TOO FAR FROM THE MARKETPLACE
Though it was quaint, if you want to explore and walk it is for you. Not in the heart of Brugges. Though it was booked for 2, it was big enough for one; cabin was too small. The kitchen closed 10 pm and all day Wed. The front desk closed at 7 pm. Luckily for the deal or I wouldn’t have stayed there.
Traveller's tip on local attractions
Brugges is a small village that is walker friendly. I was a single woman and I felt safe. Get there early because the shops are closed by 1830; food is still available in the square.

Novel and original style accomodation
The Hotel De Barge much surpassed my expectations as a reasonable cost Hotel. The room maximised the space to make it cosy but spacious with an original nautical theme. The bathroom was small but practical and the bedroom comfortable and all necessary requirements for a short break in the City The rooms were so private I felt like I was the only person there when in fact it wes fully booked .I was surprised at the quality of the breakfast included and the restaurant had great views over the canal,I really felt like I was on a cruise! Also a great location within short walking distance of the city and railway station.I will definately stay there again and recommend it ti my friends!
For practical reasons- perfect location,close to railway station and a pleasant walk to the most interesting sites,restaurants shops etc but without the feeling that you are staying in a City Centre Hotel

Very enjoyable stay
Although the external appearance initially concerned my wife (it is after all a barge) internally this is a nice hotel. Room was clean and although not large perfectly adequate. After trying the hotel restaurant on our first night we didn’t bother looking elsewhere (apart from Wednesday when it is shut). Breakfast is excellent in quality, quantity and range and dinner was very good too. It is a short walk from the centre but taking the route through Minnewater is very pleasant. Staff very all very helpful and spoke good English.
Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Eating out is not cheap in Bruges but the portions can be huge. Take the discount card issued at the hotel reception everywhere with you as lost of places offer reductions. Also the Belgians still have some establishments that allow smoking inside which appeared strange to our eyes.
