A great place to stay away from the busy centre. The young lady from Albania was amazing and helped us a lot, she is a great asset to your business. Thoroughly recommend. And has the best towels ever, large and so so soft 👌

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
