A nice quiet hotel in a convenient location
We enjoyed our stay. Since we had a late arrival due to late train ride, they were very accommodating for our check-in despite front desk being closed.

Clean and simple hotel, we stayed one night, all staff were lovely, room was basic but with everything we needed. No noise from other rooms and on a quiet street with cheap parking just down the road by the library.

Great location so close to the Markt and nearby park house. Yet away from the main road that it is quiet. A little gem off the beaten track.

The property is in a perfect location for our chosen activities and for access to all the wonderful dining options Bruges has to offer. The hotel staff was helpful and accommodating.
Our room was simple and efficient with everything we needed for our few days in the city.

Comfortable, well-located small hotel
Hotel Marcel was exactly what we were looking for after 10 days of biking through the Netherlands and Belgium. We called to see if we could drop off our luggage early and they told us we could actually check in at that time, which was a huge bonus. Everyone was friendly and helpful, the location near the main square was perfect and the room not huge but very well laid out so we were very comfortable. A very good value; would stay there again.

The room was tiny and the bathroom that had been added came out into the room with a single pane of glass separating the toilet from the bed. The bed was very uncomfortable. The location was great.

Brugge Hotel
Hotel is in an amazing area! So close to everything.Safe and beautiful block.
Beds are comfy
No persons at front desk after 6:00 pm
Rooms are small, but we never care because we are never in our room except to sleep.
Cleaning lady knocked on our door at 9:30 am to clean room which is fine but there was so much dust balls under our bed that it came out from under our bed.
Maybe they should try dusting the rooms better especially under the bed.
Hotel is a no frills hotel.Area of hotel perfection.
