Artist's house/Hotel Jacobs, Bruges?
 
Hey folks...We'll be in Bruges in July and need help choosing a hotel.
I've tried doing a search on here for hotels in Bruges but just can't seem to come up with much. I did see that the Artist's house (Number 11) was recommended on some other travel sites. The Hotel Jacobs is quoting us a rate of 82Euro per night- which sounds pretty good to me for a double room but I'm not so sure about the location. Of these two hotels, which is in the better location in terms of metro stops and things to see and do?

Any other hotel recommendations?
Thanks a bunch!

First of all, you won't find any metro stops in Brugge. Brugge is a very small city, easily walkable.
Hotel Jacobs is at max. 10 min. walk from the Market Square.
Number 11 is a bit closer.

This is weird! I just searched for this post which I did last night...couldn't find it...
Now I've posted pretty much a similar post two minutes ago and suddenly this one pops back up...what the ((6)) is going on :-\

Thanks Myriam and Curious.
No metro stops...o.k. I think I made a boo boo. I meant train station.:">

Brugge train station to the city centre is about 15/20 min. walk. There's a busstop in front of the station where there are a number of buses that will take you to the Market Square (Belfry). Don't know which numbers though.

Any other comments on these hotels?
What about Hotel Egmond ?
Of these three which is best for location and which has the best rooms etc. ?

Location of the Egmond is the most romantic, right at the Minnewater (lake) and around the corner from the beguinage. Walk to the Market Square is abt. 20 min. It's only a few min. walk to the train station.

Thanks a lot Myriam.
I've seen some good reviews for Egmond's location, but can't seem to find much on room size etc.
Do you know anything about the other two? Location? Would appreciate it.
