the fevery was very friendly, welcoming and quiet - everything you want from a romantic weekend break! it really is excellent value for money - we paid E140 for 2 nights including breakfast for 2 of us.

we got to the hotel around lunchtime and were received at the door by the owner, who swiftly took us up to our room. the room was great, really clean and bright with a nice new bathroom. we also had a view down the street to the church.

breakfasts were basic but nice, bread and toast, jams and ham, cereal and fruit, all you could want really. we were also offered a boiled egg if we wanted one.

if i returned to bruges i would definitely stay here and have recommended it to friends.

I stayed here for four nights in February; it was my first visit back to Bruges for more than 20 years. Prior to my trip I checked TripAdvisor for some guidance and also looked at various websites.

I noticed that Hotel Fevery had some excellent reviews, it was available when I wanted to go and it was in a quiet part of town, but still close to the centre. On arrival on the Sunday evening, I was made to feel welcome, shown to my room and given some a map and a discount card for local attractions. Paul the proprietor was also helpful in suggesting a local restaurant for the first night.

The room was on the first floor and overlooked the street; it had an en-suite bathroom which was fine for my needs, there was a tv/radio and it was warm. There was also a safe in the room, but although I followed the instructions to the letter, I couldn't get it to work! Not really a problem though.

The breakfast was perfectly adequate, comprising of cornflakes, orange juice, rolls, bread, ham, cheese, tea/coffee and a boiled egg (recommended). There was also an internet point for guests' use for a nominal charge.

It's about a 10 minute walk to the centre of Bruges from the hotel, and there are at least three ways to get there. The streets around the hotel are atmospheric and very quiet; it only really seemed busy in the centre. Just five minutes walk away, I seemed to have the place to myself.

Although it was only February, there were plenty of others staying at the hotel; French, Germans, English, Americans and even the odd Belgian or two! Paul dealt very professionally with all his guests, and appeared to be fluent in at least four languages.

A tip for those arriving by train and wishing to get to the hotel quickly; take buses 4 or 14 from the station (they run about every 10 minutes) and get off at Gouden Handstraat. Cross the street and take the road signposted "Hotel De Pauw". At the end of this street turn right, and the Fevery is just past the church on the left hand side. The bus costs €1.20 if you buy the ticket from the machine at the station, or €1.50 if you buy it on the bus.

I would recommend this hotel, and would definitely stay here again.

For an economy hotel, it is done well. The amenities are basic but nice, in good condition and clean. Basic breakfast included. Very nice inn keeper with good info on the area. This is the best price for the quality for sure. It is a basic spot but a good value.

Right next to a lovely old large church and fairly easy to find - must take the bus if you have luggage (from city train station).

Would visit again. Beautiful city!

We have just spent 3 nights in Bruges at the Hotel Fevery and found it to be a really comfortable, friendly place to stay. The owner Paul was very helpful as other reviewers have stated. It is located in a nice area just north of the main Market square, with lots of really atmospheric streets close by.

Our room was located on the top floor and had a large bathroom with views over the street and a reasonable sized bedroom with views of the church. It was really lovely and warm in the room although the heating could be controlled, so when we got too warm we could adjust it.

Breakfast was good - decent rolls and bread, cereal, fruit and yoghurt plus an optional (highly recommended) boiled egg. We looked at some very over priced hotels in Bruges and while this was not the height of luxury it was a great place to stay and excellent value for money. We would definitely return here.

We recommend Bruges for a romantic getaway and liked the fact there weren't too many tourists around in January!
