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.

Room was lovely and clean and full of character - we picked the deluxe double with garden view (room 0.1). The stone floors and walls were quite cold which is to be expected but do bring some slippers - however as the bathroom ventilation wasn't good, this mesnt water pooled/condesated on all surfaces. The main issue was sound insulation - at night we could hear noise from rooms around us, people walking up the stairs, televisions, and all the plumbing and whenever someone used the bathroom! Made for a very communal experience. The ventilation system also made a lot of loud noises as it turned on and off through the night. As the cherry on top, a random man opened our room door at 09:30 and showed himself in - much to our alarm! Definitely an experience and the building itself was beautiful, we may have just not lucked out on our room allocatjon - however we won't be recommending to our family/friends.

We were having issues connecting to the internet. The staff working, Vicky (I believe her name is), tried her best to troubleshoot the issue. It didn’t resolve it but we appreciate the effort she made, going over and above, for the issue to be resolved and for our stay to be worthwhile. The problem was beyond her control but the dedication she showed was truly remarkable. Give her a raise!!

Great hotel ...very different from the standard box hotel. Stayed on the rectory cottage. Room was spotless and very comfortable. Check in was really friendly and helpful. Just 5 minutes walk from St Michael's bridge. Would definitely stay again.

Quirky historic hotel in a very quiet part of the city, but just a few minutes walk from the centre. Great staff, lovely breakfast. Well appointed room and bathroom. Only slight criticism is that the double bed was two singles pushed together and they were very "mobile" so would drift apart easily!

Lovely peaceful hotel, great location for Ghent

We loved our stay, the hotel is in an ideal location for the town centre and they tried to meet most of our special requests, very quiet room, walk-in, full-height shower. Extremely comfy beds, but no natural down pillows. Mainly good breakfast with range of usual food, bit lacking in wholemeal /rye breads, sadly nothing much in fresh salad stuff like cucumber /tomatoes /peppers.

Lovely hotel. Great location to transport links and the historical centre. Staff were helpful, and the bed was comfy. However, it was 2 singles pushed together, so be prepared to fall down the middle if you are like me and wriggle in your sleep.
