Advantages: Scenery, Great hotels, food and shopping Disadvantages: Can be crowded in Summer
...to be picked up from your hotel.
Shopping is fantastic, and not as expensive as suggested, you can choose from Belgian chocolates to Belgian lace with a huge variety in fashion, jewellery and antiques in between.
Brugge is easy to negotiate, and easy to get to, being only a short train journey from either Ostend or Brussels, and has an excellent selection of hotel accomodation. English is widely and well spoken, although a few words of Flemish not French! will endear you to the locals!
It is no London or Amsterdam so if you are looking for 'action' it's not for you. If you want a peaceful time in quality and scenic surroundings Brugge could be....

Advantages: Luxury Location Comfort Service Disadvantages: Cost
...A Beautiful hotel in a perfect location; central and just minutes away from the main sqaure. The hotel overlooks a very pretty canal and we had de-luxe rooms with canal views. Sumptuous rooms, plenty of space and every possible extra. Delicious breakfasts. Very warm, friendly and informal service which you would not expect in a hotel of this calibre; we were made to feel very welcome and special. Expensive but very well worth it; if you are going to spend two or three days walking round one of the loveliest cities in northern Europe, why not have a gorgeous room to retire to. No restaurant, but several first class dineries within five minutes walk, and a very late bar at the hotel on a cosy room with fireplace. Faultless....

Advantages: Very charming location. Fronts on a tiny plaza,backs on the canal Disadvantages: It operated more like a hostel in that the entry hours were limited.
...If you like to stay in unusual hotels this is the place for you. It is an old converted home like so many others in Bruges but it is filled with church related art and furniture. The narrow hallways creaked and groaned but it was quiet for sleeping. The morning breakfast was adequate. The breakfast room faced the canal and a lovely garden. Drawbacks, the owners would not allow the guests to use the garden and did not allow guests to take photos within the home. We personally stayed in a room that had lovely casement windows that overlooked the plaza. We had a lovely meal of mussels and beer in that very court. Unfortunately it was 10 years ago. Or maybe not. Maybe the owners have modernized and they now treat guests as guests instead of intruders....

If you're the same age as me then when someone says the words "De Barge" to you, you can't help but be thrown back to the mid-80s and that awful cheesy pop song "Rhythm Of The Night". Fortunately the De Barge I'm reviewing here is far from cheesy and... more
My impressions of this game when I saw it advertised on the internet was that it looked like a completely different type of game that I'm used to seeing for the DS.

I lived in New York City for a few years, but had little experience of its hotels until after I'd moved away. My husband and I stayed in the Library Hotel in late August of 2004 for two nights. After spending a few nights in one of its sister hotels the... more
