If, like us, you’re a sucker for a city full of history and charm, Bruges is a great option for you.
Not only is it lovely — think picturesque canals, old brick buildings and historic museums and churches, to name a few — it’s also quite affordable!
Luckily for Cheapos, Bruges is filled with small, family-run hotels that do not fall short on character and service.

Our top budget hotels in Bruges
Here are five of our favorite budget hotels throughout the city with friendly owners, a unique atmosphere, and convenient locations.
Asiris
Neighborhood: St. Gilles
Doubles from $102
The Asiris is a no-frills spot focused on what’s important: clean, comfortable rooms and top-notch service. The hotel has 13 rooms and faces St. Gillis Church to the south, plus it includes a charming garden area guests can enjoy.
Rooms are simply designed, instead placing the focus all on the views surrounding the hotel. A few of the rooms face the church, while most face the garden. If you’re willing to climb some stairs, you can be rewarded with excellent views from the two rooms on the top floor.
We love the rooms with wood beams at Martin’s Brugge.
Martin’s Brugge
Neighborhood: Markt and Burg
Doubles from $130
The popular Martin’s Brugge sits behind the belfry tower at Markt Square and is a popular spot for convention attendees and tour groups. Booking ahead, and outside of any convention dates, is your best bet for scoring a great deal here.
The hotel offers accommodations akin to large boutique hotels: neutral, comfortable rooms, modern amenities and kind, professional service. Guests can also enjoy the hotel’s chic lobby, lovely outdoor terrace and excellent cocktail bar.
The entrance to Groeninghe Hotel.
Groeninghe
Neighborhood: Markt and Burg
Doubles from $113
The family-run Groeninghe is a stylish spot in a calm part of the city. Despite the quiet street its on, this hotel still boasts an excellent location near Markt Square. To get around the city, you can also rent bikes here, making it even more of a convenient place to stay.
The rooms — some adorned in earth-tones, others in deep reds and purples — offer lovely views through large windows. We loved the room tucked into the former attic, which offers cozy accommodation and skylight views.
The lobby at Fevery Hotel.
Fevery
Neighborhood: St. Gilles
Doubles from $118
If you’re looking for a home away from home, the Fevery is just that. The owner is kind and caring, and the hotel sits in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Rooms are simple and clean, and the hotel is labeled as European Eco for its efforts toward sustainability.
Rooms come complete with televisions, phones, safes and alarm clocks, plus free Wi-Fi. All 10 rooms include private bathrooms, most of which include bathtubs.
Enjoy the classic view from Botaniek Hotel.
Botaniek
Neighborhood: Minnewater & Astrid Park
Doubles from $151
Each spacious room at the Botaniek is charming with antique touches and plenty of natural light. An 18th-century mansion houses the hotel, and it sits just a stone’s throw from the city’s canals, which are lovely.
Charming furniture and decor outfit the rooms, and second-floor rooms feature high ceilings. Rooms on the top floor come highly recommended, as they offer the best views. No matter your room, you’ll find private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and kettles.
