I have just returned from a short stay at De Barge. I wanted a romantic trip to treat my boyfriend and this seemed like a really unique stay - what better place to sleep in the 'venice of the north, than on a boat). Situated on the outskirts of the city centre, it is a short walk through pretty parkland... more

If looking for a bit of a change this is an ideal experience. Location is 10 mins walk from rail station and the same to the centre of bruges and the coach park opposite does not affect your stay at all. Hotel is not luxury but offers a fun experience in a clean and clever presented cabin. Breakfast was ok... more

We loved this hotel, the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was lovely waking up to the sound of ducks every morning. The location was excellent just a 10 min stroll through the park to the centre of brugge. Room was well equipped and clean all english chanells on the television. The only downside we found was the selection... more

A unique breath of fresh air! Ahoy! Yes it is edge of centre and not in the centre BUT the centre can be reached by walking through Miniwater Park and there are lots of excellent bars and restaurants nearby. This is realistically as near to the centre as a vessel of this size can be moored. It is also a... more

This hotel wasn't horrible, but it isn't a 3 star hotel. The beds aren't any better than a thin futon. I wouldn't stay here again and I can't imagine paying more than $100 a night for the place. It isn't far from the center of town but everything is a walk, and finding the place requires a little looking. If... more

considering that i was with a group of young adults away from home with peers for 6 weeks enjoying the best of europe, we had a great time at hotel de barge. sadly only a small cohort of our group had the honore of staying here. the rest stayed at a 5 star luxury hotel with a lovely odor. so... more

This was one of the best trips I have ever had. My boyfriend and I stayed overnight here at the weekend. We were lucky enough to get the 'officers cabin' which had lovely views over the canal and a very comfy bed. All the staff were helpful and welcoming. The breads at breakfast was delicious. The dinner we had was... more

My husband and I (along with another middle-aged couple) spent 3 nights at this wonderful facility. We chose it based on its location - a short walk from the train station and Bruges's town center. The hotel is not really a hotel in the sense that most Americans would envision. De Barge is not a large, sterile, corporate-run glass and... more

Stayed here for 3 nights (3 for 2 deal) mid-week and have nothing but praise for De Barge. The hotel is not in Bruges itself, but a leisurely stroll through 'lovers park' gets you there in minutes. Top Tip: When leaving the train station, do not cross the main road, but turn right before the pedestrian lights, continue to follow... more
