The cozy cabin provided a unique atmosphere with charming nautical decor, perfect for relaxing. Mornings began with a delightful breakfast spread that featured porridge, which was a nice touch. However, finding the mooring was difficult in the dark, and the walk to the city center felt longer than advertised. Additionally, the mood was dampened by the weather, making outdoor exploration less enjoyable.

Loved the quirky cruise cabin with a fantastic canal view, and walking to the town square was such a breeze!

not only was my room like a sauna, but the rock hard beds made sleep impossible. the keys opened every door on my floor—how safe! i almost woudl ve been generous with a review until i realized i wasn’t offered an upgrade despite the empty cabins. unfortunate to feel like just a number on a barge.

The canal-side views were amazing, with geese visiting our window. It’s a short walk to the city center. The breakfast was a feast, and the restaurant on board came highly recommended. We visited the market and a local brewery, both just a stroll away.

One night, the noise from the cabin above kept us awake, which was a bit annoying. It's a boat, so some creaking is expected.

Staying on a barge was a fun experience for my family. We enjoyed the breakfast, which included tasty cold meats and hot options. The location is an easy 20-minute stroll to Bruges' center, and seeing ducks swim by our cabin made it memorable.

My kids wished for bigger showers. they were cramped.

Unique stay on the water!

We really liked our quirky cabin with a canal view, so refreshing! The breakfast was a hit, especially the fresh croissants with smoked salmon. The staff were super friendly and quick to help out. Just wish the room wasn’t so cramped. it felt a bit tight with all our stuff.

unique room experience, duck views from windows, quirky nautical theme

Rooms are cramped!!! Shower pressure needs improvement!!! Maintenance and cleanliness require attention!!! Confusion over additional charges for coffee facilities is frustrating!!! Parking options are limited during peak times!!!

It was just a good match for a transient stop in Bruges with best value. Enjoyed the great help-yourself breakfast with lots of fresh options every morning that really set a nice tone for the day. Consider bringing your own snacks and drinks for convenience.

unique experience but a few drawbacks

The canal views from my Cruise Cabin were stunning, making for a peaceful stay. Breakfast offered a varied selection, which truly exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive, particularly the bartender who managed multiple areas with grace. Additionally, relaxing on the sun terrace while enjoying the lovely surroundings was a fantastic way to unwind.

The room felt a bit cramped for two people.

Plus, I loved lounging on the sun terrace, soaking up the sun while taking in the lovely view and sipping coffee. 😊

staying at the boat hotel de barge was such a unique experience! the cruise cabin garden view was cozy and offered lovely views of the water. the staff went above and beyond, especially in helping to organize a surprise engagement for my brother. it's conveniently located within walking distance to the city center and some great local restaurants.
