Lovely, centrally located hotel in a beautiful historic building in the very centre of Ghent. The hotel is well furnished in a style complimenting its age, the breakfast was very nice and bedroom, although on the small side was well appointed. the staff were very professional, helpful and pleasant, I would happily return and recommend it to any future guests.

The hotel was very cool but we got there around 1PM and they told us check in was at 4 which we already knew but after checking a couple times before 4 they kept telling us it wasn’t going to be ready until 4…you’d think they’d be a bit more accommodating…at exactly 4 they told us our room was ready.
