    Wonderful time in Ghent. I would choose Edgar Guest House if we ever return.

    Instructions on using the air conditioner could be better. Couldn't get it to work properly, but the staff refunded a portion of our room fee which was a huge surprise and greatly appreciated.

    We did not order the breakfast so we cannot comment on that, but the location was excellent. Within walking distance to what we wanted to see.

    I appreciated everything about my two-night stay at Edgar Guesthouse, and will most certainly return when I am in Gent again. The room was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. The refined and minimalist style, beautiful wooden furniture, and natural-toned textiles (and fine quality bedsheets, etc) give one a feeling of mental calm (and of being on holiday). Their restaurant around the corner, Edgar kaasbar, has a lovely selection of food and drinks. And I would recommend the Edgar’s breakfast basket. Also, the location is perfect! Very near to the Gent-Dampoort station and you can walk to everything from the guesthouse. Tip-top!

    My room was on the 4th floor and it was a walk-up; I had a very heavy suitcase and it was difficult to manage. Wish I got a heads up about this in advance. There was also no fitness center as it was a house; wish I had known that as I packed workout clothing.

    Excellent location in the middle of everything. Exceptionally walkable, great amenities and excellent recommendations for local spots from the owners.

    Overall a good experience and I would be happy to recommend to others seeking a stay in Ghent.

    The room is a little small for the price. Yet I traveled during a popular tourist season so it could be that the price was in line with other accomodations for the time of year.

    I think the location overall was good. It is a five minute walk from the historic sites. It is also within a 15 minute walk to Gent Dampoort Train Station. It is far from the main train station but so is are the main sites anyway. The room was comfortable and air conditioned and the management was very responsive. This is a guesthouse as opposed to a hotel, which I have never experienced before, but was overall pleased with the experience.

    The single beds could not be placed next to each other due to their design (as opposed to shown in the pictures) and that was a bit awkward since I was traveling with my husband.

    Hopefully there has been some bigger pillows added, which would make the bedding perfection as the bed itself was super comfortable.

    Very clean and modern. Good location. Met the owners at check out and they very kindly let us keep our bag at their restaurant downstairs for the day.

    Unfortunately, we both found the pillows quite uncomfortable, which did make it harder to sleep. Also, people who book the twin room should be aware that it's on the ground floor, so you can hear whenever any of the other guests come in or out, or walk up and down the stairs. You can also hear the noise from the street, but since the street is fairly quiet, this wasn't too much of a problem. I imagine the noise would be absolutely fine if you're staying in a room on one of the higher floors!

    The room was very beautifully decorated: simple and clean. The shower also had great pressure and there was also a hand-held spray, which was nice to have. The fact that there is a separate toilet and shower room meant it was also easy to get ready in the mornings without our schedules clashing too much! The location was also good: it was about a 10 minute walk from the very central parts of Ghent and 15 minute walk (with suitcases) from the Gent-Dampoort train station. It was down a side street, so not very loud or busy at night, but easy to walk anywhere you needed to go. There's also a small coffee machine and free water if you need some refreshments in the evening. The cleaner was good, and even folded my pyjamas for me when making the bed! The check-in process is so easy. You get sent a code that opens the front door and the room door, so you can go in and out as you please while feeling secure, but can text the hosts at any point if you have any problems. The hosts were incredibly helpful and let us leave our suitcases at their restaurant after we checked out so we didn't have to carry them around the city centre!

    Beautifully renovated room in townhouse in old part of town. Easy access to parks, canals, sights and loads of places to eat. The owners were extremely friendly - I was cycle touring in 30+ degree heat and they gave me a bottle of water from the restaurant fridge when I arrived, which was much appreciated! Also let me store my bike in their garage.
