The best part was the breakfast with freshly baked pastries and a fine river view 🥐 Only downside was the noise from adjoining rooms, which affected my sleep a bit.

Location is well close to the center. Hotel is in a quiet location. Small beautiful garden to sit outside
I think breakfast is too expensive

The breakfast was great, the staff was very quick to refill and clean everything
The bathrooms were not properly cleaned or after a day we were there then not at all, towels were laid ready but neither toilet, wash basin or shower cleaned. That's what we said at the reception. I must say that was inadequate for the chambermaids or cleaning staff.

This hotel was a perfect match for getting around Ghent with great value for money. The room was very clean and spacious, made our stay enjoyable. If you're visiting, make sure to check out the nearby sights on foot.

Beautiful modern and comfortable rooms where you can feel at home. There is also a very nice courtyard. The location is such that one can get to all sightseeings within walking distance.
Unfortunately we could only stay one night and had to leave early in the morning. We thought that was a great pity.

the location was close to city center
card key did not work. Room was dirty (used towel on floor, used shampoo bottle on sink). Hotel was very loud (very little sound insulation). Shower was extremely small -- kept accidentally turning off the water as I turned around in the shower (kept bumping the handle)
