Lock in a great price for Boat Hotel De Barge – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location and the fact that it was a floating hotel. Rooms were well appointed

Marion, Canada

Sitting next to a window in the restaurant, with the canal and the ducks So close, wonderful.

Margaret, United Kingdom

This is a very quirky place to stay within easy reach of Bruges center. The food in the restaurant was sensational as was the bar service - thanks Quintin! Windows opened onto the canal is great - ducks drifting past along with boats

Liz, New Zealand

This is a lovely alternative to a "normal" hotel room and the barge is comfortable and well located for the short walk into central Bruges.

Stuart, United Kingdom

Friendly atmosphere, staff attentive to all of your needs and the feel of staying on a boat.

Deb, Australia

Good variety of eatables at breakfast. The life jackets on the bed. Looking out onto the water from the bed.

Madalene, United Kingdom

Quirky hotel on a boat. Within walking distance of town centre. Clean but small rooms. Adequate breakfast.

Graham, United Kingdom

Breakfast was amazing and one of the reasons we returned again this year. Also a room overlooking the canal is essential for a relaxing stay. It makes all the difference. This is our second stay at this hotel and would certainly recommend it.

Julie, United Kingdom

great selection at breakfast, friendly staff very helpful receptionist, even got locked out (our fault )but immediately after phoning owner got back in seemed no bother and this was at 12.30 in the morning!! lovely quiet location on canal,good parking facilities 2min walk away. made us laugh that we had life jackets on bed on arrival!!!! didn't need to use them which was a plus!!! gorgeous comfy big bed wished we could have stayed longer. a great property all round x

Karen, United Kingdom

Loved being on the water, lovely view from our window. Only a short walk from the city and we preferred being away from the busyness of the centre of town. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast is good. And it was great to be able to park right outside the barge for free. The style of the boat is very nice.

Barry, United Kingdom

“Other than the shower, we had a very pleasant stay.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The shower! The temperature control of the shower was dreadful with the water changing from cold to scolding hot in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, this is a Health & Safety issue that needs to be sorted asap because it could be extremely dangerous for the young or elderly who might not be able to jump out of the shower quite as quickly as I did! This appeared to be a problem throughout the barge because our friends had a similar experience in their cabin (Cabins 25 & 26)
눇This is a lovely alternative to a "normal" hotel room and the barge is comfortable and well located for the short walk into central Bruges.

눉The hotel are going to need to update the hotel plumbing sometime soon. There is the occasional smell of drains. Poor parking. You will end up parked in the multi storey at the rail station.

눉The bathroom really needs a fan or a window, it gets very hot in there after a shower. And the normal double room is quite small so book a bigger room if you can.
