During the day they was quite a bit of noise from tourists outside talking and taking photos. Our room was good sized with a faux fireplace and king bed. The large bathroom featured a double vanity, tub/shower combo and toilet. Our room rate included breakfast as well. The room decor could best be described as cozy cottage with subtle floral wall paper, well worn plank floors covered by an oriental rug and tall whitewashed wainscoting. The low ceilings and dark interiors added to the subtly. We arrived quite early on a train from Ghent so weren't able to get into the room but when we returned closer to 3, we were checked in and our rooms were even up already.

The rooms felt a bit outdated, wish there were outlets near the bed, but my biggest issue was about the cleanliness of the room and how it was outdated. There were spiderwebs in the shower, hair in the bed, the carpet was pretty dirty, and there was even a urine smell from one corner of the room. I should have said something but I wasn't staying long and I already unpacked and didn't want to go through the trouble so I just stayed away from that corner but there was definitely a smell in my room.

Note: My train was at 6:20 am to BRU. The set up of the room though is a little awkward. The shower stall and the sink both set up in an open area inside the room and the toilet is set up inside a cardboard like box. Talking about basic, there is this paper thin bath towel and nothing else. Note: no hair dryer. The price though was really reasonable and I was just here for 1 night.

Only gripe is that it is a pretty long walk from the hotel to the center of the town (took anywhere from 15-20 minutes). However it definitely is a budget hotel. You can't just rate something 1 star if you chose to pay less. This is a budget option and should be evaluated with other budget options, not the 4 Seasons or Hilton across the street. Additionally, as long as I don't get bed bugs, and decent rest, I think the hotel serves its purpose. Showers are basically in the room and only divided by opaque glass that doesnt reach the ceiling. Toilets have their own door.

We were pleasantly surprised at how quickly and efficiently we checked in to this charming hotel…read more We booked a room with a view and we were pleasantly surprised at the view. This is a small hotel within walking distance of the market. We walked from the train station. That walk was about 1 mile from train station. All roads and sidewalks are cobblestone. It was doable but a little challenging with our suitcases. I paid extra for the breakfast and room with the view. It was so worthwhile. We often opened the shutters and enjoyed the view while sipping a nice bottle of French wine. This town is well worth exploring. It is very walkable with 54 bridges crossing the beautiful canals. The architecture is of 14, 15 and 16th century. Thank goodness the beauty was not destroyed by WW 2. As we are in our room you hear the clipity clop of horse drawn carriages taking tourist around this charming city

Downside for me, the woman who checked us in seemed so bored, unhelpful, and actually annoyed. She was only interested in giving a standard spiel. We asked a question about the trains and she gave us her standard 'go back to the train station and ask them' spiel. The fellow checking us out the next day, same thing. Annoyed that we interrupted his coffee and chat with some fellow in their food service area when we asked to check out. The room lighting was about as helpful as a candle. Very poor lighting. To me the town folks seemed annoyed at the tourists in general even though it appears to be the city's main source of revenue. The market place was full of kitch from China as were many of the shops. The food was atrocious. The beer is good, the waffles are great, the chocolate is divine. Would unfortunately recommend a pass on the hotel as well as Bruges. You can get their chocolate in Paris.

Where to begin.... My favorite Hotel on the Planet…read more I travel from SoCal to Europe each holiday season for 3-4wks, always celebrating NYE in a dif city. So I've stayed in a LOT of 5star hotels. All have been grand but THIS hotel outshines them all. I have been here before - quick stays as a 'sidebar', over nighters. But this time decided on an extended stay. It's a smaller hotel, less than 20rpoms in total. But each is elegant & comfy & welcoming. Our suite is beautifully arranged with gorgeous roof top views and a sun deck for the 4 rooms on our floor. The unbelievably gorgeous restaurant is by night the amazing Le Mystique (wonderful food, elegant atmosphere, and the kindest, most attentive staff!! A MUST!!). and a beautifully done breakfast buffet by when the sun comes up. Their specialty is poached eggs and OH!! Are they 'special'!! Charcuterie & Sausages & Bacon & breads & fruits & grains & yogurts & cakes & juice & coffee & Champagne round out the delicious menu. The location is perfect! A 3 min walk to the main market place, 5 min to the main shopping area, and dozens of restaurants close by. A local food market is across & a bit down the street & Belgium Waffles are a hop away. But far and away.. the thing that separates this hotel from all others are those who seem to love working here. If I could figure out how to rate a review with 6 stars, I would give them 20. To say they are accommodating would be a bit like saying winning a hundred gazillion billion dollar lottery is 'a pleasant afternoon'. I could spend hours, remembering the kindnesses & smiles & attentive acts and never feel as tho I have given them enough respect. They are truly all just spectacular. Thank you, Mr & Mrs Creytens for creating such a wonder hotel. We are honored by our experience.

I have never encountered a kinder, more attentive staff than that of the Heritage. The hotel location could not be more convenient. They offer valet parking, which feels necessary in Bruges, and for €30 a day - well worth it! The breakfast included in our stay also had champagne- yes- I said champagne. In the evenings a tray of port and sherry is brought to your room with a light snack as an aperitif, and gratis! The hotel restaurant - Le Mystique- was the superb fine dining experiences of my life. I cannot say anything negative about this hotel - it is just not possible. If I ever find myself in Bruges again, I will absolutely be staying here.

It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary and they really went out of their way to make our stay special. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home, we were greeted by name with warmth and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was flawless. The rooms are beautifully designed, blending modern comforts with classic touches that capture the essence of Bruges' old-world charm. Each detail, from the soft linens to the well-curated decor, made for a truly relaxing and peaceful retreat. I loved the bathtub that had air jets and the huge rain shower head, getting out into a fluffy bathrobe was the best. The hotel's breakfast was a standout, offering a delightful spread that includes fresh pastries, local cheeses, and rich coffee and teas--perfect for starting your day in Bruges. My husband got the eggs benedict both days and loved them, a very unique take but amazing. The atmosphere in the bar was very inviting, with a cozy yet sophisticated vibe that makes it the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring and the bartenders were very kind and happy to offer suggestions. Whether sipping on a craft cocktail or enjoying a quiet moment, the service at the bar is exceptional, ensuring guests feel well taken care of. This boutique hotel is a hidden gem in Bruges, offering personalized service and a stay that combines comfort with character, and the parking was so easy which is a plus in Europe!

The fantastic staff also elevated the stay, along with the lovely furnishings, an amazing breakfast, and a great location. One nice thing that separates this hotel from others in Bruges is that the rooms themselves are modern. They aren't filled with gold encrusted fake fancy furniture, but rather a clean modern aesthetic. This is one of the reasons we chose it. One of the staff needs a special mention: Benjamin, who is there in the afternoons, made our stay especially wonderful. He was always friendly and professional, and willing to help with what we needed (usually a bucket of ice!) We went to a great restaurant that we had not considered based on his recommendation (and he made the reservation for us) and had a car that was big enough for us and our suitcases waiting for us when we left on our last day. A huge thank you goes to him. The breakfast was also outstanding; not only were the pastries (so fresh, with a French attention to crispness and butteriness), cheese/meat, rolls, fruit selection and tea/coffee service wonderful--but the made to order eggs were as well. The ham and cheese omelet was soft inside and the pancakes were light but substantial. The chef himself brings them out and there is definite pride in all the made to order dishes. The breakfast room is extremely comfortable as well...we found ourselves lingering there for a long breakfast instead of getting moving like we planned! The room was comfortable with an unusual setup; we had a duplex room overlooking the canal with a sofa upstairs. Though it had a canal view and a nice one, it's worth noting you had to stand at the window to see it as the windows are high off the floor. We didn't end up using the upstairs much as there was plenty of seating downstairs in our bedroom area. But the spacious feeling was appreciated with the extra height in the bedroom area. The toiletries provided were also very nice. The shower was not tall in height, but the rain shower was great--lots of water pressure and nozzles. We didn't try the oversized tub. Everything was very clean, and continued to be well cleaned during our stay. It was a lovely stay, and easy walking distance to all the sights in Bruges. We're very happy we chose the Van Cleef.

Our journey began late at night, driving from Paris to Belgium, excited for a family stay at an Airbnb we had booked. On our way to our destination, we received a message from the host; the apartment had been canceled last minute due to it "not being ready." We were in total disbelief. It was 4 a.m., our kids were exhausted, and we suddenly had nowhere to go, in a country we had never been to before. Attempting to make the best of a bad situation, we drove to Brugge, about 20 minutes from the original location, hoping to find a hotel that could take us in. What we didn't anticipate was how impossible that would be. We must have called nearly every hotel in the area, all of them turned us away, telling us check-in wasn't possible until 3 p.m. We felt helpless and defeated. That's when Steve entered the picture and everything changed. Steve was nothing short of a miracle. With patience, compassion, and unmatched professionalism, he worked with my husband through a chaotic string of conversations and finally found us a room; a warm, welcoming space where our kids could finally get some rest, and where we as parents could breathe again. At that moment, we didn't care what kind of hotel it was, we just needed somewhere safe to land. But to our surprise, the hotel was absolutely beautiful. Steve didn't just help us find a room, he gave us relief, comfort, and kindness when we felt completely overwhelmed. His calm, courteous nature and his determination to help were exactly what we needed in that dark hour. We will NEVER forget Steve and what he did for our family. He was, without question, the light in a very difficult morning. To Steve -- thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are a true professional, a lifesaver, and someone we will speak of with immense appreciation for years to come.
