Loved Ghent.

  • I asked for an earlier check in and was told they could only guarantee if I paid an additional 75 euro for an extra 3 hrs. I thought that was very poor. Also no mention when I was booking that the bathroom was upstairs. Thankfully the toilet was downstairs.

  • Rooms facing the bridge need to be triple glazed as music from the wonderful Irish bar could be heard , however never later than 11pm . Also the blinds allow some early morning sun in

The perfect stay in Ghent!

This was the best hotel experience we have had. It felt luxury from the moment we checked in. The staff could not do enough to help us. The location and beautiful building were fabulous. The comfort and amenities massively exceed our expectations - from lovely cocktails in the room through to the comfortable furnishing, robes and slippers. We loved the bar, too! Exceptional customer service and we cannot wait to return!

The 2-meter-tall girl gave me a wonderfully warm room tour and shared boat trip info that turned out to be very helpful. The girl from Thailand made me a customized breakfast blending European and Asian styles — honestly the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. The décor throughout the hotel and room is truly amazing. I'd definitely choose this hotel again if I have the chance to visit Ghent in the future.
