ibis Budget Brugge worked out really well. It’s literally next door to Brugge Centraal, which makes arriving with luggage effortless. They let me check in about four hours early, which was a huge plus. For Bruges, the price for a private room is hard to beat. The breakfast buffet was great value too. Plenty of variety, not just the usual croissant‑and‑juice setup some places try to pass off as a breakfast buffet.
