The shared sitting rooms were an amazing additions to the standard hotel bedrooms. We had two adjacent double rooms at the first floor with a sitting room right next door and it felt like an entire apartment was at our disposal. There was another spacious sitting room on the ground floor. Both had tea and coffee facilities, plus an honesty bar for a late night drink for those who might want one. The location is great, walking distance to the city center and yet in a quite residential area. Maybe a weird thing to note, but the hairdryers in the rooms were really great, powerful enough to properly style your hair, not just blow dry it for. Most hotel rooms I've been in have a shameful excuse for a hairdryer 😅 so I was happy about this detail.

We stayed in the apartment and it was beautiful. Very spacious. Loved the balcony. Everything was very clean. The Kitchen was well equipped, we didn't cook but you easily could if you wanted to. The location was excellent - it was in a quiet spot but very close to the main sites. Only a 5 minute walk to the tram stop that takes you to the train station. Host very friendly and communicative.

It was easy to get around, very clean, the host Greetje was helpful and welcoming. It is located very close to the Gravesteen Castle, easy walkable distance to city center, silent at night, we slept well!

“Gem of Gent”
Amazing style in the beautiful room and great shared lounge and kitchen facility. Coffee and sweet treats available. Location is great to jump off for sightseeing but not right in the busiest area.

“Excellent comfort”
Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from centre restaurants etc. Apartment 6 was warm, clean and very comfortable. Great hot shower and clean bathroom facilities. Comfortable bed, bedroom with some hanging space for clothes. Kitchen had enough equipment for straight forward cooking with everything clean and effective. Pleasant living room - able to access BBC on TV which was an unexpected bonus for us. Warm underfloor heating plus radiators which was welcome during a cold spell. Interesting design and décor. Able to arrange parking with host at a underground garage about 5 minutes walk away which was convenient, safe, easily accessible and at a reasonable cost, We were able to park the car outside the property long enough to unload. Supermarket which had all essentials was situated next to parking We would certainly stay there again if visiting Ghent again - thank you Greetje

“A great location near Gravensteen castle (easy walk). Large spotless rooms, comfy bed & great shower”
We chose to wander around and sample different breakfast offerings as we only had 2 nights in Gent. There were many good options in walking distance.

“It’s apartment is the best choice for you.”
The apartment is amazing, very clean and comfortable. Delicious coffee and biscuits are also available. There is an underground parking lot next to the apartment with enough space for a large car. And what is important, you will be met by pleasant people who are ready to help with any questions.
