    Nothing.

    The barge was a great place to stay. Short walk from the railway station and easy access to the old town. The room wasn’t the biggest but ok for us. It was also very clean and in a quiet location.

    Quirky hotel with lovely view of canal, barges and countryside. Great location as near to station and town centre. The room was full of original fun features - the bath mat folded to look like a boat made us smile! Breakfast was good with fresh bread and range of meats, cheese and smoked salmon. We were able to leave our cases before checking in which was very convenient. The bar was open in the evening so nice to have a nightcap before retiring to our cabin. Highly recommended

    No coffee in room ! One day was fine as I could go down and get a coffee but second day, when all I wanted to do was chill in the room for an hour, I had to leave to hotel, so couldn’t take it back to my room

    Car parking space seems ok but as I travelled to Brugge by train; I cannot confirm this. Until end of 2024; There is no restaurant on Board and Breakfast is an extra 20 Euros.

    My room was very comfortable and warm. Hotel location is quiet as expected and less than 20mins walk to the center of Brugge. I recommend the nearby (3mins walk) yacht club Cafe (Bistro Flandria) for a relaxing drink and/or meal

    Couldn't find anything to complain about.

    The unique experience of staying on a barge was so welcome after the chaos of the prior few days in Paris. The cabin was very clean and cosy, we both slept like the proverbial log !. The staff were friendly and the breakfast buffet was just what was needed to start off a day of sightseeing. Would definitely stay again.

    Room not made up on second day. Restaurant not open one evening although we had been told it would be and so had to make alternative plans at the last minute. I gather a member of staff had not turned up for work. Limited parking, with a high charge in the hotel's small car park and nearest alternative 10 minutes walk away

    Very quiet and comfortable and we enjoyed the quirky atmosphere of a floating hotel. Excellent breakfast

    Could be awkward if you forget to book your breakfast. Double bed was two singles put together, did feel a bit lumpy.

    The room (cabin) was as adevertised and as I work on ships I liked it. The location was great for city centre, 15 min walk, and this was close to station, if needed, parking, if needed, and close to restaurants. You have to make sure you talk to staff about food if you want it as it is a small hotel and doesn't have a large restaurant so food is not readily available. Shower was ok the presure was a little low but it was manageable. Over all we loved the place.

    The only issue is that the decor is dated. And the beds are very narrow (we were in single beds) and there was a classic "boat smell'. But you get over that pretty swiftly

    The place was close to town and the breakfast was very good.

    The layout of the bathroom could have been better. Admittedly there isn’t much space on a barge, but the toilet was too close to the door.

    Quirky and comfortable place to stay. Close to station. Very quiet. Room was cosy and we had a great view of the canal. Lovely staff. Great buffet breakfast with lots of hot and cold choices. We had an excellent evening meal on the first night too. Would be nice to go back in warmer weather and take advantage of the outdoor terrace.

    Dinner menu could be a pitched at a more simple level which might attract more diners. If you want a kettle it pays to order in advance, we left it till arrival which was too late.
