The wifi was a bit slow but otherwise everything was amazing

Beautiful suite of rooms. You have a lovely bedroom with a spacious living area and the apartment we had also had a sun terrace. The room have coffee and tea facilities as well as a fridge. The bed was super comfortable. The shower fantastic. The location is right in the middle of the old town by the castle so lots of bars and restaurants nearby. If the window are open you hear the noise of the bars but the bedroom is at the back and is surprisingly quiet. The hosts could not be more helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Everything was absolutely perfect. The rooms were exceptional - clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location opposite the castle was epic. Christian and Kay were lovely hosts.

Every detail was taken care of, so there was nothing to not like.

De Waterzooi is simply a wonderful B&B. Excellent location with a view on the castle with easy access to anything in the centre of the city. Personal welcome by the owners with a guided tour of the amenities by the lady of the house. Every detail is being taken care of and this with a lot of taste to please your general wellbeing. In the morning you will be be able to enjoy a superb breakfast with fresh and homemade products. We simply loved it and this includes the wonderful hosts of the Waterzooi.

B&B De Waterzooi is perfectly situated in Ghent; centrally located, near to the tourist information and with all the amenities you could want for a relaxing stay! Would highly highly recommend.

Christian and Kay have made a little slice of magic in Ghent with their B&B. From the "reception" in the common room of their apartment in the building, their warmth and welcoming words, the sedate elevator that took us to the 3rd floor, the smell of old wood, fresh river air and books, it immediately relaxed us after a long drive from the Hague. The 3rd floor apartment we took was something else as well - the view at the castle in front, the balcony that looks over the river and the church steeples in the back, chairs, sofas and beds you can immediately fall asleep in, all impecably clean... Kay told us that it is rare we can get a single night available on such short notice, but I am glad we did. Would recommend it to everyone, no matter how many times you visited Ghent!

That I could not stay longer.

Rooms were big, comfy and fantastic. Bathrooms were great. The breakfast was wonderful. Fabulous view of Gravensteen Castle right out the window with many great restaurants near by.

Nothing not to like!

Beautiful architecture and interior design, best location ever, right in the midst of all Ghent landmarks. Wonderful breakfast as well.

Stayed in April 2024

It was all excellent so if I had just one tiny gripe - the cups were very small (coming from Yorkshire we like big cups of tea!).

Amazing location, beautiful interior and extremely well equipped. Everything was thought of, from toiletries to a sewing kit (which I had need of!). Bathroom was to die for, huge bath and rain shower. The hosts were really welcoming and informative. The view from the lounge was unbelievable - looks like a film set. Ghent was a complete surprise - so beautiful and loads to explore - traffic-free but watch out for the bikes!

The bed was so comfortable and we were so comfortable relaxing in the lounge room. All this whilst enjoying the most incredible view of Gravensteen Castle!

Our room was spacious and cosy! There is nothing they have not thought of. Kay and Christian are extremely welcoming, make sure to indulge in breakfast as it is perfection.

Absolutely nothing...perfect 10 experience.

There isn't a better location or property in all of Ghent. As first-time visitors, it was perfectly located to the Tram, Boats, the Castle, more restaurants than you can imagine and an easy 5+ minute walk to just about everything else. Breakfast which is served by Kay could be its own attraction. Food was fresh, beautifully prepared and became a memorable highlight of our entire trip. The rooms and entire ambiance was impeccable. Every design and detail had Kay's touch on it. Normally where we stay on vacation if often forgotten but in the case of our stay with Christian & Kay it was an unexpected experience which will now be a lifelong memory!!

I can't think of anything - it was that wonderful!

De Waterzooi was such a lovely place to stay! We stayed in the 1st floor suite and it far exceeded our expectations. The view you won't believe it until you see it! The castle looked fake almost through the large windows. Location was perfect. The room was beyond spacious with a huge living area with very comfortable sectional couch and amazing views of the castle. The bedroom was cozy and the bed was memory foam with controls for each side to adjust height. The rain shower was great. We also had a private terrace with lounge chairs that was lovely to sit on and enjoy a glass of wine and Belgian beers! Above all the owners were so kind and accommodating. The breakfast is worth the extra charge. It was by far the best breakfast we received all trip. We even received a parting gift which was a lovely touch. Would absolutely stay here again if I'm lucky enough to return to Ghent.

It was an extraordinary stay. Warm and friendly welcome. Beautiful suite with an unbelievable view. Breakfast was one of the best we've ever had. We were so happy ! Big thanks once again !

Nothing, it was magical

Phenomenal! The staff were exceptional, giving great advice about the area and providing delicious breakfast. The B&B is in a fantastic location, with views of Gravensteen and easy walking or tram access to much of the city. The bed was very comfortable, and the lounge boasted a lovely sofa, good-sized TV, and warm lighting. Due to the weather, we didn't make much use of the balcony sun-loungers, but we'd love to try them in the future. The medieval stonework blended wonderfully into modern features, and our apartment felt beautifully romantic. Would highly recommend and hope to return one day!
