Advantages: Very central, great location Disadvantages: Service occasionally a bit iffy
I returned a few days ago from a conference in Bruges, Belgium ? a city known far more as a cheap weekend break destination with it?s twee lace making, pretty canals and positioning as the ?Venice of the North? (though admittedly without the smelly water and the £10-a-go espressos). I had no say in where I stayed as the conference organisers had block booked the Crowne Plaza and my room was charged at a rate of ?155 per night which I suspect was probably a discount on the normal rate.
Where is it?
The Crown Plaza is one of the best situated hotels in the city and sits on the square known as Burg within spitting distance of the gothic Town Hall and the Basilica of the Holy Blood. Bruges is a bit of a rabbit warren so getting lost is always a risk. However as Burg is just next door to Markt (the big market square) it?s easy to find ...
Advantages: Central location, clean and friendly staff Disadvantages: No tea/coffe making facilities in rooms
We stayed in the Novotel on a recent short break to Brugge. It is easy to find and ideally situated for exploring the city.
The hotel is in a square near to the Ibis Hotel on one of the main roads into the city. It is hidden from view to preserve the character of the area. There is a nearby underground car park with easy access to the hotel.
The hotel itself is fairly new. It is clean and well equipped. There are approximately 200 rooms on 4 floors. Rooms are cleaned daily and there is an ample supply of toiletries provided. There is a mini bar, but unfortunately, no tea or coffe making facilities.
Facilities at the hotel include a Restaurant, Bar and outdoor heated Swimming pool. The only drawback is that the pool is closed between October and May.
Service at the hotel is friendly and all staff speak English. Thay ...
Advantages: wonderful acting, good story and great scene variation, nice town also Disadvantages: the ending was predictable based on characterisation

this film was martin mcdonagh's first film, though he had previously made a short film called ?six shooter's? a few years earlier. i remember seeing six shooters on film four, and it would not surprise me to see this film one day on the same channel.
the structures of these two films are similar, the plots are known fairly quickly and the acting is really good. using trains and train platform scenes also took place in both films. the one thing i question is the originality of in bruges as crime and shooting films are nothing new.
set in bruges, a picturesque medieval town in Belgium. during the film we get to see the canals, the views ...
