Bruges' medieval streets and canals don't have to break the bank. Budget hotels in the city center-like Martin's Brugge (3-star superior, terrace, cocktail bar) and Ibis Styles Brugge Centrum (modern design with free Welcome@Bruges discount card)-keep you steps from the Belfry and Market Square. Most cheap hotels here cost between €60 and €120 per night and include free WiFi, continental breakfast, and private bathrooms. For even lower rates, Ibis Budget Brugge Centrum Station sits right next to the train station, a 20-minute walk from the historic core.
Top-rated options like Hotel Boterhuis (87 guest score) and Hotel Patritius (89) add air-conditioning, garden terraces, and private parking (for a fee). Want something unique? Boat Hotel De Barge floats on the Bruges-Ghent canal and serves breakfast with canal views. Many budget hotels offer bike rentals to explore the Beguinage and Minnewater Lake. Stay in the Historic Centre district for walkable access to all sights, and note that public parking is limited-reserve a spot at your hotel in advance.
