    I'd prefer an easier method to unlock bikes, but not a big deal. Loved having free bikes as guests, super amenity!

    Loved the nespresso machine in the room. It was easy to get in and out, and great location. Loved having access to bicycles. Perfect central location for walking and exploring Gent. Very stylish, simple and well appointed. Perfect place to stay! Wonderful!

    parts of the room felt like they were still under renovation and looked unfinished.

    Spacious room and bathroom. Room had views of the belfry tower. Easy walk into the main part of town. bikes were available for use if you wanted.

    Room was on the small side but ok just for me. The bed was comfortable enough but it felt cheap and the mattress moved easily.

    Great location - quiet street but easy walk to central Ghent. Beautiful lounge. Tea and coffee facilities. Very clean. I liked the tiny balcony which my room (number 3 ) had.

    Nothing.

    The common kitchen and dining area was great. The free coffee and machine were very welcome. The neighbourhood was very quiet with a handy express supermarket very close by. The host was very responsive and accommodating. The free bikes were a bonus too. 😀👏

    Great location and wonderful bikes

    The little things were just lacking - the shower-head leaked, the soap was empty, there was no tourist info, the room was a little sparse, with no pictures or photos and just lots of bare, empty shelves, and the bikes could do with a bit of a smarten up, but none of this impacted hugely in my enjoyment of my stay.

    The location was quiet and close to the centre. The room was large and with a nice, big walk-in shower. The in-room Nespresso machine was great for kick-starting the day. The ability to just borrow a bike was wonderful and I saw much more of the city as a result, however, the first one I took didn’t have working lights, something I didn’t spot until it was dark!

    Great location! We loved being able to use the bikes and make a simple meal in the kitchen. Also we really appreciated being able to make coffee and tea in the room. While we did not see staff they were very responsive and helpful. Beds were comfy, rooms were clean. We really enjoyed it. Only downside is that you can hear everything. One night some guests came back at 1am and were very loud. But with ear plugs we could get back to sleep. We’d happily stay here again!

    Room was on the ground floor which was fine but some people might not like. There was an issue with other guests being noisy on the first night but the owner sorted that out quickly.

    Nicely decorated, centrally located, easy to check in, decent size, cool that they have free bike rental.

    Nothing to not like, great accommodation.

    We had a wonderful stay – the accommodation was a warm and comfortable base for exploring the city. It’s just a short walk to all the main tourist spots, yet also well-situated for venturing further. The room was a good size and had everything we needed. A lovely touch was the extra tea, coffee, milk, and even chocolate provided on the stairs leading up to the room. The shower was excellent, and having access to a shared room for preparing food was a real bonus, especially with a small supermarket just across the road. Although we didn’t use them, the free bikes are a great idea. If the weather had been warmer, we might have taken advantage of them, but honestly, we found Ghent small enough to explore easily on foot. Overall, a great place to stay – we’d highly recommend it!

    There were some construction works on site, on our last day and the workers were playing very loud music, which prevented us from having a good night sleep. But I do believe that this was only a one-time occurance.

    The location was great, the atmosphere was cosy and the room was large and the beds were very comfortable. Plus, the free bikes made visiting the city even more enjoyable.

    I wasn't given access instructions until I was already travelling even though I was asking from the day before I got no response. Bit of a worry so I started looking for alternate accommodation while enroute in case info never came. Would have been ok if I had been told that instructions would come on the day but website said instructions would be provided in advance!

    Room 1 perfect for a solo traveller or cozy for 2. Excellent shower, generous with good coffee and tea provision, great location, bicycles available!
