What's nearby

  • The Basilica of the Holy Blood is a Roman Catholic minor basilica in Bruges, Belgium. Originally built in the 12th century as the chapel of the residence of the Count of Flanders, the church houses a venerated relic of the Holy Blood allegedly collected by Joseph of Arimathea and brought from the Holy Land by Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders. Built between 1134 and 1157, it was promoted to minor basilica in 1923. The 12th-century basilica is located in the Burg square and consists of a lower and upper chapel. The lower chapel dedicated to St. Basil the Great is a dark Romanesque structure that remains virtually unchanged. The venerated relic is in the upper chapel, which was rebuilt in the Gothic style during the 16th century and renovated multiple times during the 19th century in Gothic Revival style. Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium, in the northwest of the country. The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as The Venice of the North. Bruges has a significant economic importance thanks to its port and was once one of the world's chief commercial cities. Bruges is well known as the seat of the College of Europe, a university institute for European studies. #LIFEATEXPEDIA #TRAVEL #HILLBILLYINPARIS #BRUGES

What a gem! It is amazing what they did with the small under the roof room we stayed in, they made it feel more comfortable than the big room we stayed in the night before. Parking about 5 blocks away, 18 Euro for 24 hrs. Super friendly people, nice continental breakfast. Yes we would definitely stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Botaniek. The owner was extremely accomodating and even took us, in his own car, to the train station when our taxi failed to turn up very early one morning. Brilliant! It is an old property, like most others, but spotlessly clean. Negatives? The carpet in the bedroom was really showing signs of wear and the bath towels really needed replacing as they were extremely thin in places and one even had a large hole in it. However, neither of these issues spoiled our enjoyment of Botaniek.

A quirky gem

If sterile, bland chain hotels aren’t your thing you couldn’t do better than this gem. Situated in the heart of things just near the fish market this is an ideal base for your stay. A warm, friendly welcome every day, superb, plentiful breakfast sets you up for a wonderful day of sightseeing and by the time you finish and head back a comfortable bed and great nights sleep awaits you.

The stay was pleasant. Room and the breakfast area were very pretty. Hosts were very friendly. Only thing that was a bit disappoited was that before going I tried to ask 3 times by chat, email and phone to see if it was possible to check in after 10pm in case we are caught in delay during the travel. There was no response. Eventually we made it before 10pm, but I was travelling with the worry in mind that we might be met with a closed front door and had to find accommodation elsewhere.

Piccolo hotel a conduzione familiare. Camera pulita e piacevole con vista sui tetti e le torri della città. Peccato per il bagno: molto piccolo e necessita di ammodernamento ! Altro limite: se fa caldo, non c'è aria condizionata, ma solo un ventilatore. Colazione limitata ma buona.

Hotel centralissimo e tranquillo.

Posizione centralissima, a due passi dalle piazze principali e dai canali più suggestivi. Dimensioni camera sufficienti, ma bagno molto piccolo. Buona la colazione. Possibilità di parcheggio a pagamento nelle vicinanze e gratuito subito fuori dal centro, a 1 km di distanza. Abbastanza caro il mangiare. Troppi turisti nelle zone centrali, ma bastava allontanarsi di poche centinaia di metri per godersi il fascino di Bruges

Прекрасный отель и прекрасный персонал в самом центре города. Вид на исторический центр. Завтрак на троечку, НО он так красиво и мило подаётся, что обо всём сразу забываешь. А ещё туда входит маленькие пачки нутеллы, что по по традиции всегда очень высоко ценится. Советую

Hotel très bien situé et personnel aux petits soin

Nous avons adoré séjourner à l'hotel Botaniek de Bruges. L'hôtel est extrêmement bien situé dans la ville (proche de tous les points touristiques). Le personnel, qui est un couple marié est adorable et aux petits soins pour ses clients. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux et varié. Nous avions une chambre au 3ème et dernier étage et nous avons beaucoup apprécié la vue depuis les toits!

Très bon hôtel avec excellent emplacement

Petit hôtel familial dans un immeuble typique de Bruges. L'emplacement est excellent car tout est atteignable à pied. Place centrale à 5 min à pied. Le parking sous-terrain est publique et à 100m à pied pour environ 14 euros les 24h. Le stationnement est problématique à Bruges donc je conseille fortement de laisser sa voiture dans le parking et de faire tout à pied. Personnel très aimable. Petit déjeuner copieux mais en chambre car contrainte Covid. Enfin nous avons réservé la meilleure chambre. La literie est excellente. Seul bémol la salle d'eau n'est pas assez ventilé et la douche était à moitié cassé mais c'est un petit détail à améliorer.
