This was a lovely hotel! The staff was very friendly and full of recommendations. Everything we wanted to see was within easy walking distance - it felt like we were in the center of everything. We enjoyed hot chocolate at the bar in the mornings and drinks there as a night cap. The beds were some of the comfiest we stayed in on our trip.

Simply gorgeous historic hotel in the heart of Ghent with the feel of a true boutique hotel. Wonderful cocktail bar in the evening though, sadly, no restaurant. Superlative staff at all levels from reception to housekeeping.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. We loved our room as well. From the recommendations of what to do and where to eat, to the kindness and hospitality during breakfast, we found everyone at the hotel to be simply fabulous
