Donald United States of America

Everything works, the hotel is in a good location, friendly old-world ambience. A reasonably priced alternative.

Corwin United States of America

Excellent breakfast was served in the amazing hall full of history spirit. The hotel location is perfect, its 2 minutes from the center and at the same time on a quite street.

Marina Netherlands

Receptionist was super friendly and incredibly helpful. The building is gorgeous with a lot of historical details inside. The garden is beautiful. We had a beautiful view. Prices for the frigobar were super reasonable. Breakfast included in the price and delicious.

Inajá Netherlands

Perfect location mere minutes from the main attractions downtown, a gorgeous/historical home with an incredibly friendly staff.

Dylan United States of America

A very special experience the old house. On a great place, a few minutes far from sights. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Forgabi Hungary

the location of the hotel was central, it was clean, quiet

Ülkü Turkey

The hotel is in an excellent location, staff extremely helpful, very clean, the building is old and furnished to match the character so if you want modern don't book. Breakfast a typical continental buffet with the offer of cooked eggs, everything was replenished without having to ask. The stairs are a challenge but add to the character. Everything was spotless. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Thoroughly recommend as an affordable hotel in a great location.

Helen United Kingdom

A lovely old house, full of character, furnished individually and in keeping with its character - antiques, paintings and even a small collection of Erasmus' writings. A short walk to the medieval centre. Excellent breakfasts and friendly staff.

Tony United Kingdom

The lady at the reception was so friendly and welcoming. Excellent location. Comfortable bed, interesting room. The overall experience entering the hotel is that you step back in time in a good way and this is really nice for a stay in city like Gent. The entrance, the room, the breakfast room and view of the garden, the classical music at the reception - everything makes the atmosphere unique. Being in an old house there are certain limitations like lack of a lift which for me was not a problem but should be considered by people who have difficulties with stairs. Highly recommend it.
