The staff was incredibly helpful and very professional. The location is a short walk to the train station, but a little longer walk to the city center.

Cynthia United States of America

Very nice location. Had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good.

Corinne United States of America

We like the authenticity in the room. The room is well structured and equipped. The view is serene you wake up to birds chirping, water waves and beautiful skies.

Arppan Netherlands

Good organisation despite corona Good location to visit Bruges and good starting point if you have your bikes with you Enclosed facility to store your bicycles (5 euro/stay) Make sure you have rooms with canal view Friendly staff

Michel Belgium

The staff was very kind! The private dining rooms were superb in times of corona and closed restaurants. Nice breakfast, excellent dining! Waking up next to the water, breakfast with a view on the canal, awesome! Walking distance from the city centre.

Joris Belgium

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

Felipe Belgium

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

Mohammed Egypt

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.

Lee United States of America

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.

Jeffrey United States of America

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