Arturo United States of America

Outstanding 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.

David United States of America

There 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!

Nicole Australia

A 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.

Stephen United States of America

Everything! The beds are divine, the breakfast luxurious and the attitude of everyone was “how can we help?” Our entire family loved staying at the Van Cleef

Octavia United States of America

where to start? everything was amazing! front desk .. staff.. decoration.. rooms.. amenities everything was perfection.. they explained the area, provided recommendations, went through the details of the hotel lovely touches, like chocolate and weather condition, they said goodbye to us upto the car and provided us with water for the ride!

Abeer United Arab Emirates

I liked everything. The staff, the hotel, the design, literally everything... I will definitely visit again

Sultan Saudi Arabia

This hotel exceeded our expectations in every possible way! From the moment we stepped out of the taxi and Rebecca greeted us by name we knew we were in for a treat! Frederik, Rebecca and Benjamin made our stay so special with their attention to our every need. The hotel itself is gorgeous! Our room was quite large with a very lovely bathroom and incredible air conditioning! Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the canal was delightful and delicious! Our favorite part of the day was coming back in the afternoon to drinks on the terrace. You must enjoy a Gin and Tonic, made by Benjamin, or an Apperol Spritz, made by Rebecca! Simply the best! My husband and I would come back to Bruges just so we could spend another night at the Van Cleef!

Tonilewis United States of America

Everything about this hotel is amazing- location, accommodations, staff, ambiance- if we could give this place 6 stars we would. We are seasoned travelers and this is definitely on our top 3 properties in the world to stay!!

Silvie United States of America

The breakfast was lovely and plentiful with hot options for an additional fee. The service was attentive and elegant without being effusive.
