Guesthouse PoortAckere  

It's a charming place but needs renovation and maintenance. Seems rather abandoned. Having a parking on the site was a big plus.

The room was very basic. The shower cabin was clogged-up and lights were not working properly. Breakfast costs the same as a 5 stars Hotel ... but is not a 5 stars breakfast. I have to say I got disappointed with the general state of the building, specially the chapel. I was expecting more by seing the pictures on the internet. There was only one person at the reception and in the rush time of the check-out we had to wait a long time. I suggest you double check your invoice as to avoid a big confusion with the administration.

Location

It is too austere;it is till like the nunnery it once was and the atmosphere is funereal.

Its uniqueness.

Location is good. Not right in the town center, but a very easy walk. Wonderful historic site. Parking was only 10 euro and we were able to park before we checked in and were told we could leave the car for the rest of the day when we checked out. Breakfast add on was well worth it. Lovely dining room, decorated for Easter morning. Lots of chocolate Easter eggs and very good food.

Beds were slightly uncomfortable but no complaints, I would stay here again. Good value.

Historic building and location. Convenient to old city. Adequate amenities. Comfortable. Very reasonable. Quiet.

Close to city centre, friendly staff, spacious room

Basically I found the staff friendly and helpful. The price was fair I suppose, for the room that is. The breakfast however was overpriced!!

The uniqueness of the hotel. It was like staying in a monastery! Located a short walk from all the sights and not far from the station. Very friendly and helpful staff. The guest rooms are good for budget travellers.

Creaky floorboards in the room next door!

enviroment and services

This hotel is a former church and monastery, which gives a very special ambiance. Everything is clean and renovated. If you have to stay in Ghent for a business trip, or student conference, it is the perfect choice. They have also have meeting rooms or can organise events. There is free wifi, and in the bar you can connect even with a wire. Little pricey, but the breakfast (for 15 euro extra) is great.

Please, replace those old brown very dusty blankets with a regular blanket like in a real hotel. Whilst sleeping, they slide on the ground and you wake up cause you have cold. Those brown blankets are really a hell for people with asthma and sensitive for dust. Please remove those old brown blankets. This will be a reason to not come back in the future or at least check firstly if they still use those blankets.

Impressive building (used to be a monastery), good location, 10 minutes away from the Graslei and central Ghent. The room and the facilities were better than I expected for the price.

Squeaky floors! I could hear people walking around their rooms and the corridors all the time.

It was close to the city center, on the way between city center and Hotel you find very nice little stores and cafes. It was very close to the University , so that i could sleep a little longer before the presentations begann...This mistical atmosphere,dark and old, was very interesting...The staff was very friendly und helped me also in difficult situations(my lugagge was delayed,but i got toothbrush and paste!!!, very nice!)

You can hear very good what your neighboor does. The walls are too thin...
