Extremely convenient central location. Clean economic rooms with a nice bed and thoughtful details. Some noise due to its location, which is understandable. Had a great stay.

Front desk was very nice. Cobwebs and dust in the room. Toilet is so close to the wall you can barely sit without knees touching. Ideal location though.

Ideal location next to three favorite tourist attractions. Ideal also to walk to the castle. The hotel staff was so helpful! I'm very grateful to be in a warm and friendly hotel. I love the eating and social area where when you can go in the evening, they are so welcoming. There are also games and a nice setting for visiting.

Hotel staff weeee great and helpful, especially assisting us with a medical emergency and being accommodating. Rooms are nice and clean. Hotel is very nice and clean. Location is fantastic for touring the main sights of old Ghent. Only issue with the hotel is it was noisier than previous hotels, poorer sound proofing between rooms and especially to outside. But overall a great hotel and good value!
