The BnB was located in the centre of Ghent(5 min walk to the main square). It's situated in a mansion from 1760, which was very nicely decorated. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated with a huge comfortable bed and a 2 person shower. A bathtub was also installed in a small side room, but it was not really suitable for people who are a bit tall. Overall a great experience.
NetherlandsThe room was fabulous - luxuriously furnished and decorated with great aspect on the garden, creating a very relaxing and comfortable environment. The bed was exceedingly comfy and the room very quiet. I have never slept so well in a hotel before. The room in which we were served breakfast was decorated with beautiful original rococo murals of pastoral scenes - truly special. I could not recommend more highly.
United KingdomLiterally everything. I even screamed a little bit when I fell on the bed, as it was so soft. I have never seen such a beautiful building, decoration, coziness. Jan & Marc are very welcoming and serene. The rooms are the prettiest and luxurious I have ever seen and every detail has been thought of. Bonus points for the doggie that walks around! If I’m coming to Ghent again, I’ll be here!
FranceThe building as well as the courtyard were truly marvelous with a lot of attention. The owners and staff were very friendly and forthcoming. I can recommend this place.
GermanyI have no other words than saying this is an exceptional property! I must praise the design which is truly outstanding - every detail is pure perfection
BelgiumBeautiful house very tastefully maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. My room was very pretty with a lot of light and the bathroom was big and lovely too. The house has a lovely garden, which unfortunately I could not use since it was cold.
SingaporeI really enjoyed the introduction of the house from our host on check in, taking us around and giving us some history about the house, he was really friendly. It was a pleasure. The room was brilliantly clean, comfortable bed, great bath. Mini bar selection was brilliant, although we didn't use much there was huge variety of alcohol available. Fantastic four poster bed with curtains, very cosy and warm. Thank you for having us!!
CanadaBeautiful property, fantastic hosts and lovely room!
United KingdomI have stayed in hundreds of hotels and this is the best I have ever stayed in. My partner has also stayed in many hotels around the world and also agrees that this is the best. It is an amazing building filled with the most amazing antiques and objects. Thank you for sharing this with us!
