Guesthouse PoortAckere  

La gracia de que sea un monasterio. La capilla es fantástica y el comedor muy bonito. Las habitaciones no están al nivel del edificio, aunque son calentitas y espaciosas.

Estar en un monasterio tiene su encanto. La ubicación es perfecta, a dos pasos del puente San Miguel.

Repito; es un monasterio: los suelos crujen, el wc está en el pasillo, no está insonorizado, los suelos son de moqueta. Por el precio que tiene, qué más quiero...

El lugar, el edificio. El personal muy amable.

Las habitaciones son anticuadas, excesivamente austeras y los servicos (toilette y Ducha) estan a desmano. Ademas no tiene ni telefono , ni tv en la habitación.

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.

The chapel.

No hot water in room. Very difficult to shave as shower had no mirror. I hade to boil watewr in a kettle and shave from it as sink didnt have a plug.no doubt the nuns didnt have this problem.

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.

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.
