My husband and I had a wonderful 3 night stay at this hotel. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable and the views fantastic. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. We would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend the hotel to others.

Good value for money. Conveniently located in historic area. Street-facing room was quite noisy given the hot night and need to open the windows. Staff were correct, though not particularly warm.

I had a long stay. It was lovely! It’s a beautiful hotel and the staff was able to rise to any challenge. It’s in the perfect location across from the castle and abundant shopping, dining, drinking, museum, church, tower and canal tours and amazing chocolate. The breakfast was excellent and had many options.

I chose one of the cheaper rooms - facilities may be better in other categories. Lovely buiding, fab location and friendly staff. No air-con and it was warm. Very noisy outside with window open. Aircon was being installed when I was there and windows were measured for new sound proof fittings. So things may improve. I did have to make a complaint about something and staff dealt with it very well. Despite tram works, relatively easy to get to hotel from train station. Do check status but as of July 2024 it was T1 to Zuid, then change platform for T2 to Gravesteen

Abbiamo parcheggiato in un parcheggio sotterraneo a meno di 5 minuti di distanza. Vicinissimo al castello e a pochi minuti dalla zona con movida serale e dalle principali attrazioni turistiche. Camera spaziosa e raggiungibile con ascensore.

Depends on the room
At first we were put in a cupboard labelled room 11 which I didn't realise was above the smoking area until we went to bed. It stank. I am asthmatic and could not breathe. Above us were the party 'couple' who were literally up all night banging. I begged to be moved and was told no rooms left. I checked with a booking website and could book a room - a clean room, not smelly and no banging couple. After I begged and cried the member of staff finally relented and gave us a suite (room 44). It was stunning. Book that if you want a treat. It rescued our weekend away. The hotel is lovely as long as you get a good room. Breakfast was fabulous and the position is perfect - right in front of the castle. You need to book high up if you want to be away from the street noise and have a view.

Old hotel with steps in hallways. So not good for people with disabilities. Room was very warm and airco was making strange noises. Luckily we were able to open the windows to lower temperature. Staff was really nice. Arriving by car was a nightmare with the current Ghent traffic mess.
