MUCH better than anticipated

Booked for just one night as a fun experience staying on a barge. Assumed it would be pretty basic, so a lovely surprise it was really nice. Comfortable, bigger room/cabin than anticipated. Proper king size bed, good shower, excellent breakfast choice plus very welcoming to our dog. Can thoroughly recommend.

A very unique hotel experience with lovely views of the Gent-Bruges Canal. Excellent breakfast. Pleasant and helpful evening staff. Parking facilities are very minimal and inconvenient, and it is necessary to park at the Railway Station, some 1/4 mile away. The restaurant is not open on Tuesdays and we found it very difficult to find somewhere to dine in the evening.

Memorable trip

We were welcomed kindly & were impressed with the Barge decor. As others have reviewed: we parked at the train station for 6.20€ for 24hrs (pay on exit) and walked to the hotel along a quiet street. The walk to the town centre was comfortable; we took several routes to explore the area and they took us 20-30mins). Breakfast was included with our stay and the variety was welcomed. Our canel-view room was akin to a cruise ship cabin; quirky with enough space for our luggage for our single night stay. We will be recommending our stay to family/friends who visit Bruges.

A different Hotel in it being a barge which attracted us to it and it had that niceness about it. Break fast spread was good. Unfortunately there was a layer of dust on shelves in wardrobe and around top of panelling in bathroom. Floor was bitty underfoot. Notices a layer of dust on table light at breakfast. We also only had Luke warm water on arrival and in the morning. Also no tea making facility's in the room and was to be charged an extra 6 Euros on top of the 167 paid. Not impressed. ^ Euros not charged after complaint about dust. They should have made a further refund for no hot wtaer. Not worth the Money as it is.

Such a disappointment! I was super excited about our stay here, having read the reviews and looked at all the pictures online. I was shocked to find a room so small one couldn’t walk around the end of the bed, or open a small suitcase anywhere but ON the bed. The floors and bathroom were dirty ( dirt on floors, hairs mildew and rust in bathroom.) One small thin pillow on bed, thin lumpy mattress, old, small, thin towels. The concept of this hotel is so great, but sadly the execution does not meet expectations.

Un bateau sur l'eau

Cet hôtel est très sympa. C'est un bateau arrimé au quai et posé sur le canal. A environ un kilomètre du centre et très proche du lac d'amour et du Béguinage. Rien de plus sympa que de prendre son petit déjeuner (hyper copieux) avec les canards de l'autre côté de la vitre.

Attrape touriste à éviter !!

Un séjour en couple dans la cabine du capitaine, la literie est très usée, il y a de poussières très visibles sur les tables de nuit, la lumière de la salle de bain ne fonctionne pas, pas de chauffage dans la chambre du capitaine (on a pas été prévenu non plus), pas de place de parking non plus ( il y a 3 place devant le bateau uniquement). Après le signalement du chauffage qui ne fonctionne pas, on est revenu dans la soirée et c’était pas réparé (bien sûr on a pas été prévenu, on a dû descendre et demandé s’ils sont intervenus) après insistance on nous a proposé une plus petite chambre pour le même prix …. Et un dédommagement de 20 euros le lendemain …. Endroit à éviter

A charming and original accommodation in a quiet, open space just outside of the city center, which is only a 10-minute walk from the barge. Yes, it really is a barge! Even on a chilly autumn day, it's cozily warm. It has plenty of walking paths nearby to stretch out and walk the dog in the morning. The canal view also gets you a romantic sunrise and lots of sweet light. When you open the room window, you're almost eye level with the water. I thought ducks would drift in the room! The staff was patient with my fledgling Dutch and perfectly trilingual when I gave up. The breakfast is delicious and generous. The room was small but clean and efficiently retrofitted, as rooms in ships usually are. Why stay anywhere else?

Hotel original a proximite du centre historique

Chambres plutot confortables, dans une peniche. Ambiance marine (dorures, boiseries, moquette...), vue sur le canal, 15 minutes a pieds du centre historique. Acceuil polyglotte, personnel tres pro. Petit dejeuner buffet tout a fait correct. Points negatifs: pas de parking sur place (le plus proche est a environ 500 m). L'ensemble est un peu vieillissant et meriterai une renovation pour rester au top.

Lovely hideaway

I love the location and friendliness of this hotel. It is quirky and different. Only downside for me was, the bar/restaurant isn't always open when expected. We were on a 3 night stay, we arrived Monday no bar or restaurant open that evening, although the information in the room suggested the bar would be, so we made sure we booked a table for the restaurant the following 2 nights in case they worked on the fact there were no bookings so not opening. The food was good an plentiful. The staff very helpful and friendly. I can only assume the fact it is mid October and end of season it doesn't need to be open as much. Overall, I loved my stay at De Barge Hotel and have recommended it several times already.

Réveillés en s’apercevant que les draps sont tachés de sang (en bas du lit, au niveau des pieds), c’est ignoble ! De plus, nous pensions nous être fait dévorer par des moustiques, mais aujourd’hui en allant voir un médecin car les boutons grattaient toujours (plus de 20 piqures par personne), j’apprends qu’il s’agit de puces ou de punaises de lit, compte tenu des boutons. Nous déconseillons fortement cet établissement, où les services d’inspection devraient passer.

Unique hotels in Bruges

Enjoyed staying at de barge. Unique place to stay. The breakfast was great. It is not a five star place but clean in a nice area an easy walk to the centre of town. Quarters are tight and there is a slight musty smell but otherwise enjoyed. One of our party was very nervous staying on the barge as she is prone to seasickness and claustrophobia, but ended up having the best sleep of her holiday. The barge is fixed sonthere is no movement.
