“The hotel feels very Belgian and historical even as a new property. Decor is well appointed and spaces are cozy overall. The property and facilities left me wanting service that felt comparable. The location cannot be beat once you are settled in the hotel.”
“This hotel is like a dream! The location is right in central Ghent in a fantastic old building with so much charm it is impossible to describe. I felt like I was staying in something from a Harry Potter movie, and I mean that in the best possible way. I had a room that was spread onto two floors, the shower and sink were on the upper level and the bedroom and toilet were on the main floor. The windows overlooked the main square. The bed was unbelievably comfortable making for a perfect ending to this lovely stay in Ghent.”
“Very unique hotel. Cool decorations and the location is right in the center of the old town. The receptionist was very informative about not only Ghent, but other cities in Belgium. He gave us great advice. There is a cool "honesty" bar where you can pour yourself a whiskey. The kitchen / bar has an extremely cozy atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it if you are going on a romantic get-away in Ghent.”
