to get started.

The location of the hotel! Well-cared for breakfast with a view of passing boats...!

Felipe

Boat experience and the view in breakfast was unparalleled. Close to Train station too. Walking Tour guides start really close to premises

Mohammed

Location great right near parking lot and entrance to old town attractions. The cabin we had was the superior room ( larger and at end of barge ). Room and bathroom very clean. Bathroom and cabin were small like on a Cruise ship. Breakfast was very good with something for everyone ‘s taste. Good experience.

We loved this hotel! We stayed in the "captain's quarters" room 36, roomy and with a window across the water looking toward town. It was very, very quiet during the week. Ducks visited us at dinner right outside the window, and the food and beer were spectacular, far beyond expectations - a great restaurant in a city of great restaurants. The staff was kind and helpful, and the location, 10-15 minute walk to the heart of Bruges (with a bus available) was just perfect. You can go up Katelijnstraat, a touristy street with many cafes and chocolate shops, or go across the river to the Minnewaterpark and enjoy a serene walk across a lovely bridge, through a lovely park, and into a quiet part of town. Bruges was really wonderful, and this hotel made the experience even more so. We will definitely be back.

I really loved the view we had of the river in our room and breakfast was delicious.

The property is one of a kind! Very comfortable room on a barge (large boat anchored to a dock) with convenient access to the city of Bruge. The staff was really nice and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent!

The only thing that is maybe bad is sound isolation. You can hear people passing by your cabin. But other guests were pretty quiet, so we didn't have any issues with that. After 10 it was really quiet.
Everything. This hotel is one of the most beautiful we've been to. To me, it looks like it is freshly renovated. Everything is solid, nothing was broken, scratched, etc. Bed was really comfortable. Whole room was sparkling clean. Breakfast is good with a nice number of options to choose. Breakfast area is beautiful. Staff is excellent, eager to help. From my perspective, this hotel should have more than 3 stars.

The two beds move, so my husband almost fell in between the beds at night. Our room wasn't vacuumed even once during our 3 night stay.
Really cool to stay on a boat. Good room, spacious enough. Breakfast was good and the view from the restaurant onto the water is great. Location is fine - not too far from the centre and not too close. Exactly as on photos.

Gorgeous stay on the barge with a river view. I'd definitely stay in Brugge more than just one night at least because of this hotel. Decent breakfast with a great view, well equipped and neat rooms. City center is just 10 minutes walk.

Not much to say here! Had a wonderful trip!
Great, comfortable stay in this quirky little hotel about 10 mins walk from the hustle and bustle of Brugge. I had read some bad reviews after booking on other sites and my heart had sank a little as this was a special getaway, however those people clearly don't know what they're talking about! The hotel is lovely and different- which is what you expect when you book a barge hotel! The staff were friendly and subtly attentive. The hotel itself was quiet, despite being fully booked, and the location was great as it was just outside the touristy areas. Easy walking distance to all local attractions and amenities. Would definitely recommend!
