Could not be better

Nice and cosy

Beautiful and peaceful spot in Brugge. A lovely hotel with helpful staff and a great bar.

Absolutely superb and wonderful experience. This hotel is exquisite and its staff is perfection. We can’t wait to return!

We stayed for 4 nights in this excellent hotel and took the room upgrade offered by the desk at check-in at minimal additional cost. This gave us a large room overlooking the courtyard with an excellent bathroom with separate bath and walk in shower. There was a separate loo off the entrance corridor. It was almost like a suite and benefitted from having two doors between the bedroom and the main hallway. It was very well furnished had generous stowage and space for luggage, that meant it was neat and uncluttered with everything squared away. The beds were very comfortable. Above all it was quiet. We never heard a thing and slept very well. The hotel is beautifully decorated in an understated style but showcases its historic features. Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France all met here in 1546 (when it was a monastery not an hotel). It is situated in secluded, well-maintained gardens. There are two restaurants, a bar and a very well appointed spa. The staff were charming and helpful and all spoke good English - which is pretty much normal in the Netherlands anyway. We ate in the Brasserie and the food was first class. As it is well-placed in the town centre, other dining options were available only minutes away. All were of a good standard.

Lovely hotel. Very good food in the bistro

Wonderful and elegant hotel, high level of service, beautiful setting. I would definitely stay there again.

Grosses, sauberes Zimmer. Tolles Frühstück. Freundliches Personal. Sehr gut gelegen, nahe bei der Innenstadt.

Balcony view was lovely. Room very comfortable. Staff wonderful. The manager of housekeeping very kind to bring me more creamers.

Great service !

Beautiful hotel in historic buildings.

Nice grounds but dated interior. Some of the most uncomfortable beds and pillows I’ve ever experienced

Nice clean room and well shaped garden, but unfortunately outside of the hotel sometimes noisy and woke me up at night.

lovely historic setting upgraded with all the modern conveniences - in a great location for walking

Hotel was stunning and only a minute or two walk to the nearest cafes and bars. Very helpful amd friendly staff. Would recommend the rooms with balcony and canal view, very spacious and very comfy bed and pillows. Will definitely return.

This hotel is so central and the staff were really helpful.

The staff at this hotel are amazing but a very special mention for Rob who literally saved my life when I had a medical emergency. His fast acting response meant that I am alive to write this review - I will be forever grateful. We will certainly be back to this wonderful hotel.

ユトレヒト中央駅から徒歩１０分弱の利便性と歴史の風格を兼ね備えた良いホテルだと思います。

W hi at an incredible surprise when we checked in. So much greater than the pics The History of the place, and all the amenities. The room was spectacular looking over the park and canal. So peaceful. Yet it was so close to everything. This was the crown jewel in our visit to Netherlands. We fell in love with Utrecht. I will recommend Karel-V as top place to stay. The staff were so helpful getting us to the hotel when we got lost. Sent a taxi for us. Thankyou so much for such a memorable time.

Have stayed before always clean always top notch. Staff are excellent
