Top hotels in Bruges Center
Martin's Brugge
If location is your thing this is the hotel for you, best location in Bruge for shopping and sightseeing, friendly staff, clean rooms and a good continental breakfast the only downside is that most of the rooms don’t have tea and coffee making facilities. Otherwise would definitely recommend this ...

Martin's Relais
No issues really. We chose a canal view room, which was lovely, but we could hear cars driving past beneath our window. Worth bearing in mind.
