    There was NOTHING I did not like!

    I absolutely LOVED my time at this hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful, location central (short walk), and the room wonderful. I booked a suite, the size of the room is very spacious, the bathroom is huge (with 2 sinks) and one of the best beds I've slept in. I was sad to leave!

    No dressing table mirror in the bedroom area.

    Very modern hotel in good location for access to main sights and tram line. Suite was very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Staff were friendly and efficient. Both the rooftop bar and atrium bar had a good vibe with a great selection of food & drinks that were reasonably priced.

    Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from the lively centre and beautiful Churches and Castle of the Counts. Very popular roof top bar, and delicious and satisfying snacks menu in the ground floor bar - really tasty ribs! Light and airy rooms, our terrace overlooked the city.

    Nothing really

    After visiting the bar & rooftop many times I was intrigued by the hotel itself - and decided to test it Great room, great vibe & a wonderful & utterly genuine cocktailmaster (from Ukraine) & waitresses I forgot his name, but the guy made our evening

    A very stylish hotel almost in the middle of historical Ghent. We stayed in the penthouse terrace room which a lovely view overlooking the St. Bavo’s cathedral. The breakfast was tasty and fantastic, the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room also very stylish and fresh, everything was very clean.

    Didn’t like the 250 euro preauthorisation on my credit card even though room was paid in full in advance. There was no advise this was to happen. Money refunded 2 days later. I understand most hotels swipe your card as security but the 250 euro as security was excessive. Otherwise great place

    Nice modern hotel liked the Nespresso machine

    Beautiful hotel with perfect location and lovely staff — just wish the daily cleaning was more thorough.

    However, during our 7-night stay, the bed linen was never changed, and the room was neither vacuumed nor the floors/dust cleaned, which is my only complaint. Everything else was phenomenal, and I would happily return, hoping for more thorough daily cleaning in the future.

    Our stay at the hotel was wonderful! The hotel is beautiful, the design is stunning, and the location is 10/10. The staff were extremely kind and welcoming, and we truly felt at home. The room was perfectly clean upon arrival.

    The bathroom in the family room had a textured glass wall so the 3 teens were not comfortable using the bathroom when others were there. Otherwise, it was perfect!

    The staff is amazing! Hotel is directly on the Tram 1 & 3 lines and takes 15 min to get to St Peter's train station. Super easy to train to Brussels or Bruges for the day. Hotel’s central location is perfect for meandering the streets of Ghent. Cathedrals, restaurants, and more are within a few minutes walk. Family triple room is huge and double room with terrace has an enormous patio. Rooms also had a fridge. Lobby bar and rooftop restaurant were busy!

    Pillows were too soft. There wasn't much of a lounge space downstairs - just the bar/restaurant.

    If you're there for the Ghent Festivities, this hotel was just outside the festivities sites, making sleep possible! We had heard rumours that people booked in hotels directly in the middle of the festivities zones were losing out on sleep each night. That said, it was still very central and easy to get everywhere. Excellent summer rooftop bar too.
