The ibis Styles Brugge Centrum is the smart budget choice in the old town. It sits on Katelijnestraat in the southern part of the centre, about five minutes on foot from the Beguinage and the Minnewater, around 500 metres from the Belfry and a walk of roughly a kilometre from the station, so you can arrive by train without a taxi. The hotel has 140 rooms with the cheerful, characterful design of the ibis Styles brand, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and wheelchair-accessible options, and it is entirely non-smoking. It shares a courtyard with the Novotel next door, which supplies the restaurant and breakfast, and there is a bar on site. A public car park underneath the hotel, reached from Katelijnestraat, makes it one of the easiest central hotels for drivers. Self-service check-in kiosks speed up arrival, and a grab-and-go corner sells drinks and snacks.
Location and getting around: Katelijnestraat is a good walking base. De Halve Maan brewery and the Beguinage are a few minutes away, the Church of Our Lady and the Groeningemuseum around ten, and the Markt about fifteen. One of the canal-boat landing stages is on Katelijnestraat itself. The station is about a kilometre away, an easy walk with light luggage.
The rooms: rooms are compact but practical, with modern bathrooms, air conditioning and a bright design. Ask for a room facing the inner courtyard for the quietest nights, because the street is busy by day.
Who it suits: budget travellers, families and friends sharing on a short break, drivers who want parking under the hotel, and anyone who wants a reliable international brand in the centre.
Good to know: breakfast is a full buffet served at the adjoining Novotel and is usually cheaper when booked in advance. The car park is public and charged separately. Check-in is from mid-afternoon and check-out by noon, and pets are not allowed.
