Merkem, Houthulst hotel rooms at the Independent

"Exceptional stay in the Family Rooms, plenty of space, comfortable beds, fantastic breakfast. Breakfast is not included if you book on a third-party site, it is well worth purchasing it! So many delicious options. The dinners are a bit pricey, but the food is extraordinary. Try the Bar-B- Que ribs and the Tenderloins. Fantastic! Easy trip to downtown Bruges. "

"Pet friendly, very good staff, very good cocktail bar. Very clean and good situation."

"Great reception friendly staff! Parking was close to hotel even though road was closed due to special no car day. Only a couple minutes to walk to town and to menin gate ceremony Only to as one might bit wound recommender I’d go back if I had reason to return to area"

"Totally fantastic (nearly perfect) hotel! Location is amazing, breakfast is truly exceptional, bar has great food (not "bar food", great food!). The look & feel of the entire hotel is great, and the service is first class.
