We stayed here two nights mid week in April 2012. There are two guest rooms above an excellent small coffee bar. You go through a door marked private and up a very steep wooden staircase to the first floor where the two rooms look out over a fairly busy corner just to the north end of the Oudburg. Rooms are...

We had a fantastic weekend at Simon Says, the rooms are modern, stylish and spotlessly clean. The location is great, its situated in Patershol, a cosmopolitan area full of places to eat and quirky shops, just a five minute walk from the main square. Christopher, Simon and the team at Simon Says are all great, they're very friendly, helpful and... More

We stayed here for an anniversary weekend in November 2011. I booked and travelled in the same week, so it was imperative that my e-mails were answered quickly, and Christopher answered first thing in the morning on both occasions when I had e-mailed late at night. We were assured that we could drop our cases off early, and although we... More

I had the pleasure of staying as a guest this past week, for 2 nights, after which I moved on to Utrecht and Brussels. The only negative thing I have to say is that after the high quality, charm, attention to detail and outstanding staff at Simon Says, all other accommodations for the rest of my trip paled in comparison....

There are only two rooms here above the coffee shop. You could not fault the room, other than it being a bit hot, but then it was very warm for October. It was clean and comfortable and the wi fi worked too. The bed was super comfy. The staff are great, very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was really good... More

Stayed there for just the Saturday night on a family trip to Gent, and had a great time. It's close to all the important things (we wandered down by the canals, the markets, went to the design museum etc), and also right by loads of cute old streets with great restaurants on. The coffee shop itself is great, with delicious... More

Simon and Christopher were delightful hosts. Picked us up at the train station and were always happy and willing to answer questions and make suggestions for dinner or sights to see. The room was lovely, modern and clean and the all you can eat breakfast in the upscale coffee shop they run was wonderful. Location in Patershol, the old district... More

What a superb B & B, excellent location, friendly and helpful hosts and quality service. Simon says is set apart by the attention to detail, the room was spotlessly clean and everything provided that you need. Huge comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom, large opening windows all in a lovingly restored Belgian house. Simon gave us free tickets to the river boat... More

Cannot recommend enough. Lovely rooms, 'boutique' style, clean and spacious. The service was great, Simon, Chris and staff cannot do enough to make your stay memorable. The breakfast was superb, fresh and delicious and plenty for all. Wonderful coffee. Great location with plenty of restaurants nearby. Would definitely stay here again.
