United States of AmericaThe history and the back story of the hotel is exceptional
KuwaitStaying at the Hotel Van Cleef is an amazing experience. We were treated like family our entire visit. Frederik is an incredibly gracious and knowledgeable host. Upon arriving our luggage was whisked away, we were given a tour of the property and a lovely welcome drink on the back patio overlooking the canal. Throughout our stay the Van Cleef team was warm and helpful (especially Benjamin who makes a mean martini!! He treated us with the utmost care and is a great conversationalist). We would recommend the Van Cleef to anyone visiting Bruges and we can’t wait to return!
United States of AmericaThe hotel was clean, superb ambience, and a comfortable patio on the canal.

United States of AmericaOutstanding boutique hotel, very clean and nicely decorated. Very comfortable room and wonderful breakfast. Easy walking distance to the town square and other attractions. All the staff were excellent, particularly Benjamin and Camille.
United States of AmericaThere are so many positives - from our beautiful room that overlooked the canal to the service which was outstanding. My husband and I have stayed in some of the worlds most luxurious hotels and this was one of the best. We’ll be back!
AustraliaA truly exceptional experience in every way. Can’t say enough good things about this hotel. A beautiful historic estate remodeled as a hotel. Outstanding location on the edge of the historic area, but on the edge, so also quiet. On a canal, so beautiful location on the water. Outstanding breakfast in the backyard, on the canal, pastries, fruit, and hot options. The hotel owners made it feel more like we were house guests in a private residence, and helped with every aspect of our stay, including transportation, dinner reservations, gave us a tour of the property. Room was large, comfortable, amazing view of the water.
