Stayed here June 2013. The hotel is in a great location, close to all the fantastic Ghent attractions. Ask for a room on the river and you'll see (and hear) the tour boats go by your window. Some people have said this was a problem for them but I found it very fun and unique. I even stood by the... More

This hotel is perfectly located, although not as cheap. Fantastic rooms, although we did not have breakfast, the selection looked big! Nights staff were far more friendly and willing than day staff. Pick a room facing the court if possible, to the right hand side of building is a youth centre. Very noisy until 9pm. Rooms fantastic with everything you... More

Room on the groundfloor was very dark. Shower was working but without massage- function and water could have been hotter. bed was not very good. breakfast is okay but if you arrive after 9:30 everything is eaten down and re-delivery is slow/won't not happen. Eventhough nice building and located very good. Try to get a room to the riverside.

The rooms all had individual charm, clean and quiet. We where six middle aged men on tour and found this a perfect site for our strolling and stumbeling around Ghent. Good breakfast. And friendly service. Very good book whith information about hotell and Gent in each room.

As group leader I stayed in this hotel several times with my groups participating in various programs in Belgium and the Netherlands. The location is excellent, in the heart of the city, walking distance of most major sights. My guests also like this hotel very much for its location, ambiance and historic values. My only criticism concerns a problem with... More

I booked this hotel through an AA package deal to celebrate my birthday. I asked for a 'special' room as it was my birthday but I guess that note was ignored as the room was just an average one, down a long dark corridor. Pros: clean rooms, friendly service, excellent breakfast in a lovely room, great location on the river,... More

My husband and I booked this hotel for a 3 day trip to Ghent to visit our daughter who is living over their just now. The hotel is in a great location, the entrance to the hotel is beautiful but making you way to your room is the first pointer that this hotel does not warrant 4 stars! The corridors... More
