What a beautiful hotel. We stayed in room 12 which is huge and in the main hotel. The room has tall ceilings and beautifully decorated. It has a nice view of the Castle of the Counts from the windows. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean and more importantly it was very quiet too. We don’t have breakfast but we did enjoy sitting in the bar area which also was very lovely. The reception staff guy was very helpful and friendly. And he gave us good recommendations for places to eat etc. We didn’t ask his name but he was from Georgia. A very nice professional guy.

Location is great, near the castle and lots of tourists spots. Room is a bit small for two but not a big thing. Room is clean. Nice staffs.

I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel. This hotel is GREAT! Location was amazing. My room was perfect. Very Clean, nice closet space, and big bathroom. I got a 2nd floor Superior room and it was huge. King bed and seating area. It overlooked the street but it was quiet. The Air Conditioning worked amazingly well in the middle of the heat wave. Cute shops and restaurants on the street. Turn the corner and there's a CASTLE! Working elevator to get luggage upstairs. Beautiful grand staircase down to the lobby. They hotel was great about checking in and providing information via WhatsApp text.

We stayed on the top floor of the second building which got very hot for my tastes but the windows are easy to open and it cooled off quick. The room was very cute and it's unique design added lots of charm. The close location to castle gravensteen was awesome and there are plenty of shops, restaurants, and attractions within walking distance some of which you don't even need to get to the next road over! We got here from a combination of train station to tram stop with short <10 min walks in between while carrying our luggage and a baby

We enjoyed our 1-night stay at Hotel Gravensteen. It is very well situated for visiting the old town. Our room looked over the courtyard and was very quiet. We found the staff very helpful.

Excellent stay! I requested a courtyard room so it nice and quiet at night. We slept great. Room, bed, pillows all comfy. Separate toilet (with fan) from shower/sink; spacious and very clean. Kettle & espresso machine in the room. Excellent breakfast included.friendly staff. Terrific location. Beautiful old hotel. Reasonable price. We will definitely stay here when in Ghent!!

Nice hotel, nice old facade, cool interior with a bar and a small outside area. Nice original interior decor with many original features. Rooms are paired down but tastefully decorated. All have air-conditioning. There are lifts to all floor. Helpful reception staff. Breakfast if you choose it, is a typical continental one with a good selection of breads and pastries, good coffee and freshly squeezed juices. The breakfast room is adjacent to the main hotel. One mistake we made was on arrival at Gent Sint Pieters to walk to the hotel, don't!! It's 3.5km, pretty flat but negotiating road works and renovations to the station was a nightmare. Get a tram or an Uber. We were like two sweaty blobs when we arrived at the hotel. Probably an underestimated hotel but it is ideally located for all Ghent has to offer and the hotel is quiet. Would I recommend it and stay again? Certainly.

This used to be a mansion we were told by staff. Brilliant location. Room was very stuff and had flies in but over all clean. Check your room door when leaving. Ours didnt always lock once shut so we had to keep re-carsing from inside the room before we left for it to register to lock behind us. The room we had was situated over the car park, so no nice views. And loud delivery people early in the morning along with workmen woke us up. Slamming of other peoples doors was also another thing to make you jump! Having said that, the location is perfect. Not a lot of parking, plus a very confusing way to get to the carpark due to one way roads. Lots of little shops. Not all were open on a Monday. Tuesday was a busier day around town. You also have your usual shops about like primark etc. Loads of places to eat.
