Brugges/Belgium hotel finding tips? Local website?

[Hugo Stiglitz]

I'd like to avoid the likes of booking.com etc if it helps me get a better deal etc.

Any tips?

Google "Best hotels in Brugges" and then scroll down until you come to the Telegraph. It might be a single page, or it might be 5 or 6 pages.

Take a look through and see which hotel(s) you like the look of, but ignore the prices on the Telegraph site, they're always way off. Then go direct to the hotels you like the look of and see how much they really cost for the dates you're interested in and the room type you want. Then book direct with the hotel.

Or, use booking.com to find hotels you like the look of, or their map view to find hotels in roughly the right area, then go direct to the hotel website and book from there.

I know some people swear by using a middleman / consolidator, but I always book direct with the place I'm staying.

I haven’t been there for years, but I used to frequent the Hotel Lucca. Central location, on a quiet side street, and a beautiful mediaeval building. Three stars; wasn’t pricey.

I always stay at Motel One in Brussels, well located, reasonably priced (and not a motel)

We stayed here a year or two ago, was very nice and you couldn’t get more central.

We stayed at the same place, really good location, underground parking and the staff seemed ok. Room was basic but nice enough for a few nights.

I almost never find a better deal direct with the hotel. When you add in the cashback (TCB, quidco etc) and the rewards schemes on the hotel websites, they can work out significantly cheaper.

Anyway we stayed at the Novotel last year, the lobby area looked like it was newly refurbed and was a nice hotel. No issues with the underground car park with a large car either.

Used to stay at the dukes palace when in Brugge. Recommend it

I'm here! There falls another old hostel bar but this one has been completely demolished. To be another hotel chain?

I went in 2018, and stayed at Hotel Jan Brito, which was really nice:

Booked directly through their website

We stayed here - it was a fantastic B&B just away from the touristy bits but well within walking distance of everything you need.
