The hotel is brand new and everything is so clean and in great condition. Check in was easy and they even printed documents fit I’d fit free. The location is great and the beds are comfortable.

Host was very accommodating and helpful. Unique Japanese style recessed bed and tub.

I loved this place! Location is excellent in center of Gent, the room is beautiful and the bathroom gorgeous. Only wish I stayed longer! Room has a kettle for making coffee and honesty bar is a nice touch - didn’t have a chance to try the wine but looked very nice and very reasonably priced. No breakfast but lots of options just meters away.

Location along the canal in the heart of Gent. Room opening to a private garden. Hamman for a steam relaxation is a special treat. It’s my second visit. Although breakfast is no longer offered, the location is wonderful. This is a special location for rest and recovery, a gem!

the atmosphere, the honesty bar and all the paintings/book around the room. The bed at floor lever is more comfortable than I though

Incredible place to stay. It was made of two rooms the first being an art room with displays in a shop window! This led to a private room with a sunken bed and more fabulous works of art. A very nice bath. Location was superb right in the centre of the city with restaurants & bars adjacent. Shops galore starting just round the corner. Opposite was the river/canal so you could walk alongside for a long as you wish. The organisation from the owner was first class and we did not even see them! Instructions very clear. Especially the carparking; I choose the 6 euro a day parking which was a 10 minute walk away, but better than the expensive alternatives up to 24 euro a day. So we dropped off the bags and parked the car. They have cutlery & plates now.

What an experience to stay in a room like that, so artistic and theatrical! We loved the feeling! The bed and the tub in the floor were great, really relaxing. The honesty bar great idea. Excellent location. Everything was so special! Thanks a lot!

Location was fantastic, we had a very relaxing stay, bedroom was stylish and very comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay in our cozy and comfortable room. Our bathroom was equipped with a Hammam shower :) The location very central and the staff very friendly.

Very central. The spacious size of the room. The idea of the honesty bar although we didn’t use anything. Heating system easy and made the room very comfortable. Spacious shower and bathroom.
