Pet-friendly Hotels in Bruges

Spacious comfortable rooms in a beautiful building. Situated at the edge of a pretty, quiet residential area, the hotel overlooks a square, and is across from the Concertgebouw Brugge concert hall. The hotel also has outside seating in the back in a quiet garden. There are shops (food market, drugstore, bakery, cheese market, specialty food and more) and several cafes and tea shops just a few minutes away on Smedenstraat It is about a 5-10 minute walk to the center ”touristy” area around Grote Markt etc. We were very happy to be staying away from that busy area. Very helpful staff.

We stayed here for 3 nights and had room 32 which was upstairs, with one window overlooking the garden and another (the bathroom) overlooking the rear street of the hotel. The room was immediately accessed from the lift (literally one step away). First impressions of the hotel in general were great - Jan Brito, converted to a hotel from a grand house in the 1990s, certainly retains its C16th feel with high ceilings and original features. The owners have taken care to maintain its unique heritage. Pluses were the location, the quietness of the hotel, pleasant staff and the size of the bedroom (much bigger than normal) & the roomy, modernised bathroom which included a shower, a separate bath and a good magnifying mirror. Both rooms had plenty of storage space. The bed was spacious, firm and had clean linen. TV had BBC 1 & 2 - a bonus abroad! Breakfast was fine with good choices of cooked and cereals/continental breads etc in lovely dining area, though the self-service area was small so I can imagine it being difficult to negotiate during busy times. Minuses in Room 32 - the shower was lukewarm and had nowhere to put soaps/shampoo so you were bending all the time (I advise taking a shower gel with a hook). The bedroom was quite dark without lights on and needed refreshing. TV straddled 2 pieces of furniture, for example, and I was worried the bathroom handle would drop off, lovely as it was! On balance, I'd definitely recommend the hotel as a place to stay but would opt for a different room. PS: Our bathroom overlooked a small cafe/bagel bar which was popular/vegan friendly & looked enticing. Handy supermarket round the corner for water etc.

I’ve recently returned from a holiday in Belgium during which I spent three nights staying at the less than impressive Ibis Brugge Centrum. Due to travelling with a friend I didn’t stay at the hotel in Bruges where I stayed when visiting the city in November 2022 and unfortunately stayed here at the Ibis instead. We arrived and checked in just after 3pm. I hadn’t been in my room long, and was just sorting out my luggage before going out, when the bedroom door was opened and a man walked in, the hotel had given my room to a second person. The man went off to reception to get a different room and I followed shortly after to complain about the error. The staff on reception were casually apologetic but told me that these kinds of errors had been happening since a new computer booking system was installed and treated the who issue as though it wasn’t a big deal. I’m aware that implementing new computer systems are never without problems, but in a hotel I would have thought that trying to ensure that the room booking system doesn’t issue a room to multiple people is a pretty basic requirement. As a woman travelling alone it is not a pleasant experience to be in a hotel room and have a stranger walk into the room, it would have been terrifying if it had happened when I had been in the shower or bed, and for the remainder of my time in Bruges I never felt relaxed when in the hotel room. After making my complaint to reception I returned to the room to find that the key card no longer worked. This happened again on my second day at the hotel after a day of sight seeing, and after my previous experience left me wondering if the room had been allocated to someone else while I was out. Even without the experience of the room being allocated to someone else I wouldn’t be planning to return to this hotel; the shower ran cold more than hot, the bed was not comfortable with the mattress feeling like it needed to be replaced, there were only two sockets in the room, one of which was partially blocked by the curtain rail (due to the room being on the top floor the ceiling sloped near the window and the curtain was weirdly hung at an angle), there was mould on the wall beneath the hooks in the bathroom and just a general need for refurbishment. My friend spent the first night in the hotel unable to sleep due to deep vibrations which she assumes were from a nearby generator. The floor was literally shaking. She changed rooms for the remaining two nights of the stay and got the impression that she wasn’t the first person to have complained about the noise problem in room 211. Positives are that the hotel is easily walkable from the train station (although you will be dragging your suitcase over cobbles) and breakfast was a reasonable spread.

Hotel very well located for centre of Bruges, and a fantastic price as part of a deal. Room was a bit dated but functional, bathroom a very good size and excellent facilities. Staff very friendly and accommodating, room was very clean. Didn't spend a huge amount of time in the hotel as we were visiting attractions etc, but would happily stay here again.

Beautifully appointed historic hotel in a fabulous location, right on a canal. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We arrived a bit early but not to worry, they offered some refreshments out on their patio while we waited, which was a very nice touch. Hotel and room was very clean, very nice modern bath and luxury amenities. Breakfast was very good with lots of variety of wonderful meats, cheeses, fruits, yogurts and breads. We really enjoyed our stay and a bonus is it is next to a very nice brewery, in case you get thirsty!

The hotel is in the old city and about a 10 minute walk to the centre. Looked a bit dated from the outside. Inside, however, was spacious, modern and clean. The bedrooms were spotlessly clean and very large with guest safe and refrigerator. The rooms were very quiet. Breakfast was buffet style which was fine with a good selection. The bar area was very well laid out and not overly expensive for a hotel bar. All members of staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Special thanks to the young man on reception duty when we checked in , Saturday 3rd September, sorry didn’t catch your name, as our booking could’ve caused confusion . It was sorted out very professionally. I must also apologise to you as I think a member of our party took a shine to you and she made you blush. The biggest criticisms for the hotel was how hot it was. We were there with temperatures in the high 20s and humid. There didn’t appear to be any functioning air conditioning either in the hotel or the rooms. The other issue and this was more a staffing problem was that the hotel bar was closed 2 nights out of the 4 that wee were there. As whole though worth a stay. Will definitely be using again.

Great room with wonderful views. Great bed and bath, and lovely coffee set up. Staff was so helpful. Wonderful location. Excellent breakfast!! Best of the trip.

We regularly visit towns. In this case Brugge. This is a hotel found that is the value, appearance and authentic as no other. I will never even talk about the hospitality and the warmth that Hans and his wife have made us experience as guests. A room where nothing is missing. Extremely clean, air-conditioned, separate toilet and bathroom. The facility is realized with respect and sensitive love for the history of the building. I appoint the beautiful chairs, the bed with history to Italian Lucca. And with modern adjustments of this time. Regent shower, double glassing, LED TV and feature furniture. The extensive breakfast is served in the oldest part (14th century) of the hotel and not only by the countless breads, insecticides, fresh fruit but even without breakfast is an experience. In short, fantastic and we will certainly come here.. - Come back.

You get what you pay for. We have just got back after 5 nights here. They changed the sheets once and the towels every day. It was clean and we had BBC1, BBC2 and ITV1 on the telly. At €9 the breakfasts are okay- very basic. The rooms are small, and storage is inadequate. The slightest level of clutter will make your room look a mess. There aren't that many plug sockets and two of them are hard to access. The lavatory has a good flush and the shower is efficient. It cost €350 for 5 nights, and staying in Brugge for that is pretty cheap. Suss out the buses to and from the centre. Night buses run from Stadshouburg at 22:00 and 23:00, saving a bit of a yomp back when you will almost certainly have eaten, and may even have had a few drinks. You will want to do some culture. The museum pass bought while flashing your Brugge card which the hotel will give you will cost you €28 and it will pay for itself if you only go to see the Flemish Primitives at the Groeninge and have a look around the Gruuthuise museum.

We stayed here for my birthday and just had the best time! I got a special note on my bed when I arrived acknowledging my birthday and the whole weekend nothing was too much to ask, the staff were lovely! The hotel is perfectly located and beautiful inside. We loved our stay here, would highly recommend!
