  • The Basilica of the Holy Blood is a Roman Catholic minor basilica in Bruges, Belgium. Originally built in the 12th century as the chapel of the residence of the Count of Flanders, the church houses a venerated relic of the Holy Blood allegedly collected by Joseph of Arimathea and brought from the Holy Land by Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders. Built between 1134 and 1157, it was promoted to minor basilica in 1923. The 12th-century basilica is located in the Burg square and consists of a lower and upper chapel. The lower chapel dedicated to St. Basil the Great is a dark Romanesque structure that remains virtually unchanged. The venerated relic is in the upper chapel, which was rebuilt in the Gothic style during the 16th century and renovated multiple times during the 19th century in Gothic Revival style. Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium, in the northwest of the country. The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as The Venice of the North. Bruges has a significant economic importance thanks to its port and was once one of the world's chief commercial cities. Bruges is well known as the seat of the College of Europe, a university institute for European studies. #LIFEATEXPEDIA #TRAVEL #HILLBILLYINPARIS #BRUGES

The loft space at Hotel Marcel was perfect for a weekend visit to Bruges. It offered 2 bedrooms, ample space, a little kitchenette, and was very clean. The location was perfect—close to the centre but also quiet at night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room and beds were great, water pressure and temperature while showering was somewhat inconsistent, but likely due to timing in the morning. Noise insulation was not great, we could hear lots of noise from the streets outside and the guests above us apparently were completely rearranging their furniture for an hour or so which was very loud in our room.

Brugge Hotel

Hotel is in an amazing area! So close to everything.Safe and beautiful block. Beds are comfy No persons at front desk after 6:00 pm Rooms are small, but we never care because we are never in our room except to sleep. Cleaning lady knocked on our door at 9:30 am to clean room which is fine but there was so much dust balls under our bed that it came out from under our bed. Maybe they should try dusting the rooms better especially under the bed. Hotel is a no frills hotel.Area of hotel perfection.

As soon as I made the booking, the hotel staff contacted us to ask our time of arrival. As we were arriving after the reception was closed we were informed how we could get access to the the hotel and our room with access code, which worked with no issues - they even send us instructions with pictures which was very helpful! The room was good, comfortable and clean. The hotel also has storage to leave the luggage before/after the check in/check out, however this service doesn't work 24h - the staff was very friendly and came up with an alternative that suited us. I would highly recommend Hotel Marcel and would stay there again the next time we visit Bruges.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I want to say that this is a lovely little hotel. Room was small and clean - breakfast bar was lovely and staff were helpful. However I am rating at a 2 because what we didn't know is that it backs up to a club that is open from 10pm - 4am and we could hear the music loud and clear and the DJ speaking. It was aweful and we did not get any rest. This alone is why I am rating it at a 2. Our room did face the back of the property and maybe the front facing rooms are different but be aware. It made our short stay in Bruges disappointing.

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.
