What a gem in Bruges (Brugge). We arrived and parked the car in their private parking area behind the hotel (we are in the heart of the center of Bruges here), walked through their beautiful garden and were met by Kathleen, the host. She welcomed us, explained everything about the hotel and showed us two rooms that we could choose from. We choose suite 20 upstairs with a bedroom and separate bathroom (with bath, separate shower, toilet, vanity and plenty of space. We also decided to book the hotels restaurant, den Heerd, for the first night without really knowing what it was like. We were not disappointed, yes prices may seem slightly high but it is worth every Euro. We later discovered that restaurant is mentioned in the Michelin Guide. We had two other diners in Bruges and were slightly disappointed by them that we had our last meal again at den Heerd and again were blown away by the service, the quality of the food and the atmosphere. So, we stayed in Montanus for 4 nights and have not been disappointed one single bit. The room was great, very clean and well appointed (sure, some things could possible be changed but that is personal preference). Breakfast every morning was fantastic with a large selection of breads, meats, cheeses, eggs, pancakes, etc. The restaurant, which is also used for breakfast, is very nice and well styled. No expenses have been spared on the interior. The hotel itself is very well maintained, the owners both work in the hotel and are very approachable and kind. They love what they do and that can be seen in every aspect of the hotel. The only thing we were a little surprised by was the cost of parking for hotel guests, that is something that could potentially be looked at. Other than that, 5 stars and returning guests for sure.

We have just returned from a 2 night stay for my partners 30th birthday. I booked for 3 rooms but I needed the other 2 rooms to be secret as it was a surprise with his family arriving. The staff were fantastic! I emailed in advance and they didn't mention the other 2, great customer service!! :-D The rooms were wonderful, they were set at the back of the garden area with a table and chairs out the front. The hotel was spotless, it was modern but with a cosy atmosphere. It felt personal and the staff couldn't do enough for us :-) Great selection for breakfast with a chocolate fountain!! Also a great location, it's only a short walk to the main square. I would 100% recommend this hotel! Very impressed :-)

First visit to beautiful Bruges. This hotel is perfectly located. Just a couple minutes walk to the kissing bridge. It’s located in a quiet street but so central. It’s 10 mins walk from the bus/train station. Staff are so friendly and efficient. Rooms are stunning and so clean. We had views of the cathedral. Fluffy white robs and slippers. Bottles of water. Free tea or coffee. Won’t be my last visit to Bruges and I know where I will be staying when I come again. Highly recommend. Was everything we wanted and more.
