Hotel Karel de Stoute — Boutique Hotel in Bruges Centre
WHERE HISTORY MEETS COMFORT
A nine-room historic hotel in the centre of Bruges, named after the last Valois Duke of Burgundy.
Hotel Karel de Stoute is at Moerstraat 23, on a quiet street that starts at St James's Church. The Markt and the Belfry are five minutes away on foot. Guests put it the same way in many languages: close enough to walk everywhere, far enough not to hear it. Couples and solo travellers come here for good-value city breaks, usually for one or two nights.
You get a door code before you arrive and let yourself in from 15:00, whatever time your train gets in.
