Top Ghent University Hotel Reviews

Martin's Brugge

8/10 Good

"excellent location, clean but the rooms are small with almost no storage space"

ibis budget Brugge Centrum Station

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente lugar, económico, comodo y muy céntrico"

Canal View Hotel Ter Brughe by CW Hotel Collection

8/10 Good

"Charming hotel and a wonderful staff. Room was very small - cramped!"

Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed in dozens of hotels over the years and this was among my favourites. It's a great location close to the center of historic Brugges, beautifully decorated, and our room was quite lovely and a decent size. The breakfast buffet, in a renovated room with lots of seating, was included and had a variety of delicious, high quality options (salmon, cheeses, meats, as well as traditionalenglish and american style options). We also enjoyed tea one evening in their beautifully appointed lounge area and had great service. I found the decor in this hotel to be charming, a modern take on classic design. Every room, hallway, etc, was thoughtfully put together. Usually a hotel is a place to sleep but I enjoyed spending time in the hotel common areas. Most importantly, my husband became unexpectedly ill and staff quickly helped me find an online doctor for a same day appointment for him, and then showed me where to find the closest pharmacy. They helped make an overwhelming situation very easy to manage. Staff were warm, welcoming and helpful from check in to check out. I 110% would recommend this hotel and stay here again."
