WE loved the friendly staff and the quaintness of the place. Ghent and The post were the favorite part of my trip. I would certainly come back to visit and stay at this establishment.
United States of AmericaAmazing building, beautiful and stylish rooms, perfect location!
United States of AmericaStyle and attention to detail and quality of staff.
United States of AmericaEverything else! Staying at The Post feels like living an episode of Harry Potter!
Saudi ArabiaThe staff at the Cobbler during the night time was not accessible and at times dismissive, this is regretful considering that any other staff member we ran into in other areas of the hotel and reception were outstanding.
United States of AmericaThe staff is really helpful and the location is perfect! Also the hotel building is very special
BrazilGreat location and amazing hotel. One of the most beautiful and unique hotels I have ever stayed in. The honesty room was a cute touch
United States of AmericaBreakfast was very good. The lady at the front desk on our second day was superb. She arranged for us to move to another room which was a big improvement. The location is excellent. Gent is a very nice city.
United States of AmericaStunningly beautiful hotel and location right in the heart of old Ghent. Hotel was once a post office but looks more like it was once a castle. Yet all the modern updates we enjoy, including a gorgeous shower, flat screen tv, perfect wifi and an elevator. Wish we could have stayed at least 3 nights to take in more of the hotel and the town. Next visit we will.
CanadaThis place is a picturesque and adorable as the City of Ghent. Very charming with a view right on to the main square. some steps involved, e.g. bedroom upstairs and bathroom down a level. Sit in their bar with a view of the river and the much photographed stone bridges. You are right in the center of the city and can start your self walk tours from here. exceeded our expectations.
