Great location. Virtue service but they forget to send us the door code. Wait for 30 minute outside before we receive the access code

Clean and comfortable stay
Very clean and comfortable room with a nice private terrace. Ideal locations minutes from Gravensteen and many sights/attractions in Gent. Would recommend!

The best thing about the House of Edward was its location. Step away from the entrance are you are right in the center of Ghent's most beautiful sights.
RICARDO, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great studio loft in convenient location. Nearby parking stations made ut easy. Room on 3rd floor needed 48 stairs, last set very narrow, so not convenient if heavy luggage. Main letdown was lack of detail to servicing. Only one coffee mug, no coffee, one glass and only one fork. When texted agent, they were quick to rectify.

Great place and very accommodating and responsive/helpful staff. Older building that does have charm.

Good basic place to visit Ghent from
Room location and price was good. Bed was comfortable and pillows were nice. Basic provisions were okay. I could give this an 8 if the shower hot water was better. It stayed hot for a minute or less before turning cold. A little more provisions it small kitchenette would be nice - I was slicing onions with a table knife.
Conrad, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely old building. Yes, stairs are original and steep but not a problem. Front view is of square used for parking - shame but didnt spend time looking out of the window. Great place to stay
Jon, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Liked the room, the hands off check in check out, nice location for visiting Ghent. Steep stairs and railing needs some work.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good stay although the hairdryer was out of order.
Nathalie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location was great and the beds absolutely amazing! For that we would definitely stay again. The studio was light and spacious, could do with a more thorough clean (behind the tv!) and the kitchen amenities could be improved (we had 2 bowls, no plates, no kettle, no bin) Overall a good place and will be back. Thanks.

No reception to ask questions or get directions or map, no hand towels, no utensils, way overpriced, no elevator, 3rd floor room for people in their 70s!
Cindy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We booked a studio room and were pleasantly surprised to find we had been given the room on the top floor which was like a loft apartment, with a sofa and hi-table with bar stools. The bed was comfy and the kitchenette had a good amount of kit. Great location and I liked not having to worry about keys. We would recommend

10/10 Exceptional

What a wonderful little hotel! It is very close walking distance (2 minutes) to the old city center, with lots of wonderful restaurants, and an easy 5-minute walk to the tram that takes you to the train station for easy traveling around. The room itself is beautiful, and the bed is very very comfortable - especially the amazing feather pillows!! Perfect after a long day of walking! The owners were very responsive and made the self check-in and -out very convenient. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re back!

6/10 Good

I lived in room 11 and there are reception and the confirmation email had never been received. Had to wait 10 minutes to reach the staff. The hot water is not stable and comes and go. Should view the comment first obviously the water is system always have a problem. The hygiene is average. But the price is really attractive compared with other.
Man Kit Ken, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

This place is much better suited for a couple wanting a minimalist room, but not well-suited for a solo traveler. A little unsettling both from the area and the lack of other staff/service onsite
Cori, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a good stay for four nights, but it is more of an Airbnb than a hotel. I would not prefer their reception-less method if traveling alone. Rooms are spacious and quiet, but a little dingy/dusty. Showers would not stay warm for long in the evenings but mornings were fine. We had to contact owners for more towels and toilet paper but they arrived very quickly and seemed happy to check in with us. Extremely walk able area for beautiful Ghent, but getting to and from the train station required taxis. Public transportation was tricky in the area.

8/10 Very good

Simple check in, modern style, apple TV. Parking is 100yds away in an underground car park and is not cheap.
Peter, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

OK accommodation
Bad start due to lack of communication from the owners, they did not respond to texts or phone until several attempts. Did not get information about room or code for opening the doors. But once we got that by third phonecall, we were pleasantly surprised - the studio was large and comfortable, and fashionably cool. Bed was OK. Very good aircondition is a huge plus. Also, it's very central.The kitchen lacks kitchen towel and bread knife. Stay out of the laundry basement, it's full of garbage. All in all, good value and we would consider staying there again.
Ola, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed here 7 years ago, at that time it was great for us. Now it decrease, sure not again. The check in was crazy, no room free. After sending copy of confirmation, they gave with a room which us wrong room. If you are happy with just a clean bed, the rest is heavy used, this might be your choice. For room with terrasse, enjoy the sound from air condition and dirty chair's outside, for using the shower, try to switch on hot water from bathroom sink, it helps for the shower.

Travel
Napkins for the toilet and towels(hand towel and bathmat) for the bathroom were missing. We cannot buy a pack of 10 napkins when we go on holiday for 1-2 nights. It was careless not to include these in the fee. Since it is an online system, the operation is not satisfactory.
