Best place to stay in Bruges
 

Hi I will be visiting Bruge soon and was looking for recommendations for decent quality, not too pricey accomodation close to Bruge, upto a 10 minute walk to the centre would be okay, ideally with car parking near by. I dont mind hotels, b & b or other. Any recommendations please?
Also anyone have recommendations for very good restaurants in or close to Bruge to please.

Following, we’re likely to be in Bruges for two nights in August.

Several years ago, we stayed at the Hotel de Barge (https://www.hoteldebarge.be/en/) which was great. It's a hotel on a boat in the canal. It's just outside of the old town center - about a 10-15 minute walk to the center - nice walk over a pedestrian bridge and through a park. The only real downside to the location is that there is a lot across the street where tour buses park during the day, but when we were there, they were mostly gone by late afternoon, so it wasn't a big deal. Looks like they have limited parking by the hotel, but there is more parking in the parking garage at the train station, which isn't far - maybe 5 minute walk.

In 2015 we stayed at the NH Hotel Brugge. Lovely old building that was once a convent. We arrived by car and there was parking nearby. Only minutes to the center on foot and surrounded by a market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Loved the hotel and location. https://tinyurl.com/sny9zyww

We had a very comfortable room at the Novotel. Easy walking distance to the centre of town. Ibis have a hotel on the same street if you are looking for a cheaper hotel.
