It is like staying in a well appointed 17th century mansion. The fournitures are beautiful, particularly in the dining room. The breakfast is excellent with many choices and service at the table. The facility might be challenging for people with limites mobility because of the old fashioned stairs and bathtub.

Wonderful hotel

This hotel was great! The woman who checked me in was also the breakfast cook (and probably many more things) and she was so sweet and helpful. I loved my small room at the top with it's exposed beams and charm.

The hotel is magnificent. The staff very guest oriented. Like going back in time with this historic gem. The breakfast each day was scrumptious. This was our second time at the Erasmus and look forward to a third when visiting the incredible city of Ghent.

We only stayed for one night whilst the Christmas market was on. Hotel is very convenient to the centre and trams are a short walk away. The gentleman on reception was lovely and very helpful. Lots of interesting traditional furniture and artefacts in the hotel. Room was large with a modern bathroom.

If you like the history, it is the place.

It is an historic hotel with many antiquities in the décoration. The location is perfect near the canal. It is quiet but there is no escalator and the room was on the 5th floor. The beakfast was included and we liked the food. But ithe price for a night is a bit expensive. The owner was a gentleman .

This hotel had great ratings but my room had ratty threadbare towels, the walls were dirty, and there were things still under the bed from previous guests. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was great.

Lovely stay in an amazing property. Big double room with a view over the garden, great breakfast and good location for walking around Ghent. The property is very old and packed with antiques and artefacts. It is clean and the room was made up each day but it’s individual and lived in which we appreciated. Would recommend.

Think student digs in an atmospheric building.

OK if you want rustic / basic - plenty of both. The bones of the building are great, the breakfast is OK and the proprietor is very pleasant BUT: Very limited reception, no lift, no air conditioning, no shower, plenty of street noise all night. Think student digs in an atmospheric building. Not for everyone.

Lovely hotel in a very historic building. The hotel owner is so kind and friendly, making me feel very welcome. The room was comfortable and quiet, and the hotel is in a very good location as you can easily walk to a lot of places. Breakfast was excellent, and I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel has a lot of character. I hear when people say it could benefit from some modernization, but not at the expense of making it another cookie-cut hotel. It os definitely a wonderful choice for travelers looking for experiences, rather than for tourist looking for the standard Marriott. In addition, Peter, the hotellier is quite a character, efficient, professional and nice personality. I would stay here again if I come back to Ghent.

I was going to give 1 star review for the property but the breakfast was actually good, so 2 stars overall. Everything is very old in the hotel. We got a room on the 3rd floor. No elevator, nobody to help with the luggage. Beds squeak whenever you move. No air-conditioning. If you open the window, too much noise from outside. Garbage truck comes at 6:30 and for 15 min there is banging.
