Hotel Portinari

Went as a stop after the Belgium f1. Nice big room for 4 of us with great facilities and pleasant staff. Great location, easy parking and really nice.

Hotel Portinari's main advantage is its location, as it is conveniently situated within walking distance of Bruges' major tourist attractions, including the Belfort. Additionally, there is public parking nearby, although it does not belong to the hotel. The garage can be confusing to navigate, so I recommend asking the hotel for detailed directions before your arrival. Unfortunately, that is where the positives end. The hotel feels outdated and lacks proper cleanliness. Our biggest issue was that our room had a strong smell of vomit. It was clear that someone had been sick near the door before our arrival. Although the area may have been wiped down, the stain and odor remained, making our stay feel unpleasant and unhygienic. Another significant downside is the bathroom design. We stayed in a "Club Collection" room, and the bathroom consisted of a glass enclosure in the middle of the room. You can see directly into the shower and toilet area from the beds, providing zero privacy. This setup might be acceptable for couples, but it is definitely not suitable for families or anyone who values bathroom privacy. I would not stay here again and strongly recommend considering other options in Bruges.

Great location, super clean with a well designed room that had a modern ambience and view of a Bruges skyline. Very comfortable.
