The bath, nowhere to hang up the showerhead and no shower curtain. It was a bit of a death trap when everything around inevitably got wet.

The historic building

Stayed in May 2024

Because the streets are cobbled, any traffic outside can't help making a noise. It's on a quiet street, but still you could hear deliveries at 6am.

It is like staying in a stately home - there is so much space, and beautiful antique furniture. Even a suit of armour in the dining room! The bed was big and comfortable, and the breakfast was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. It's just a short walk from the centre of town, and not far from a tram stop if you want to travel further.

only one tiny thing - a screen on the bath would have stopped the shower making the floor wet.

Great location, super sized room with sitting area and comfy bed. Lovely eclectic range of furniture and ornaments which made this hotel special. The breakfast was very good with eggs cooked to order - fantastic scrambled eggs, as well as fresh croissants and bread.

We got an upgrade but got two twin beds instead of a queen. Also, my girlfriend didn't like the outside of the hotel. I told her it's in a 16th century building but she had to get inside before she warmed to the place.

Breakfast was one of the best we've had and the elegant dining room and suit of armor made us feel like we were back in the Middle Ages.

Showers are not so good

Breakfast was OK, location very good and staff also very friendly.

As this is an older hotel, there is no elevator so for the oldies under us the steps were hard work.

Rooms were clean, very friendly staff. Parking nearby available

No hook for shower so difficult to take shower. Exterior might be a let down but interior is fabulous

Excelent location. Lovely gentleman on reception and serving breakfast which was excellent. Very clean

There is a faint musty smell when walking into the room, most probably due to the old carpet. However, this quickly goes away after aerating the room for a few minutes.

The hotel is an authentic vintage building with a charming dining hall with view on a garden with a hedge maze. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I was very luck to be in a quiet room on 2nd floor with view on the garden.

Nothing. (Though it wouldn't suit everyone as there's no lift.)

Excellent location, really old and quirky hotel full of character, comfy and warm, good buffet breakfast, and very nice staff.

There was a sewer odour in the bathroom

It's a hotel in a very old building, so you should be ready for it. Small rooms, squeaky stairs, old furniture. It's really atmospheric, and you should stay here, just to get a taste of it. I wouldn't recommend it for a business trip though, it's really for tourism. The staff is very friendly and the dining room is just pictorial.

I don’t believe that there is a lift and the stairs to the fourth floor are wooden so we had to tread quietly returning late at night. Carrying the suitcase up was a good workout. This is a nice hotel in an older building. If I wanted characterless, modern, 21st Century accommodation then I would have stayed in a Marriott or Hilton.

The hotel is a unique historical house conversion with authentic old antiques and decor. Great location 3 minutes from the main central area and Sint-Michiels Parking 🅿️ which we used for the car. (Remember to pre-register your car with the Ghent ULEZ vehicle emissions registry to enter the city.) We asked for, and had two twin rooms with single beds. These rooms were nice and located on the top floor with pitched ceilings and exposed beams. The breakfast room was indeed grand and had a very good spread of morning fare. Staff fantastic, accommodating and helpful. There is a small urban supermarket next door that closes about 8pm.

Shower/bath combo

Characterful building and room in a great location. Freshly cooked eggs in addition to usual continental breakfast,

Room is super simple. And now why only 7 points for a hotel with a feeling of the castle in the city center? It's breakfast. Selection is minor. You can ask for scrumble or boiled egg, but that small portion is all you can get as a warm food. Without any vegetables. The bread feels like of a type, which requires few minutes in the oven before serving. And coffie machine for only instant coffie. I wish the owner invest some love and few euro for breakfast. Then the rating would be close to 10 even with a bit "tired" rooms

Location is very good for tourists. Nice old styling. For some this can be disadvantage. For me - it's exclusive. Very old building with a feeling of the castle. Breakfast room is impressive.

not the fault of the hotel, but the public transport in Gent was not great at the time I was there, with trams re-routed, a difficult journey to the station.

The staff were friendly. It was very comfortable Having been to Gent a few times before, this hotel was well priced, (though I guess it may be different in Summer) Hotel was very well located. but..

Road/walking directions were created without tourists in mind. As a non-Flemish visitor making our way around town was not as easy as we might have expected. The hotel staff was very helpful but once outside things were more difficult.

Ambience. Helpful, pleasant staff. Most unusual decorative style. Proximity of public carpark. Short walk to city centre.

No hot water after shower.... Probably boiler got empty. Bathroom renewed and clean.

Need a lift

nice hosting

Stayed in January 2024

The lack of lift and bar was a slight issue. And the public car park was slightly inconvenient.

A great 400 year old building, we really liked it. Owner/Manager was exceptional. It's is not a modern premier inn, so don't expect a box room with no character. Sure there is no bar, and the bathroom is basic, and not everything is shiny and new. There is no lift......but the place is in an excellent position, and full of character. Would I stay here again....in a heatbeat.
