Offering baggage storage, the 3-star Hotel Boterhuis Bruges is a mere 5 minutes' stroll from the Bruges Beer Museum. This Bruges hotel lies in the Historic Centre of Brugge district, in the vicinity of such cultural sights as the Folklore Museum.

Location

The hotel is situated within a 1-km distance of the Saint Anne's Church and only 450 metres from the Burghers' Lodge. Only a few steps from the Boterhuis Bruges, business travellers will find the medieval bell tower "Belfort".

Guests might as well enjoy proximity to Begijnhof, situated nearly a 5-minute ride away. The 't Zand, a well-known local spot, is also just 0.7 km from the accommodation.

This hotel is within a few blocks of Bruges train station, and the Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde is about a 10-minute drive away.

Rooms

The rooms overlook the garden and feature cable channels and a radio along with tea/coffee making equipment. An ironing set and air conditioning are featured for guests' comfort.

Eat & Drink

The neighbourhood features restaurants, including Osteria 45, which is a stone's throw from the Boterhuis.

“In my opinion, this hotel captures Bruges' spirit with its charming, old-world feel and incredibly welcoming staff. I was particularly struck by the location, a short walk from the main square, and the thoughtful touches, like eggs cooked to order at breakfast. For those seeking a personal and authentic Bruges experience, this hotel seems an excellent choice.”

the location was perfect, steps away from everything (i really mean it). the staff was friendly and ready to help with questions about the area. breakfast had a good selection, the eggs were cooked perfectly.
The dark corridors were a bit off-putting. More lighting would greatly improve this.

Charming Stay with Excellent Breakfast

I appreciated that the hotel allowed bikes to be stored inside. The breakfast was wonderful. It included a large selection and tasted fresh. I liked the location, next to many attractions. It made sightseeing simple. I was permitted to check in early, which helped a great deal with my travel plans. It was useful.
The triple room did not look like the photos. It needed a fresh start.
