I had a fantastic experience at Velotel Brugge overall! The modern decor and comfortable atmosphere really stood out to me. While it's a bit of a drive from the city center, the quiet setting was a big plus for relaxation. However, I encountered a minor issue with parking since the small lot can get busy. Still, the quality of my stay made up for it.
