Central location
Our room was upgraded to a suit in the old part of the hotel. The room was very spacious but quite dark. Check in was a challenge as although we had booked a B&B rate reception was adamant that our booking was room only. Luckily the app showed breakfast was included and they eventually accepted it. Breakfast had a good selection but was very busy. The hotel has a central location Nice big bathroom

My room was underneath the restaurant and so rather noisy. Great location in an old building so you have to make allowances

It was an easy walk to the sites. Overlooking the canal. We were on the second floor, and the dinning room wss above us. Very loud in the morning as well as could here the people in the next room. No cable so no watching any late night movie

Such a great spot to us as a base to explore the old part of Gent. An old cotton mill, you can feel the history surrounding you. A few minutes walk from the thriving riverside and only 10 mins from all of the major attractions. Ghent Card well worth the money too.

Mediocre
Room was nice, very humid constantly in bathroom, towels evwn when dry felt damp. Shower gel in shower was empty, when we went down to ask for more, we were questioned "really" by staff. Description states work out room and sauna, beware says nowhere that you need to pay each time for sauna, 72 euros!!!! Every little thing had price tag attached, surprised they didn't charge us per pod of coffee.
