Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff and delightful city! Will definitely stay here again.

Brimmer United States of America

This is an exceptional place to stay in Bruges. It's located on a side street of the city center, so it's very conveniently located. When we walked through the entrance, we were struck by the quiet beauty of the hotel, and friendly staff who made us feel welcome. The staff are multi-lingual, approachable, not stuffy, and eager to help with any questions you might have. The rooms are exquisitely decorated. This is quiet luxury at its finest - - beautiful sheets on a just-right mattress, and attentive, unpretentious service. Not to be missed.

Emilio United States of America

Beautiful property. with superb service and very convenient location!

Oren United States of America

architecture, staff (Lucas), food, service, room, decorations, owner (Fredrick) and everything about this hotel are perfect.

Francisco United States of America

Ali Kuwait

Staying 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!

Olivia United States of America

The hotel was clean, superb ambience, and a comfortable patio on the canal.

Natalie United States of America

Beautiful hotel on the canal. Very friendly owners and staff.
