Where to stay in Bruges

Advice on budget, affordable and luxury accommodation in Bruges.

Budget accommodation in Bruges

Charlie Rockets is a good-value hostel based in what used to be a cinema, giving it that all-important quirk factor for travellers. Located near the canals, main square and bars, it also has an American diner feel.

Lybeer is snug, cosy and cheap, and based in the intoxicating medieval centre of Bruges. Facilities include a bar, library, inclusive breakfast buffet and private and dorm rooms.

Affordable accommodation in Bruges

The Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce may not be bargain-basement, let alone easy to pronounce, but it is an exquisite building that offers an exquisite experience. Based right on the canals giving an ideal view of Bruges' waterways, it is plushly furnished but retains a homely feel.

Quiet, reserved, homely luxury is again the order of the day at Hotel Egmond. Located a little further out of the centre, it is an oasis of calm with rich gardens and friendly staff.

Luxury accommodation in Bruges

You can spend your stay in Bruges at a finely-restored 15th century Flemish mansion, the Hotel De Tuilerieen, which seems like it has been untouched by time. Clad in aged fabrics, antiques and looked over by friendly staff, romantics can feel like they are stepping back in time.

Another hotel for the romantics after some luxury is Die Swaene, which sits on the picturesque canal. Ornate rooms and a fantastic restaurant mean that romantics need not leave the hotel, should they wish.
