The apartment was lovely. The room was warm and cozy. Linda was very kind and friendly. Breakfast was perfect: fresh and delicious. The location was good, with a bus stop right in front of the door, and the city center was not too far away.

“Overall an enjoyable and comfortable stay”
Enjoyed our short stay and the breakfast was great. Our room was two sets of steps up and quite steep but we managed them. Lovely host and we found paid parking nearby. Historic centre a good 20 min walk from the property

“Charming and comfortable B&B at the south centre of Ghent”
Sparrow's Nest is located on the south end of Ghent's inner ring road. I was on my bike, so this made it ideal to reach, and then it was 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes cycle to the centre. The room was pleasant, and the host friendly (allowed me to park bike in hall (ok for one or two clean bikes, not for lots). The breakfast was good, with continental breads cheeses and ham, an egg offered, and pastries, jams, etc. available. The room, bed, shower, were clean, comfortable, all very good.

“Good hotel at a great price.”
Good location, everything is nearby (transport, old town), within a radius of 1.5-2 km, you can walk. The hotel looks beautiful, in an old house, but everything is beautiful, clean, tasteful. Rooms on three floors with steep stairs, but acceptable for not very old people and without big problems with movement. The hostess is very hospitable and interesting in communication and providing breakfast. Check-in strictly at the specified time.

“Loved it. Highly recommend.”
Wonderful host, lovely room & the breakfast was so nice! Very comfortable & lots of little touches which was appreciated. My room was up steep flights of stairs - not a problem for me, but something to consider. There are other rooms available, so worth asking if this is a concern.
