Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges
Great hotel in an amazing location in the heart of Bruges. We stayed in the new part of the hotel which was so quiet! No aircon in winter but you can open the window a jar which made the room nice and cool. With window open - still very quiet! Smallish shower but good pressure. Breakfast was fantastic ...
