Great location so close to the Markt and nearby park house. Yet away from the main road that it is quiet. A little gem off the beaten track.

Great central situation
The hotel is very central and ideal for getting around. The breakfasts were ample with a good choice of continental breakfasts. The room was very small, but had a huge comfortable bed. There was hardly any storage, only 4 coat hangers and 2 shelves. The shower was excellent, but a very strange set up with the loo & shower cubicle at the bottom of the bed. The wash basin was less than 2 feet from the side of the bed which made manoeuvring around the bed difficult. A 5ft bed rather than 2 3ft beds pushed together would allow a bit more space. The room was very hot and a mini fridge would have been nice., but I appreciate that the lack of space would make it difficult. As we went as a group of 4 it would have been good for one of the downstairs rooms to be open for socialising, but they were locked. Overall, the hosts were friendly and it was a very central hotel.

Comfortable, well-located small hotel
Hotel Marcel was exactly what we were looking for after 10 days of biking through the Netherlands and Belgium. We called to see if we could drop off our luggage early and they told us we could actually check in at that time, which was a huge bonus. Everyone was friendly and helpful, the location near the main square was perfect and the room not huge but very well laid out so we were very comfortable. A very good value; would stay there again.

Great stay in the center of Bruges! Easily accessed from Central Station by bus. Hotel location was perfect for walking to all major attractions, restaurants, and pubs. Room was well equipped, easily accessed by elevator, and cleaning staff tidied and restocked room daily. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Important to note that check-in is from 3-5pm unless otherwise requested. Coffee is also not available in the room however there are plenty of great options within steps of the hotel. Overall fantastic stay and would highly recommend Hotel Marcel!

Dear Jaqueline,I think you gave a review to the wrong hotel. We are hotel Marcel in Bruges / Belgium.Unfortunately we don't have a lot of free street parking and we don't have a café Liberty (not that I know of).We do however have free wifi in the whole building, incl all rooms.Kind regards

Perfect location very clean but the the shower pressure was really bad switching from hot to cold. The A/c didn’t work and room was too hot and the beds were two singles pushed together with a hammock effect. Not comfortable.

Hotel ok, in the norm for the aspect. Very noisy room at night because nightclub very close. The receptionist, glasses with short hair blonde, despite having a baby put us in that room that looked like an inner courtyard closet. Very poor breakfast. Staff is always no smiling.

Fabulous hotel in a great location in Bruges. Clean, free breakfast, very, very helpful staff. Just steps away from all there is to do in Bruges. Only drawback is no a/c, but its almost never needed in Bruges.

Hotel Marcel was beautifully decorated and well maintained throughout. The backlit photo mural across the bedroom roof was a surprise and delight. The staff / proprietors were friendly and helpful in all manner of languages and we enjoyed relaxing in the outside lounge during a varied and tasty breakfast, and later with a beer. As hoped, it was peaceful but only a stone's throw from Bruge main square.

Lovely property. Great location. Breakfast offered a nice variety. The room was tiny, which is to be expected, but ample for my needs. The walls are a little thin and the street can be a bit busy, so light sleepers might need earplugs.

Really nice hotel in a great location, right off the main market in town. Just off a side street so even though you are right in the middle of town, it's a quiet street. Also, a laundromat is next door. Great breakfast too. Our room for 3 was a little small. Left our bags there for the entire day after check out so they were very accommodating.

Perfect location with friendly, helpful staff. Very clean but don’t expect a “American “ style room. Room is spacious enough but limited storage space. We stayed 4 nights and would stay there again, Nice continental style breakfast was included.

Great location! Outstanding breakfast. I wanted a room with a view and that meant that I would have a room on the street. The hotel had warned me that the noise levels could be loud at night. They were right but the rooms do come with earplugs.

Christmas Market trip
10 out of 10 for location. Clean and tidy. Terribly overpriced. Tiny room with no wardrobe. Overlooked so curtains needed to be shut at all times. Bar that shuts at 11 on the dot, and I mean on the dot. Basic breakfast with a toaster nearly as old as myself. If you don’t need to be within 50 metres of the main square then stay elsewhere.

Great all rounder
Subtly funky and quite considerate of the environment this is a lovely, comfortable and well located hotel with a nice ethos. Only minor drawback was no kettle in the room, but with so many places to visit to eat and drink, and a great breakfast selection, it just encourages you to get up and enjoy your holiday for longer!
