Gorgeous charming hotel with excellent service!

Beautiful hotel with perfect view of a cathedral from our twin room. Hotel is in a historic building with lovely architectural features by the canal and the room we were in was a cleverly designed "duplex" with the bathroom and sinks on the upper floor (ie loft) which made full use of the almost double volume ceiling in the smallish twin room we were in. The only drawback was that the steps were narrow and steep and would pose a problem if one had mobility issues. The toilet was located by the door next to the entrance but there was no sink for handwashing. Alcohol gel in a pump bottle was provided. There is a café, lifestyle / clothes shop and supermarket in the same building. Very convenient and the hotel's location was walkable to all the sights in Ghent central. The front desk staff were very polite and gracious and allowed us to store our luggage when we arrived before 11am, since check-in was strictly at 4pm. We were happy to find that our suitcases had been already delivered to our room when we returned to the hotel at 4pm. There are 2 bars in the hotel - one which is open to the public which was buzzing in the evenings and a guest-only "Honesty Bar" (1st photo) in which hotel guests could purportedly help themselves to liquor and pen down what they had imbibed - but I never saw anyone in it ! This could be due to a lack of ice or mixers. Or glasses. 🍸

It’s the best hotel by far. Great location with a supermarket right below and a 2-minute walking distance to a train station. Lovely view and beautiful hotel. Worth every penny.

Amazing!!!!!!

酒店位置優越，三面分別面臨香草河、聖米歇爾橋和教堂、聖尼古拉斯教堂，設計感十足，尤其是在一些細節方面處理的非常完美！前台服務細緻周到，房間空間不大，但極其乾淨衞生，我們住的是loft 式的，淋浴間和洗手池在二樓，對於我們沒有問題，但建議膝蓋不好的人要避開這個房型，總之屬於短期體驗式酒店的特別推薦！對了，床頭香氛不僅好聞還有助於快速入睡。

超級美超級美的酒店，不論是外觀還是內部都遠超預期。儀式感很強的酒店。來根特真的一定要入住這家酒店。服務態度特別好。一定要説點缺點的卻是是洗手要上樓這件事。
