Really cool concept. Really liked the stay. The bed was comfortable and the staff was accommodating. The location in Ghent was perfect. Only improvements: the pillows were not comfortable at all and one of the beds had some fuzz and what appeared to be hair. The bathrooms were spotless so I chalk it up to a mistake. Still a great place.

The hotel was lovely, the family room was spacious and recently refurbished. Beds were firm. Parking is 25 Euros a day and can’t be reserved beforehand, so first come first serve. Otherwise a local parking garage nearby. The only negative is that the bathroom was a wet room so the water didn’t drain well and the water remained on the floor. It’s slippery.

Bra och spännande boende. Minus för att parkering inte fanns tillgängligt och att man var tvungen att ställa bilen i parkeringsgarage (dock halva priset mot hotellet). Baren var öppen men inte bemannad och efter att ha väntat 20 minuter gick vi ut på stan istället.

The hotel was in a great location, close to St Michael's Bridge and also had parking. The parking was secure but quite expensive. The building was really beautiful as it was an old monastery. We did not have breakfast as it was quite expensive, but there was a lovely cafe at the end of the road. The staff in the hotel were really friendly and helpful, my partner injured his foot and they helped with ice packs and there was a pharmacy around the corner. The rooms were spotless and beds were comfortable. Very peacful despite location.

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.
