Scandic Belgium
 

I've done a search in a variety of groups (including Hilton) and am not finding any information on the proximity of the Scandic properties in Bruges and Antwerp to the rail stations/bus stations and/or the historic center of town. I'd like to use public transportation as much as possible when staying at these hotels and have not been able to figure out if/how that will be possible.

I've tried writing to the hotels but have not gotten very helpful information from Antwerp, and no information at all from Bruges. (The Bruges Scandic has not responded to four e-mail messages over a 6 week period!)

Anyone stay at these hotels and try to use public transport? Thanks in advance.

Do you have street addresses for these hotels? There is probably some online map program available that could help you track them down.

I've tried that, but it doesn't give me bus routes etc. to see whether the hotels are accessible by public transport from the hotspots I want to get to/from.

I don't exactly know where the Scandic properties are located in Bruges or Antwerp, but our bus system is fairly extensive so you really shouldn't worry about public transport in any of the mayor cities in Belgium.

The Scandic Bruges hotelsite states that there is a bus station 500m away.
All busses in Bruges stop at the central station so from there you can get anywhere you like.

I'm not so familiar with Antwerp and it's public transport system but I'd be amazed if you couldn't take a bus into the city at less than 1/2 mile from the hotel.

Thanks very much for the reassuring response. I am still hoping to hear back from Hilton -- although it has already been many weeks with no response. Thanks again. I am really looking forward to visiting your country.
