NH Brugge is a dependable four-star base on Boeveriestraat, right beside ’t Zand, the large modern square on the western edge of the old town where the Concertgebouw concert hall and the convention centre stand. With 149 rooms it is bigger than the boutique houses around the Markt, and that scale brings practical benefits: lifts, a 24-hour front desk, a garden terrace, a bar and a gym, and a choice of room types that includes quadruple family rooms sleeping four. The Markt and the Christmas market are about eleven minutes on foot, the Belfry thirteen and the Minnewater park thirteen, and the station is around twelve, so you can walk to everything and reach the heart of the old town without a taxi. Rooms have air conditioning, sound-insulated walls, a safe, a kettle and a rainfall shower or soaking tub. The hotel holds the Bioscore and Green Key sustainability certifications, which matters if you prefer to stay somewhere that takes its environmental impact seriously. Cats and dogs are welcome for a nightly fee, and the multilingual front desk can advise on tickets, boat trips and restaurants.
Location and getting around
’t Zand is a bus hub and a pleasant open space, with cafes, restaurants and the large Saturday market on its edges. From the hotel door you can walk east along Zuidzandstraat, the main shopping street, straight to the Markt. The Concertgebouw is about ten minutes away, and the station is roughly twelve.
The rooms
The standard room is a comfortable double or twin, while Superior rooms are larger and have a king bed and sometimes a view. The Family Quadruple room has two queen beds and is a smart answer for families who would otherwise need two rooms. Light sleepers should ask for a room away from the square, and it is worth asking for a higher floor for the best outlook over the rooftops.
Who it suits
First-time visitors, families, groups and travellers on mid-range budgets who want a modern room, a reliable breakfast and a short walk to the sights. It also suits visitors who like to bring a bicycle, because bicycle parking is available, and anyone who values a hotel with recognised environmental credentials.
Good to know
The hotel does not offer parking, so drivers should plan to use a public car park nearby and check rates in advance. Breakfast is an extra on many rates, and WiFi is free in the public areas, so check what your rate includes. Check-in runs from the afternoon until midnight, and check-out is at noon. Check when you book for current rates and for Christmas market weekends.
