Pillows, beds not overly comfortable, tea making facilities difficult and basic, opening velux windows extremely difficult and needed help as we had to climb on furniture to reach. No lift available beyond 3rd floor, had to carry our cases further ourselves (both in our mid 60s). Generally good
Location, breakfast, front of house staff were very polite and helpful and responded quickly to our needs.

For the standard of the rest of the hotel, the room itself was slightly worn. Noise in the corridor and occasionally outside in the street seemed quite loud.
All staff we extremely friendly, the check-in experience in particular was very welcoming. Hospitality staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. Really beautiful reception and nice main bar. The bed was extremely comfortable. The location is the best in Gent!

“Central location but is not worth the money spent”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Executive Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The room was rather big but the bed was super uncomfortable, in particular old pillows. The towels used to be white one day, but now they are grey with multiple stains. All in all, I think the price we paid for one night (EUR 170, booking made a couple of weeks in advance) is too much for such quality of services. But to be fair, all hotels in Ghent are pretty expensive.
The biggest plus of this hotel is the location. The pleasant surprise was breakfast. Quite decent choice of options. Plus, the manager ordered a special gluten free bread for me (I put a note about my intolerance when booking the room). Thanks a lot for that.
