The historic ambience had a mellow touch and the service staff was incredibly helpful. Parking was secured, at a cost, but if was near. Breakfast was filling!

Ed, United States of America

Beautiful old building in a quiet neighbourhood away from the hustle and bustle, but very close to public transport and an easy walk into town. The lady who checked us in went out of her way to make sure everything was in order for us. She also gave us some information about Gent which was helpful. We felt very welcome and the little welcome drink and snack were a nice touch. We were also able to park our bikes safely for free. Our room was a double room on the third floor. The size of the room and bathroom were good and I enjoyed the morning light in the room. The bed was a good size and comfortable. There was also a nice sized bathtub, perfect to unwind in. We had breakfast in the hotel on one of the mornings and it was fresh and sizeable. I really liked the midday checkout.

Amanda, South Africa

Lovely building, with lots of charm. Spacious rooms. And a generous breakfast with a variety of choices from eggs to fresh fruit & baked goods!

Christina, United States of America

It's a beautiful building, next to the city center. The staff are super nice and they received us with a free drink which is always nice after a day of travelling. It's a quiet neighbourghood.

The hotel is like taking a step back in time in the most wonderful way. The room I stayed in was spacious and clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The location was great for me as I had to be about a 20 minute drive out of the city for work but it was only a 10 minute walk into the city center. The staff was lovely and very helpful and gave a lot of tips and information on what to do and where to eat and drink in the city. The breakfast was simple but yummy.

Inez, Netherlands

A beautiful historic building with elegant rooms including the breakfast room. A 10 minute walk to the Cathedral. The breakfast was delicious..

A hotel full of character. The room was large with a magnificent king-sized bed topped by a wall canopy. The all-inclusive breakfast was wonderful.

It was a little further from the city center that I thought but only a 20min walk, so manageable, And the bathroom was a little small, but still cozy.
The place is amazing, the rooms are super cozy with an incredible old style decor. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, and staff super nice and helpful. The mattress and pillows were really comfortable. Really had a great time at the establishment.

I arrived at 8.00pm, and being met with a door that is closed/looked when you first arrive at a hotel is not an ideal start.
Breakfast was really good buffet, staff really friendly and helpful. This hotel has significant character, which was great but not for everyone.

What a lovely building! We had a real surprise when we approached this terrace building and the doors opened to quite a grand entrance. It’s a little tired in places but the owners have kept all original features and the charm of the place is lovely ....a little gem ...also has a fitness centre below in the cellar and a sauna and sunbed (not yet up and running but will be a real feature)

It felt like everything could break easily. We were even afraid to open the closet. And you’re obliged to give 50 eur deposit to guarantee that you won’t break anything. Heating is noisy. Lack of power sockets.
clean room, vintage furniture. Bed is very comfortable. Kettle, tea and coffee are provided free of charge. I liked wooden floors (squeaking didn’t bother me) Breakfast is nice.

The building is historical and protected so there is no lift. I have mild physical impairment which makes stairs a struggle, but I loved the venue anyway.
Bed was comfy, room was large and not too hot. Loved the antique furniture and the Louis XV and Art Nouveau styling. Breakfast was delightful, with ample choice in the pleasant dining room. We were welcomed with a cup of tea in front of the open fire in the foyer. Very pleasant introduction to the venue. The light rail stop was only 2 minutes walk and its a 10 minute ride into the city with restaurants, cafes and lovely shops.
