Great location. Quiet and cosy. Most of the staff were lovely. Nice toiletries. comfortable beds and room was very clean . The coffee maker was great. .. no milk for tea but this seems to be the same everywhere in Belgium.
No mini bar or even water in the fridge. Couldn't stream any entertainment and only news channels available. Check-in was unfriendly and the member of staff only registered us for 1 of the 2 nights booked which locked us out of our room on the second night. It was sorted quickly after visiting reception in the main building.

Great location - room itself is nice as well
AC not working for two full days and front desk just say hey here’s a fan you can take (no I’d rather the AC be fixed), and the worst thing is - there’s a TON of mosquitoes in that room !!! I kept waking up to kill mosquitoes, and woke up with body full of mosquitoes bites , worst I had in years. HARD PASS . Half of the time you can’t even find anyone at front desk - I’ve seen a lot of confused people waiting at the desk.

The staff and location were excellent; without them, my review would be significantly lower.
Parking was full, so we parked far away and walked in the rain. The common areas needed repairs, and the AC struggled to cool the heat. The TV remote was dead, and the TV wouldn't turn on.

I got a room upgrade to the room overlooking the square. It was one of the best stays I ever had in my life. The good sir working at reception with foreign roots was exceptionally helpful and astonishingly good to talk to! He made all of this possible
The initial room I was booked was too small and not cozy.

Location for explorng the old town was perfect. Right next to the castle.
Really nothing,. We didn't pick it for other amenities so if you want those then this is not for you. But if you want a comfortable hotel with a great location for exploring the old town of Ghent, this is perfect.

Room was spacious and quiet, staff was friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. We were accidentally charged for two parking spots, even though we occupied a single spot, and the staff took the initiative to reimburse the second parking charge. Also, traveling on motorcycles, we liked the option of parking in an interior space.
It was all good.

Location was fantastic. The room was spacious and comfortable. Very pleased with my room. A/C worked really well with this record heat. I was able to run back to my room between exploring Ghent.

Pleasant
The hotel was fine and the rooms were nice. Bed was very comfortable.
I had free parking in my reservation. When I arrived, staff told me to park in a garage down the street from the hotel. I had to pay for the parking myself even though it was included in my reservation as free. That was a disappointment after a long days drive.

Location is absolutely great!!!
Equipment of the room ( for taller people short and small beds, unsuitable for taller people), cleaning was poor (we needed to ask for immediate support with a non-draining shower waste). There were spider webs on the walls, not properly closing door ( needed to push it harder which might be inconvenient for the other guests).
