Boat Hotel De Barge - A floating 3-star hotel on the Bruges-Ghent Canal with nautical-themed cabins and regional dining

Boat Hotel De Barge floats on the Bruges-Ghent Canal, 600 meters from Bruges Railway Station and a 10-minute walk from the city center. The non-smoking cabins feature nautical decor with blue accents; options include standard Cruise Cabins with garden or canal views and the larger Officer's Cabin or Superior Captain's Cabin in the bow, some with spa baths. Restaurant The Captains Table serves regional dishes like Flemish beef stew and fresh lobster, alongside a selection of local beers and wines, with quick lunches available Wednesday through Sunday. A sun terrace overlooks the river, and nearby landmarks include The Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaarde (0.5 km) and the Belfry of Bruges (1 km). Breakfast includes fresh breads, juices, and fruits.

Pros

Unique and Convenient Stay

easy access cheerful staff good view

The location was superb. It allowed easy access to the city center with a short walk. i found the staff particularly cheerful and always ready to assist with any questions. i enjoyed breakfast. It had many options and a good view from the barge.

I noticed the room lacked soundproofing. I could clearly hear noises from adjacent rooms, including conversations. This proved disruptive at times and reduced my overall sense of privacy
