Belgium
Last month I visited Bruges. A rather small yet romantic city in the Flemish region of Belgium. While the restaurant we visited turned out to be a disappointment (microwaved food, rude people, unreasonable prices) I really enjoyed the place where we stayed.
In Bruges we stayed in a small cosy hotel called Prinsenhof, it’s actually an example of old 13th century Flemish housing. It had a clean, comfy luxurious room, a welcoming atmosphere, and the breakfast (while not really cheap) proved to be unforgettable!
Make sure you park your car in the city as the hotel charges for parking.

This little Bruges hostel was a real bargain – friendly, clean and better decorated than many more expensive places I’ve stayed in around the world.
The included breakfast is pretty extensive – more than the usual cornflakes – but most importantly I think it is has the best location in Bruges. Just off T’Zand (one of the main squares), it’s a short distance from everything you could want to see or do in the city.

Hoogste van Brugge 2, Bruges
Hotel Karos (very close to centre) has a quiet environment, friendly staff, and is clean and spacious. It is equipped with a sauna, a bar, a leisure area and so much more.
Lovely hotel overlooking the canals in the quieter part of Bruges. The inclusive breakfast is a huge and varied spread served in front of an open fire in the dining room. Rooms have modern and comfortable furnishings, yet it retains a historic feel and individual personality. There are free bikes to borrow and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. It's a 5-10 minute stroll into the main square.
