.

Cannot say enough about Pat’s suggestion of Canals Deluxe B&B….just got home from there and it was certainly the highlight of our trip stays…..cozy, charming, a garden view, flower-filled courtyard……WOW….cake left out every day for an afternoon treat and an easy walk to the main square. I would suggest that of you have any staircase issues that you left the owners know so that they can make certain you get booked in a room with the least number of spiral staircases as possible…a fabulous warm breakfast served every morning overlooking their gardens……I want to go back!

Jane, so happy you were pleased with the property. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Another vote for Canal Deluxe. We booked after reading Pat’s trip report and enjoyed our stay very much.

I absolutely loved Hotel Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce. It was such a beautiful, charming hotel that was very comfortable. Getting a room with a canal view was well worth the little splurge. It was walking distance to everything I wanted to see. The staff was lovely, as was the morning breakfast. If I head to Bruges again, I would definitely book it again.
