Martin's Brugge
Location and rooms were very, very good - highly recommend this hotel. We needed two rooms but only one was ready on arrival at 3.00 and my room wasn’t ready until 5. A bit annoying. Only real negative though was the two young girls on reception who just chatted to one another and made no effort ...

The hoteil is just a Christmas dream! The bar and the christmas decoration are just perfect! The room are comfortable , but I would apprecciate a complimentary water during the stay and maybe a few tea options in the room.
