Flanders Hotel, Bruges
Not bad for a one night stay, but not a very good option if you plan on spending more then a few days in Bruges. The staff is very efficient and welcoming, the rooms are ok, but something is missing. Not hing exactl I could complain about my room for 2 days. Everything was clean and working, bathroom was outfitted ok. But something is missing to make it a hotel worth booking in advance at. A little renovating would not be unwelcome in that “something”. The breakfast was not something to fill you up either. But the placement of the hotel within the city and the price are unbeatable.
St. Rumbold’s Cathedral
The Cathedral of Mechelen or Sint-Romboutskathedraal as it is calle in Belgium, has impressed many through its sheer stature and magnificent architecture. The beautiful gothic white interior, adorned with angelic sculptures and iconic biblical figures, with just a hint of grey made some such as famous French architect Vauban called it the eight wonder of the world.

De Karmeliet
The simple black and white décor doesn’t give away its 3* award from Michelin, but the wall paintings and decorations present fine taste and a glamorous setup for all those who decide to have dinner here.
Oud Huis de Peellaert
A good location and a very well prepared staff with a very warm attitude to clients is what makes this hotel stand out among others.
