Velotel Brugge

Really enjoyed our stay in this bike themed hotel. In addition to the facilities I knew about, it was also lovely to find a room with games, such as chess and fuzball. There was also a vending machine in reception and complementary iced tea at the end of the afternoons, which was a nice touch. Great breakfast with good choices (and at €17 when paying directly at the hotel - though going up to €18 in the new year). Found this to be good value for Bruges. Bus was very easy to use and was actually free for 2 of the days we were there (for Bruges shopping days - 22 days during Nov / Dec). Otherwise it was €2.50 per person. (Reception can also give you a voucher for a taxi into the centre for €12). Bus goes every 20 mins. (Sometimes comes 2 mins early). Hired city bikes at €8 each for a half day (9 a.m. - 3 p.m) and cycled out to Blankenberge. Was also pleased to find it was very easy to go for a jog / run from the hotel, with a park and green areas right outside. Although you need a reservation for lunch or dinner at the hotel, you can have tapas in the bar without reservations, which is a good alternative. Parked on the street for duration of stay without any issues, though there is a free outdoor car park (with several EV chargers) as well as the covered indoor parking. Would definitely stay again if I come back to Bruges. (Just wouldn't go for the superior room next time, as although the glass walled bathrooms look nice, once the curtain is pulled, your roommate is effectively stuck in the main room area, unless you don't mind the lack of privacy! Not everyone's cup of tea!) Staff also very friendly and helpful and rooms were very clean. Would recommend!

The pricing was quite sensible. Premises were modern albeit functional. While I might find quite a few things to complain about (in terms of volumes) but in terms of them detracting from the pleasant experience - there were hardly any. Would strongly recommend folks to try the hotel.

We traveled with our two year old and had just been in the car for hours. So it was a very welcome surprise to see the lovely garden area with playground, trampoline and bouncy castle as we arrived!!! The staff were so friendly, welcoming, accommodating and helpful. We also found that a cot had been setup with extra mattress and bedding - we didn’t request it, but it was so helpful, saving us a lot of hassle! Just what tired travellers needed! We will be coming back here for sure!

Perfect hotel as first time visitors to Brugge. Lovely room, incredibly clean and very spacious. Staff were so lovely and very helpful. I contacted in advance about a request which was actioned very quickly and I found the portal you can log into prior to your stay really useful. A lot of information was provided at check-in about the hotel, local area and transport advice. As we have never stayed in Belgium before we especially appreciated the bus advice and the taxi voucher made it really easy for us to get back as I was worried about trying to get a taxi (we are from the UK). Will definitely be staying again. Had there have been room at the same hotel we would have extended our stay no question!

Extremely comfortable bed and large rooms. Had the option to pick up a taxi token which you can use to get you to and from the centre for a very good price. Staff were so helpful and gave us loads of information when we arrived. We had breakfast on our last last and it was one of the best buffet breakfasts I've eaten. It was about 25 minute (nice) walk into town which did bother us but after a long day out a taxi is a good idea.
