Delightfully situated and reasonably priced. The hotel is OK if you like IKEA furniture, mosquitoes and rules ("..sorry you can only pay your bill up to 7pm the night before - or between 10:30am and 11:30am on the day of departure, or...no you cannot sit there...). We had an average stay but would not return. more

My partner and I recently spent a lovely three days in Brugge and our stay at the Karel de Stoute was a definite factor in our enjoyment. On a very quiet and pretty cobbled street, the hotel is close to many good restaurants, cafes and bars, and about 5 minutes walk from the main square in the centre of Brugge.... more

This was our second visit to Karel de Stoute and we were not disappointed. This is a friendly, comfortable and welcoming base for a short break in Bruges. Winke was the perfect host, especially when one of our party was taken ill. He turned a bad experience into a bearable one. I would always use this hotel if I were... more

The hotel's location was perfect for us - on a quiet street, but only a few minutes on foot from the central square in Bruges. We stayed here for four nights in August 2007 in a "superior" double room, which was comfortable and spacious with a fantastic wooden beamed ceiling. The bathroom was very clean and had a proper bath... more

We discovered the Hotel Karel de Stoute at the information center in Brugge. They booked our reservation and gave us directions to the Hotel. We (I was traveling with my wife and 17yr. daughter) arrived late afternoon and greeted so warmly by Winke, the owner. Winke speaks 4 languages so our lack of Flemish speech was no problem. He is... more

We enjoyed this hotel, if you are looking for simple and clean.. the place was a bit outdated, and could use an upgrade of bathrooms etc.. the owners were extremely helpful and the location was excellent.. we spent 25 days in europe and used trip advisor to book all of our hotels.. this was our least favorite. they have many... more

We stayed two night to start our Europe holiday and it was a wonderful way to begin. Winke is a delightful host and took great pains to spend whatever time necessary to help you get oriented. Our room was comfortable with nice beamed ceiling and view of the quaint street. It is a very quiet street and sleeping was very... more

We stayed at the Karel de Stoute last week & found it delightful.Only 3 Minutes from the Main Square but in a very quiet street. We had a superior room that was large and airy and also very clean. The owner is full of good information if you need it,and he supplies a good buffet breakfast in a super room more

Stayed here for two nights at the end of March. The hotel was easy to find on foot from the station (exactly a 15 minute walk, at a standard pace), and we were greeted warmly and checked in to a standard double room which was more than adequate for a cheap weekend away. Bed was lovely and comfortable and room... more
