Simply gorgeous historic hotel in the heart of Ghent with the feel of a true boutique hotel. Wonderful cocktail bar in the evening though, sadly, no restaurant. Superlative staff at all levels from reception to housekeeping.

Perfect Ghent for a dreamy break
We had 4 beautiful nights at 1898 The Post. This is a stunning hotel right on the main Ghent square, perfect for walking around all the beautiful parts of this fascinating city. Our room was thoughtfully and tastefully decorated and the additional requests we made were covered. Our only comment was the breakfasts were not relaxed and one older woman in the cooking area told me off several times, wrong plate/ wrong bread etc, not great for an expensive breakfast in a premium hotel and we noted she was the same to other staff.
