We had a lovely stay and felt very comfortable. The access to the sites could not have been better. We loved the honesty bar and the ability to come and go privately. It has a great housekeeping staff and the place was clean and smelled great.

I can't imagine a better place to stay in Ghent. The building itself is a wonder, a visual highlight in a city of visual highlights. The staff, from check-in to dining, was superb. Everyone smiles, everyone is helpful. A fantastic part of a fantastic trip.

We stayed in the tower suite, which is very special, although it is a bit inconvenient to go to the toilet cause you have to climb down 28 steps to go to the toilet at another level. The hotel is near the touristy area. Taxi to the nearest train station only cost €10. Our room was not ready when we tried to check in at 4pm but they offered us free drinks in the bar lounge. Breakfast was excellent.

It’s an amazing hotel in a historical building. It was originally a post office long time ago. The duplex room is very spacious and lovely with lots of nice decorations. The Saint Nicholas’ Church is literally opposite to the hotel and can be seen clearly through the window of the room. The location is also quite nice, which is right next to the river and in the central area with walking distance to most of the population places. We were very impressed in general.

LOVED this place!!! It has a Harry Potter vibe, in a good adult way! Mysterious dark green walls, cutest antiques and oddities (dried beetles in bell jars)… little snugs with honor bars, Guerlain Eau Imperiale bath products and hotel fragrance! Soft cuddly robes and slippers. Great reads in your room and all about the hotel. Best attentive staff and you are in the middle of everything Ghent!

Lovely hotel renovated from an old post office. Wonderful location directly over the canal. Rooms are nice. However, in some rooms, the toilet is on a different level than the sink. They are connected by a narrow stair that does not have sufficient lighting when descending. It worked well enough, but one should know this before booking the room.

This hotel was so much prettier in person. Seeing the sunset beaming in behind the towers was breathtaking. I stayed in Suite 19 and was very pleased. I love that the front desk would write me "post card" notes. The staff was all friendly and willing to help with scheduling dinner reservations, helping me navigate the features of the room, and giving recommendations of things to do in the city. As a solo female traveler, I can recommend this city for safety and things to do. If you love aesthetic, taking photos/videos for social media posting, and luxury - then this is a great place for you to stay. I did not participate in their breakfast, but I did get hummus from the Cobbler bar and it was delicious. Check in/out was quick and easy. My room was actually ready early and they accommodated letting me go on inside since I had just traveled very far. Walkable to bars, restaurants, stores, activities. Bars, stores, McDonalds open late right across the street, which is nice for those of us visiting from a different time zone. Would stay here again!
