Not impressed

Apart from the location the hotel doesnt have a great deal going for it. At check-in I was advised that as it was late, there was only a small room left with a broken window and damaged furniture! A free breakfast was provided as compensation but frankly its not good enough.

Awesome place to stay in middle of Markt. Please note it is above a restaurant so found a little hard to find initially. Staff great. Breakfast was lovely and good choice. Restaurant downstairs very nice for drink and we had a pizza. Highly recommend.

As the name suggests, you can not be more central, it is right on the main square. A bonus being in room 11 as it looked out onto the square and opposite Belfry tower. I was worried about noise but Bruges quietens down in late evening, may be I was lucky but it was an August Friday and Saturday. Breakfast included and was good, I also ate at the restaurant. Great food but remember you are paying for prime location. 65 euros including tip for a pizza, water and carafe of red wine. The staff were happy for me to take a drinks to my room with a couple of non guest friends to soak up the square view. 50 Euros for 3 spirit/mixers, so you may want to visit supermarket round the corner. I was solo and thought £150 a night was about right for the view but with two single beds, two guests at £75 each including breakfast would have been a bargain! I had to pay 8 Euros city tax fee on check out, assume a standard thing. Only negatives are it is a fairly basic room but it is practical. It is hot but they do provide a fan and it had a smelly toilet but that sums up Bruges sewage system! I would stay again and give it 10/10 for location and 7/10 as a hotel.

Pros: - Excellent location, right by the square - very clean - Hot, powerful shower - Welcoming & friendly staff Cons: - Very small room - just enough space to walk around the bed, especially with luggage (we just had 2 large backpacks). - The room was very hot - there’s no air con and no fan. On the day when the weather was warmer, I really struggled to sleep at night. I’m sure it’s fine during cooler months - There were a few mosquitos in the room when we arrived - I killed what I could see, but we got really bitten. There’s also a sign saying not to open the window. I ignored this for 30 minutes as I was too hot, but this could have also contributed to some more mosquitos coming in. - The walls are insanely thin - we could hear every single word said by the people next door… I even had the pleasure of hearing the hungover man next door violently vomitting early hours of the morning (not the hotels fault obviously, just an example of how thin the walls are). We had an overall good stay, and we wanted somewhere convenient & clean purely to sleep as we were out all day anyway. It is a small, basic room, but happy with our stay.

Great hotel for location and food

Perfectly placed on the Market Square. Room was probably the best in the hotel with views of the square below. Food was outstanding, both our evening meal and breakfast. All the staff spoke good English (one spoke 6 languages) and were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

I didn’t get his name, but I can describe him,He was tall blue eyes and Bald head. I had a request . I wanted an iron, and it was sent up in my room in one minute very impressed and everything was just excellent. If i can rate 10 stars I would !!!!

Right in the middle of things..

Lovely, clean, spacious, top floor room overlooking the square. Fab views. Lovely staff who were very welcoming. Right in the centre of things, so very easy to get around. (Light sleepers beware- noisy at night until early hours, presumable rooms at back of hotel didn't have this problem). Unable to open window and no fan in bathroom, so could possibly be stifling after a week and awful in summer- unless we just couldn't open window ourselves. Definitely recommend Hotel Central.

We spent two nights at the hotel and really enjoyed our stay. Brugge is such a beautiful city! The hotel is in the middle of Grote Markt but the room we got was facing the back so it was nice and quiet, even with the windows open all the time. They didn’t have AC so I can imagine it can get pretty warm in the summer but because it was raining/cloudy when we were there, leaving the windows worked. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was nice and big. There are no elevators so you have to carry your luggage up the stairs, but if you’re fine with that, I would highly recommend this place for basic, shorter stays. Apparently, breakfast was included in the price we paid and I wish Expedia told us that. We thought we had to pay extra so we didn’t avail of it. The breakfast spread looked really yummy and smelled really good.
