“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.”

central location is amazing
quiet room blackout curtains separate toilet parking space
the staff accommodated my request for a room overlooking the castle. the room was very quiet and blackout curtains blocked the morning sun. the separate toilet and shower were very convenient. i reserved a parking space easily due to my zero emissions vehicle.
the bathroom had a slight unpleasant odor at times, like sewer
