Very close to the centre (a couple of minutes walk). Room was clean and well furnished as well as air conditioned. The staff were helpful in answering questions and were happy to store bags on the day if checkout. Breakfast was a mixture of continental and some cooked items (bacon, eggs and beans) and was very enjoyable. Travel to the hotel from the station was easy via tram and a short walk. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice and hassle free place to stay in Ghent.

If you're looking for a well-located hotel in the heart of Ghent, close to all major attractions and reasonably priced, this is a great choice. The rooms are nicely furnished, and the spacious bathroom with a tub was a pleasant surprise. The only downside was the creaky feel of the fake flooring, which could be a bit unsettling. Otherwise, a comfortable and convenient stay!

Response from the property

Thanks for your lovely comments...the floors, as is the rest of the building dates back 400 years

Easy friendly check in, excellent location. There were used towels in our room and the room was very hot. No slippers or other toiletries except soap. Besides that no problems and I would recommend this hotel for a a short stay.

Airco was broken in the suite which we unfortunately only discovered when arriving after our restaurant visit. We had to, "attempt" to sleep in a 27 degree room, on a way too hard bed. We only stayed for one night. When mentioning the issues at checkout they kind of shrugged it off. Said sorry and that's it. We paid for a certain level of quality and didn't get it at all. They could have AT LEAST compensated part of the stay

I had to contact the hotel several times today because I kept changing the bookings (for 3 rooms) and Max (the person I spoke with at the hotel) was extremely patient and very helpful with everything. With this level of customer service, I am very confident that we will have a very pleasant stay at the hotel!

I reserved a room in hotel with 2 months before. We pay reservation. One week before the period, they inform me about the fact that the hotel is closed and offer me another hotel. Surprise - same period somebody staying in the hotel. Probably they done overbooking and consider if they lie they ca solve their problem. I will not recommend to anyone to go there.

Response from the property

Dear Adrian. We are sorry you feel this way, but if you passed in front of the hotel you would have seen was a construction site. The interior water, heating and airco pipes in the main building were being completely replaced, to improve the level of comfort we can offer our future customers. We offered you a great upgrade to one of our sister hotels. We are a family run business and do not run an overbooking programme like many chain hotels...I am sad to hear that you prefer to slander us than to check the facts.
