Great location, quirky decor, decent breakfast
The room was quite narrow and tight, no space to move around; breakfast expensive for what it was
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026
Really cool set up, barge is on working canal so you get the full-on experience of Bruges. Very close to the city center, about 15-20min walk, very convenient. Staff was very friendly & eager to help.
A bit worn out, but property was neat & clean.

Perfect location and very friendly staff. The beds were very comfortable. Really liked the honesty bar as well, it felt like a very welcoming and friendly place.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2026
I have stayed at this hotel before, and stayed there again because it's a convenient location and reasonably affordable. Staying in a boat on a canal is appealing, the hotel has its charm, and the location is peaceful and quiet. The room was decently sized and comfortable. While the reception isn't staffed at all times, the staff were able to accommodate me arriving later than expected. When I had a problem with my room, the staff dealt with it and fixed it quickly.
The barge is old, and parts of the rooms are clearly in need of repair and cleaning. There are shelves that are not securely attached, and the door came off the shower while I was using it. My room had a dusty storage cupboard which had probably not been cleaned for some time. The lighting is somewhat limited, and does not work quite as expected.
Most concerningly, friends staying at the same time (though not me) found bed bugs in their rooms, which suggests that standards of hygiene are not being properly maintained.
