Amazing shower but without ventilation. That should be installed asap. We didn't figure out how the coffee machine worked. The bed was very good, but there was'nt much space around the bed. Breakfast was offered for 25 Euro per person which we declined. We only stayed for one night.

This property has bed bugs. I discovered this at midnight - the night guard was unbelievably rude and argumentative when I raised this as an issue. He was dismissive and aggressive and frankly I’ve never experienced anything like it. The ladies at reception were very nice, tumble dried my clothes after I washed them, I was given an alternative room for the rest of the night and the hotel issued me a full refund that is to be honest the least they could do. I am covered in bites, had to book a new hotel for the rest of my trip and this cast a bit of a pall over the holiday. Both staff members I spoke to were keen to insist the hotel wasn’t at fault as they had just had a lot of guests from the city festival. Make of that what you will. The property is charming and well located but the cleanliness and self-admitted capacity to handle large numbers of guests in these circumstances leaves a huge amount to be desired.

It was a fun little quirky place to rest at night. If you don't mind sharing the toilets and showers, go for it. Ita not a big deal to be fair. Super close to the canal and all the main parts of Ghent. Would definitely recommend! Thanks for the hospitality!

We had a great stay! Room was spacious and a short walk to some great restaurants. Although our room had air conditioning, it got very hot at night. Breakfast buffet provided a big selection of food options and good coffee. Would definitely return but maybe not in the summer!

I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This was a fantastic find! The room was spacious and spotless, very clean. Everything was as advertised, we had a small kitchenette, lightly stocked with necessary items. The bathroom was large, the staff was excellent. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The room was spacious and very new. The bathroom had a window that wouldn’t stay open. It seemed a little farther than expected from the sites. We would have liked to have seen more history and pictures of the building. The room number named a person, however it didn’t let you know anything about them. The room we were in was not accessible by an elevator, which was fine for us. Seems like they should ask that when booking. Renovations well done.

Great Value

Lovely friendly helpful staff. Great value room compared to other places nearby. The window above the room door let light in when other guests walked by the rooms and the automatic light switched on, but this was very infrequent and otherwise no complaints. Would stay here again!

Great location, shabby hotel

Great central location, peaceful and good parking - but all a bit shabby and basic for the price. Room walls rather thin and noise carries through. Breakfast was good. The idea is good, but this is all rather tired and needs some investment to make as nice as it could be. If your primary concern is location and you are driving, this is a great choice. If you want somewhere of a high standard in terms of rooms this isn’t it.

Smart and quite trendy renovation of old monastery. There was a cold tap alongside my wash basin but no hot tap. Very odd - perhaps a legacy from monastic times ! Ha ha. I was on first floor and never did find the toilet so I always have to go downstair to the first floor to the toilet. Perhaps there was hot water and a first floor toilet but never found them.
