Room for improvement.
Far from perfect but Nice, if not very expensive, hotel with helpful staff, if you can find them. Front desk often unmanned. Lights in suite were faulty. Apparently repaired on day 2 but still faulty so both nights unable to have ambient lighting. Poor given huge price paid. Bathroom smelled of drains. No slippers in suite despite advertised and rubbish initial offering of tea/coffee for 2 people (e.g. 1 tea bag). Rectified but surely we dont have to ask at this price point?

Lovely hotel
Hotel is in a good location. It is in a quiet street within 10 minutes of the main square. The room was clean, good size and bed was very comfortable. It had toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, fridge and coffee machine. We did not eat in the hotel so cannot make any comment on the food. Parking (€25 per day) is more expensive than local car parks but it’s onsite, convenient and well spaced. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. I would certainly stay here again.

Pleasant and efficient service. Lovely garden room. Very comfortable and tasteful style through hotel. Excellent food, especially the Christmas Day lunch. Christine at reception was a great help, when we had problems with on line check in for our flight. Thank you. We will highly recommend Hotel Montanus

Lovely hotel - would stay again
The hotel was lovely in a really good location easy to walk everywhere you need to. Pictures don’t do the beauty of the garden justice! Hotel is lovely and parking nearby at Katelijne is reasonable too. Great stay, would stay here again in Bruges. Pic of the view from our room attached. This is from the front door which has a lovely balcony area to sit and drink morning coffee (free from the hotel and great coffee)

Lovely little hotel in a good location.
The hotel was very nice, very clean and the location was just a few minutes walk from local souvenir shops and around 10 minutes to the centre of Bruges. Beds were very comfy with loads of pillows and they even have some English TV channels. Only slight issue for my friends was there was no kettle in the room, but this didn't bother me.

What a lovely little hotel. We stayed at the back overlooking the landscaped gardens. You wouldn’t know you that you were in the city of Bruges. Warm welcome and a good breakfast in a very modern dining room. I would definitely aim for this hotel again. Christmas shopping in Bruges here we come !!

Double room was a huge disappointment
The rooms for the Hotel are completely seperate outside the Hotel itself. We had booked a standard double room and it was tiny. We barely had any room. The bathroom door opened up and would hit the double bed. The steam off the bathroom set off the smoke alarm and the manager came up to enquire. Which was fine. But annoying at the same time because we just wanted the privacy. The room was that small. There was no air con or Windows that we could open in the room so it got very stuffy at night. On our arrival, we were literally given the key and then left to it. Nothing was mentioned about check out time, what was on offer etc. We found out that breakfast per person was an extortionate price of €18 per person, which we obviously didn't go near. The Hotel itself looked to be kept very clean but overall the only thing we found great was the location. It was a 10 minute walk from everything. Even though we didn't spend much time in our room (because we were out and kept busy), we found the time we DID spend was hindering because it was that small. Too squashed. Bruges was a beautiful place and we will definitely go back. Just to a different Hotel next time.

A lovely hotel in Bruges
A nice hotel with comfortable beds and very clean. It is in a quiet part of Bruges, but still close to downtown and not far from the train station. The staff at the desk and the maid were very helpful and nice.

really nice hotel, both within walking distance of train station and main square. Bar area and garden area is lovely. Rooms are a bit small but some have a balcony and chair to sit on which was a lovely touch. Didn't try breakfast so can't comment on that. Overall great hotel, but expensive but worth it for convenience.

Hotel Montanus was comfortable and clean. We did not partake in the breakfast because we found it to be a little pricey - this was the only hotel we stayed in over our 3 week vacation that charged for children (ours are 5 and 3).

Perfect hotel-- wish it had AC!
The hotel was very comfortable-- we had a suite which was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable, and the hotel was beautiful. Sadly, we came during a really intense heat wave, and as there was no air conditioning, the room reached uncomfortable temperatures. Apperantly Belgium experiences heat like that once in a blue moon, so the whole town is unprepared to accommodate such temperatures. It's sad, because the hotel was lovely and I think we would have been able to enjoy it much more without the heat! Alas. I would recommend staying here-- but check the weather report first :)

Convenient to the city center
We stayed in this hotel for three nights on a recent jaunt to Bruges. The hotel itself is nice, as is the restaurant (which was kind enough to stay open late for us as we arrived on a late train from Paris). The room was a touch weirdly set up, but that's likely due to the fact that we wound up in the ground-floor, handicap-access room. We'd definitely stay again, though we'd probably ask for a different room the next time. If you're coming in via rail, it's a quick 15 or so minute hike from the station.

very central
lovely hotel but we found the biggest let down was the fact there was no kettle or coffe/tea to make drinks. big let down. the rest good, big rooms and bathrooms. found it quite noisy as there was traffic along that road from early morning. we were on the 1st and 2nd floor. rooms arre nicely furnished and comfortable. dont bother ordering breakfast in bed, they offer that but its v expensive. just wonder out and within 3-4 mins there's a v good coffee place nearby. brugge is a v pretty and pleasant city. disappointed most of the shops close quite early especially the coffee places. overall hotel was good but i don't think we'll come back to it. good experience.

Hotel booked via Expedia online and immediately thought Hotel Montanus looked ideal as in comfort,bedrooms,peaceful gardens with water sculptures and beautiful restaurant. We had breakfast everyday which was excellent range of hot and cold. Sadly didn't take time for dinner as we wandered far so ate in town. Staff are so mannerly along with the hard working domestics.Truly a memorable stay and will be booking here next trip.

Excellent place to stay
This hotel has an excellent central location within 10 minutes walk of the major attractions, but in a quiet back-street with it's own lovely garden with water feature, seating and restaurant. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful, providing local information and service. On request, we we're provided with an excellent cot-bed for our daughter which she loved. We made use of a close-by underground car park which was reasonably priced for 24 hours.

We enjoyed our stay in Bruges we found the people very helpful and friendly , we found parking close by at Novotel hotel car park ( shown by a Bruges resident who took us their ) hotel was good , but our room was very warm could of done with being able to open windows , tea & coffee facility in bedroom would have been good , no wifi in bedroom . But we would definitely return to Bruges excellent restaurants and a sociable place to spend a couple of days .

Lovely hotel helpful staff
This hotel is only a 10 minute walk from centre, but in the nearby streets there is plenty of shops, all one needs. The hotel can only be described as beautiful. We were given a garden room which was ready for us early (without extra charge). Our room was clean, comfortable but there were a couple of downers. The mini bar didn't work (warm drinks) and also the safe in the room didn't work ( however they kindly held our passports at front desk for us). We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel as it was 18 euro each - which seemed a bit much - but there are loads of places nearby where you can get a coffee and croissant / waffle etc.

Beautiful Hotel
The hotel is perhaps 5 minutes away from anything exciting but that means it's ever so quiet and peaceful. The staff are very attentive and the beds in particular are extremely comfortable. The garden and patio area were a very welcome feature and made for an even more pleasant stay. I wouldn't hesitate in staying here again - HIGHLY recommended.

mosquitoes, flies, and surly reception
Don't be fooled by the 4 star rating of this hotel. The beds sagged like sway back horses, the room was grim -- dark brown walls, brown carpet, with abundant house flies for accent. The room was above the courtyard, which billowed with smoke from smokers, so I am not sure how the mosquitoes survived. But so they did, dining heartily on me and my daughters. The reception area was ornamented with a giant bell -- actually everyone had to use this multiple times to drag forth a member of the surly staff.
