“What stands out is the superb location next to Gravensteen Castle, making it ideal for exploring Ghent's central attractions. While some rooms have drawbacks-like noise or small towels-the historic building's charm and pet-friendly policy are definite advantages. I think the hotel balances its historical setting with modern amenities, though breakfast might be better enjoyed elsewhere.”
