    Cozy room in central Ghent

    This is a great guest house for a weekend stay. Longer stays will find the room too small. We visited during the Jazz festival, which may have contributed to low value for money return.

    Cozy guest room, very centrally located in Ghent. The sparsity of the accomodation did not detract from the essential ammenities.

    I wasn't sure if I had successfully reserved the hotel until I arrived, likely due to a technical issue with booking.com. I was able to send a message to the property, but the reply they sent me wouldn’t open. I think I didn't receive the door entry code needed for check-in because of this technical issue. As a result, I spent some time in front of the hotel trying to resolve the problem. Fortunately, the restaurant owned by the hotel's owners was in the same building, so I went there and resolved the issue with the hotel owner. Even though I arrived before the check-in time and couldn't enter my room immediately, I was able to leave my belongings there and start exploring Ghent, so I didn't mind.

    I stayed in a beautifully furnished, spotless, wonderful room. Additionally, the coffee machine in the room doubles the enjoyment of your stay! One of my favorite parts of my trip to Ghent was my hotel.

    Nothing, everything was good

    It is in a nice neighborhood, close to the center of Gent, 5 minutes from the Vrijdagmark, and 10 minutes from the Graslei. The rooms could be more spacious, but they are enough if you enjoy the city and only use the room for sleeping like us. Everything was clean, and we could leave our luggage on the last day while we visited the city.

    Rooms were rather small but not really an issue for us since we didn't have suitcases.

    The location is great, owners are really sweet and the rooms look exactly like the photos. Air conditioning was also a great feature especially if you're going in the summer.

    Not a majo issue but it would have been better if the 2 singles beds were either pushed together or pushed further apart. The beds were separated by a very small gap which made it a bit difficult for my mum to get into the bed or for us to plug or chargers in. There was a strange, persistent smell. It wasn’t so bad that we need to do anything but just a bit annoying. A small diffuser or air freshener would easily do the job.

    Just what you need for a short stay in the city! The room was very clean and had everything we needed. Staff were very attentive, we arrived early and they let us into our room. Also although we weren’t expecting it, housekeeping came on the second day and did a quick tidy up which was very kind of them.

    Internet access through Wi-Fi was very limited. Without cell service or data access, it was very difficult to make daily plans when we had no internet, and it was impossible to contact the owners when their restaurant was closed.

    Good location with easy walking access to popular Ghent attractions.

    Instructions on using the air conditioner could be better. Couldn't get it to work properly, but the staff refunded a portion of our room fee which was a huge surprise and greatly appreciated.

    We did not order the breakfast so we cannot comment on that, but the location was excellent. Within walking distance to what we wanted to see.

    I appreciated everything about my two-night stay at Edgar Guesthouse, and will most certainly return when I am in Gent again. The room was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. The refined and minimalist style, beautiful wooden furniture, and natural-toned textiles (and fine quality bedsheets, etc) give one a feeling of mental calm (and of being on holiday). Their restaurant around the corner, Edgar kaasbar, has a lovely selection of food and drinks. And I would recommend the Edgar’s breakfast basket. Also, the location is perfect! Very near to the Gent-Dampoort station and you can walk to everything from the guesthouse. Tip-top!

    My room was on the 4th floor and it was a walk-up; I had a very heavy suitcase and it was difficult to manage. Wish I got a heads up about this in advance. There was also no fitness center as it was a house; wish I had known that as I packed workout clothing.

    Excellent location in the middle of everything. Exceptionally walkable, great amenities and excellent recommendations for local spots from the owners.

    The room is a little small for the price. Yet I traveled during a popular tourist season so it could be that the price was in line with other accomodations for the time of year.

    I think the location overall was good. It is a five minute walk from the historic sites. It is also within a 15 minute walk to Gent Dampoort Train Station. It is far from the main train station but so is are the main sites anyway. The room was comfortable and air conditioned and the management was very responsive. This is a guesthouse as opposed to a hotel, which I have never experienced before, but was overall pleased with the experience.
