warren.familyOct 05, 2023 Excellent, one of a kind room, proprietor was friendly and helpful, and breakfast was good. Two flights of stairs to haul luggage up was only negative. Easy walk to main tourist areas.
terrence.partnerApr 28, 2023 Great experience, couldn’t have been happier!
verified t.partnerOct 21, 2019 Beautiful interior design. Delicious breakfast. Nice people.
verified t.partnerSep 29, 2019 Great location and very accommodating. They stored our bikes for us.
verified t.partnerJul 10, 2019 Lovely old house with nice individual rooms, our room was a little smaller than we would normally expect and the heating and lighting is a little quirky but altogether a very pleasant stay. The owner is very friendly and helpful. The parking is under cover (garage), very secure and close-by but the spaces are mostly suited to a small car (we had difficulty getting in and out when cars were parked either side). The location is excellent.
verified t.partnerMay 31, 2019 This is truly a b&b not a hotel. No coffee machine in room, had to run upstairs to next landing. Room was very poorly laid out, clumsy and inconvenient. Area was noisy at night.
verified t.partnerMay 13, 2019 Since it's a private residence, it is secure. We came early and the clean lady gave us a key and let us drop the backpacks. Still have not seen another person but i guess I am chocked in???
verified t.partnerMay 10, 2019 A lovely guesthouse near the centre of town which made getting around very easy. Coffee making facilities were available but no tea and being from the UK that's important to us! Other than that an excellant stay.
Another little gem in Ghent.
If you are ever thinking of staying at this guesthouse, go for it you will not be disappointed. The whole experience from arrival to leaving was a total pleasure.
Overall a lovely place. We stayed 4 nights in a huge room overlooking the street. Location easily walkable to everywhere in the old town. Taxi from train station €10. We liked the fire and sofa/ chairs in the room. Not so keen on the shower being in the bedroom. Took a long time for hot water to come through but then ok, though obviously not private as you cower away from the cold water from the large shower head. Also toilet has a glass door and light and extractor fan that come on automatically. Not great for sleeping partner if the other uses loo during the night. Breakfast standard continental with fresh fruit salad. For a b&b there was a complete absence of owners other than to let us in on first night and take payment on last morning (a bit impersonal for a b&b, but she was lovely when we saw her on last day. Didn’t find out names so sorry for ‘she’) Would we stay again? Yes, but maybe in a different room.
This B&B was great. The rooms were spotless and well kept. The breakfast was great with lots of choices. The location was perfect. A very short walk to the center of town, but quiet for sleeping. We stayed 4 nights and couldn't have been happier. I will absolutely stay here again when I come back to ghent
Owner was very nice & helpful, breakfast delicious, great location to sites. Tip: from the train station take a cab, avoid the bus, cost differential is minimal. Room was large & bright & quiet at night for a peaceful night's rest. Be prepared for stairs, no lift. The common-room Nespresso coffee machine was a nice touch.
Lovely guesthouse close to the centre of Ghent and many tourist attractions and historical landmarks. The house is beautiful and the breakfast each morning was delicious.
Ideal spot to walk to tourist sites around city. Nearby garage space was available for us, only 2 minutes away. The host provided excellent accommodation.
The price is appropriate, the location is excellent, and it is super practical. Most of the hotel is in really good condition, although the rooms are a bit quirky, they really go out of their way to make your stay as practical and pleasant as possible.
B&B intjis nice old buildings
Our room was on the 2nd floor facing the front of the house with 3 large windows
Old house with modern upkeep however bathroom was place she in the room with very small shower an de small sink with no space for toiletries
This was the major drawback making a shower a logistical challenge
Breakfast came in a sampler of fruit salad, only one egg cooked to our style and limited other offers but enough to keep some calories during the morning hours
Located 5 minutes from the main center of Gent, but noted a wonderful restaurant t next door to eat out Osborne the beaten track which o strongly recommend
We had a nice experience until we checked out and went on our way. We received a email the evening we left accusing us of spilling a substance on the room floors causing damage.
Not only did we not spill anything during our stay, we were barely in our room except to sleep. The owners charged our credit card over $3,000.00 to re-do the wood floors.
I emailed back and forth with the owners, receiving a photo of the “claimed” spill and damage.
We didn’t have a substance of that color with us to cause such a stain.
I had to contact my credit card company to dispute the charges.
I’m still in the middle of dealing with this.
I truly feel these owners tried to scam us. Saw two young American travelers and thought they could take advantage of us.
Little do they know, that my boyfriend lived in Belgium for 8 years and speaks the language fluently.
I would have given a great review as I thought the accommodations were quaint and charming. Unfortunately, the owners are dishonest so I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay there.
I wish you luck if you choose this bed and breakfast for your stay.
Love this little jewel of a guesthouse
I loved, loved, love this hotel/bed and breakfast. Let's start first with the space: a lovely burgher house with soaring ceilings and carved wood details, all done up in an elegant, fresh, modern style. I walked in and felt I had walked into a 5 star hotel. But it's just for you and a few others.
Rooms have themes and mine was Japanese - a comfortable room with Japanese-inspired décor, a small balcony a comfortable sitting area. But watch out, the shower is in the room - so not for casual friends sharing rooms! I think this was the smallest of the rooms available, given the layout.
Breakfast - lovely and European. Really relaxed where they serve you fresh juice, coffee, eggs, homemade croissants, etc. Location is about 1 block from the super-cute downtown. Which means that "only" half the buildings in the area are super cute. An extremely convenient place, and a total steal at this price.
What else - there is self-managed AC in the room and everything is perfectly clean.
Couple of notes:
Please do pay attention to the check in hours! It is managed by family so they do need to leave at some point.
They have a strict no shoes inside the house rule - which means everything is extremely clean and well maintained, but you will need to walk in the common areas in your socks or slippers.
Dieter was really helpful and accommodating. Good location and great room. Only comment I'd make is that if a guest is going on top floor perhaps check they can make the climb as there is no lift. But fully recommend place.
