The stay was simply wonderful! The building itself is truly impressive – from the very first moment, we felt not like we were in a hotel, but rather as if we were visiting someone’s home. The interior is absolutely breathtaking. We are sincerely grateful for such a special experience and the warm welcome. Breakfast and the time spent in the beautiful garden will stay with us for a long time. This was not just an overnight stay, but a true experience of art, style, and elegance.

Great hosts, well educated with passion for art and decoration. Elegant design and high quality aesthetic. Attention to detail, indescribable taste for textures, material combinations, skilful interior and exterior design. This place offered me and my partner an experience of peace, resourcefulness and art. It brings vibes from a Mediterranean mansion. It felt like exploring an art museum during spring. Lovely and hospitable people. We are looking forward for the next opportunity to visit this beautiful place.

My husband and I stayed at the Verhaegen at the beginning of December for 4 nights and absolutely loved our stay. The Verhaegen is very well located, just a short walk to the tram for central station and a short walk into the centre of town. The property itself and gardens are absolutely beautiful, as was our room, we couldn’t have been more thrilled with our cosy room choice. The attention to detail in this place is simply second to none, from the beautiful decor, lighting and furnishings. A highlight was having a candle lit breakfast in the stunning dining room, the linens, tablewear, it was truly special. It was a real pleasure to stay in this beautiful 17th century property in the heart of Ghent and learn about it’s history, it really felt like a meaningful and authentic experience. We will certainly be back again! Thank you Marc & Jan

Booked two nights here, couldn't come due to a serious family illness. Asked politely — multiple times — if we could simply move the reservation to another date. I even offered to pay €400 extra. The response? First suggestion was to find someone else to fill our spot. Then, after I sent a clear follow-up question, the owner replied: "What is your question?" Apparently reading back one message was too much to ask. The only offer on the table: pay again at a 'special rate.' So in practice: pay twice, or lose everything. I get that policies are policies. But this B&B positions itself as a warm, personal alternative to big hotel chains. Based on this experience, that's just marketing. When things get difficult, the warmth disappears fast. Save your money for somewhere that actually values its guests.

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful building and furnishings, loved the atmosphere and hosts Jan & Marc were very welcoming, only stayed for 1 night but would loved to have stayed longer. Breakfast was my favourite, in a stunning room and able to read books about the history of the hotel! Loved it!

Response from the property

Dear Niki, Thank you so much for the nice review. We are very happy you had a nice stay and hope to have the pleasure to welcome you some time back. Warm regards, Jan, Marc & Tomba

My husband, his parents and I stayed here last night in two of their suites and it was incredible! The building was stunning and every room, the breakfast room and even the hallways were decorated so well with countless beautiful details. The interior was truly amazing with art pieces that look like they are from a museum. The service was great too, the owners were welcoming and friendly. Some other details I want to mention are the great water pressure in the bathroom, great espresso machines in our rooms and a beautiful well kept garden that looks like it belongs to a castle! If you want to experience feeling like royalty you should add the breakfast. Thank you so much for making our time so memorable, we truly enjoyed it.

There are hotels/ BnBs, and then there is the Verhaegen! It doesn't just offer you a comfortable place to stay, but a piece of Ghent's history. An experience in itself, this place is undoubtedly one of the most unique accommodations. Housed in a well preserved 17th century mansion, the interiors exude panache and are tastefully decorated to reflect the same. The owners, interior designers by craft, have done a great job in this regard. The service is pleasant and personal, with Jan & Marc offering valuable suggestions on discovering Ghent. Breakfast in the beautiful dining hall (probably the most beautiful part of the property) is something not to be missed. There is a lovely garden, which is impeccably maintained. In short, it's like experiencing a different era on a short time-machine trip. To anyone thinking about staying at the Verhaegen, please do without a second thought!! You will not regret it. PS: There is also a lovely canine, adding to the charm of the property!
