Brasserie wasn’t open and no on site facilities to make tea coffee water or breakfast. Room was hot and stuffy unable to open the windows. Also be warned the bathroom has no door and has a glass window so very little privacy!

ahoi Bradley, all the remarks you write are correct. However, all this is clearly mentioned before you book, and are repeated upon reconfirmation of your reservation... that is, if you read it! Every room has an aircondiotioner, and even though check-in on weekends are done "from a distance" I was there to meet and greet you, and explain amongst them others, about the airco... I went to the parkingmeter to help you with the instructions in Dutch (even though instructions in English are available), gave you tips on what to do in town... and where to eat...

Great and different place to stay
I really like to stay at this boat hotel. It's been my second time.The atmosphere is great and unique. It rocks a little bit when other boats pass by but, hey, life is not perfect and after a while I got used to it. The bar and restaurant upstairs are welcoming and the food is good. Every time I go I meet nice interesting people!

Bootel Ahoi 16/03/2017
The only way to describe this place is unique. Don't bother going to a stuffy normal hotel, stay on a barge for the night. The bar upstairs is well stocked and there are various types of places to eat within 300 metres. The rooms have ensuite shower/sink/toilet and the view out of the windows makes you the animal in the zoo as the local wildlife looks in thro the window on a morning. The host Stefan is a joy to be with. Next time I am in the area I will not hesitate to book a room (cabin)

The Bootel Ahoi is a small-ish ship that is docked along the non-shipping channel of the Leie River. The rooms are river view, and by that I mean the river is at the bottom of your window! My room was clean, comfortable but basic, and a little stuffy -- the fan helped but not a place you open your windows for fresh air. There is a happy hour bar on the top deck that is relaxing and you are not that far from the city center. I think they have done a good job in making it a unique place to stay. Kortrijk is a city experiencing much growth and revitalization.

A Unique Experience
The overwhelming reason for staying here is the experience of spending the night on a boat. Having said that, the boat and the rooms are very clean. Staff is friendly, the deck sitting area and it's bar are very relaxing.

Exceptionally clean hotel, close to town centre
Excellent hotel, very difficult to believe that it has been open for five years every where was spotlessly clean and the décor in excellent condition. We had the grand cabin that was large and spacious, only downside was that the window could not be opened to allow fresh air into the room. Beds were very comfortable but the nights sleep was disturbed by the loud knocking and groaning created by the boats movement caused by the waves from passing large boats. Breakfast rather expensive (€9.90) for what is offered. Overall a very good place to stay.

Good for the price!
Stayed here at 2 different times on a bike trip through Belgium. Can't beat the price. The service was really good for breakfast and the chef/server is super nice. Only complaints were that our room smelled a little too strongly of cleaning spray when we arrived. It wasn't a great night's sleep as the boat shifts when people are getting on/off it and this kind of shook my bed. Also was a bit noisy even after 10pm. There isn't a door to the toilet area so make sure you know you are really comfortable with your roommate's bathroom habits.

Very Clean and Unique Hotel
This is a great hotel, situated in a short walk to the town centre. It is very clean and well kept and is very unique being in a boat. If there were any downsides to staying here they are caused by the upside - that is because it is a boat. The first is the fact you cannot open the window, and hence the rooms can get hot (a fan is provided) and the second is because you are in a metal boat you can hear people walking around in the restaurant / bar above. Neither of these issues spoilt our stay and we would certainly return.

Response from owner "captain" on Aug 28, 2023
very weird... anonymous... all rooms are on the lower level... with all rooms with direct view over the river, the rooms are half in half above the water... in all descriptions is mentioned that the windows cannot open... if this would be the case water from passing boats would enter the room... everywhere we describe the size of the rooms (which are ca. 9 m²)... all guests are personally guided to the room and are explained how the AC works... every room has its own AC unit... (exeption weekendcheck-ins... therefore we have in-room explanation of how to operate the AC)... it is very sad to review anonymously... complain when you are on the spot and not afterwards where we vcannot help anymore...

mal was ganz Anderes
sehr herzlicher Empfang durch den "Kapitän" und Einweisung in die Besonderheiten an Bord, kleines Zimmer, zweckmäßig, leider kein Fenster zum Öffnen da direkt über der Wasserlinie, im Sommer oder nach dem Duschen wird es sehr warm bzw. feucht, dafür gibt es dann ein Klimagerät, wobei der Abluftschlauch aber durch die offene Türe geführt werden muss. Frühstück entweder klein (Baguette, Croissant, Butter, Marmelade, Kaffee/Tee) oder groß (nicht ausprobiert). Lage direkt an der Altstadt, herrlich zum Bummeln und Essen gehen (oder an Bord essen)

Fun mais propreté du lit à revoir
Un propritétaire vraiment sympathique, un bon restaurant pour le soir et un petit déjeuner avec du choix et pas si cher que ça (plusieurs formules disponibles). Par contre, le drap du dessous dans le lit etait taché de façon suspecte à plusieurs endroits donc j'ai du dormir recroquevillé dans un coin du lit. C'est plutot fun de dormir dans un bateau et ça ne bouge pas trop sauf quand des bateaux passent aux alentours.

Séjour au top.
Ravis de notre séjour ! Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par le gérant, et nous avons beaucoup aimé séjourner dans cet hôtel atypique. La péniche est parfois légèrement secouée par le passage des bateaux, mais cela ne nous a pas gêné outre mesure. On a pas testé le petit-déjeuner... l’hotel est proche du centre, il y a pas mal de restaurants et de bars sympas à proximité... bon plan pour un week-end à deux.
