We stayed in the carriage room, with private balcony. Positives: Great location for walking around Ghent, very attractive hotel, absolutely wonderful staff, private balcony, delicious breakfast. Negatives: The room is divided into two floors. The toilet is on the first floor. The bed, shower and sink are on the second. There is no sink in the toilet room, so that means going upstairs to wash your hands. There is no door on the shower. For some reason, the lights for most of the room (most importantly, the stairs) are controlled by one light switch on the first floor. I can’t begin to tell you how annoying this is. There are nightlights on the stairs, but who knows how they work? They did not work during most of our stay. The bedside lights do not operate independently (as far as I could tell). The air conditioner controls are super annoying. Personally, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again. If you choose to, make sure your partner is comfortable showering with no privacy. I should also mention that when we were there, loud club music kept us awake on two different occasions. It was being played at 3:00 in the morning. That is my most significant complaint.

This Hotel commands the centre of Ghent and make you feel like the lord of the manor as you walk in through the ornate doors and up the gothic spiral staircases until you reach your beautifully appointed room. Spend as much time as you can with the reception team as they will direct you to all the best spots in Ghent including where to find the best hot chocolate. They made my holiday perfect.

The reception staff was exceptional. They couldn’t have been more pleasant, responsive and helpful in reapinnding to our questions and offering suggestions. The only criticism was that the rooms were a bit dark which may be due to the age of the hotel which was otherwise imoeccibly maintained. Overall, however, great stay.

The view was stunning and the room was beautiful on 2 levels and with a balcony. Beds were v comfortable and would have been an smazing stay but the tram rails were being repaired in the main square just outside all night which was an unacceptable level of noise and the hotel were unaware thst the public works were planned or even happened. Not the hotel fault or even in their control but maybe a factor to consider in the location. Hopefully management were able to complain to the local manager of public works and can get prior warning so not to rent out those rooms affected
