Beautiful hotel. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Only 17 rooms so it was cozy. The patio by the canal was our favorite place in Bruges.
The staff was very attentive and helpful. They made us feel welcome as soon as we entered the door . They grabbed our luggage and gave a brief tour of their beautiful boutique hotel.
Made excellent recommendations on restaurants and attractions. The service was impressive . Breakfast was delicious and served in a gorgeous atmosphere whether inside or outside on the canal . Would definitely choose to stay there again .
The Van Cleef is absolutely exceptional: the staff are helpful and discreet; the breakfast is outstanding (especially if you eat on the terrace overlooking the canal); it is well situated; and the interior design of the public areas is very impressive. It felt like a trip back in time -- it was so individual, as if you were as guest in their home. I would recommend it without hesitation.
This was an amazing hotel. I booked it for my wife and 15-year-old daughter for a girls trip. It was extremely safe and they couldn't stop raving about how amazing The Hotel and staff were.
Brandon and everyone else working in tandem at this majestic property were phenomenal. I was traveling with a friend on this trip however, I will return with my spouse later this year and get a canal suite.The views from the lounge area are are amazing. It is so refreshing and relaxing! The Scale doesn’t go high enough to rate this hotel. C'est presque divin !
Exceptional! Hotel Van Cleef is pure magic. The divine hotel itself, the amazing staff, the location. Everything was perfect. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Bruges is a magnificent town, and this hotel is the perfect place to stay there.
Hotel Van Cleef was a joy to stay in during our visit to Bruges. The owner and his wife are very accommodating and the staff is always friendly and helpful. There is probably no better place in Bruges to enjoy a luxurious visit.
The place is simply wonderful, starting with the reception and its staff, whose smiles never leave their faces and who handle the check-in procedures as quickly as possible. From there, to the hotel lobby made up of several lounges, designed and furnished in a modern way that suits the historic character of the place, then to the warm and beautiful room and the dining hall. Simply put, the place creates a beautiful memory that lasts.
This place was an incredible find! The whole family made us feel right at home and took every opportunity to ensure we had a fabulous stay.
From the welcome glass of champagne to the delicious breakfast, everything at this hotel was extraordinary!
One of the most pleasant hotel stays of my life. Beautiful hotel, amazing decor, comfortable, and with impeccable service. The true essence of hospitality and class.
