10/10 Excellent

This is a really interesting and accommodating hotel. Location is excellent.
James, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a fun and neat experience! We had a wonderful time exploring the monastery and learning from the staff about the history. It’s a Beautifully renovated space.
Ann, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a great stay! Room was spacious and a short walk to some great restaurants. Although our room had air conditioning, it got very hot at night. Breakfast buffet provided a big selection of food options and good coffee. Would definitely return but maybe not in the summer!
Kimberly, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Room was very large with loft space to fit our whole family. Temperature cooled so lack of air conditioning was not an issue. Unique building well adapted as a hotel. Staff were very nice.
Koen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was a fun little quirky place to rest at night. If you don't mind sharing the toilets and showers, go for it. Ita not a big deal to be fair. Super close to the canal and all the main parts of Ghent. Would definitely recommend! Thanks for the hospitality!

property was unique, clean and convenient. we were only there one night, so not much experience
Joe, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Amazing shower but without ventilation. That should be installed asap. We didn't figure out how the coffee machine worked. The bed was very good, but there was'nt much space around the bed. Breakfast was offered for 25 Euro per person which we declined. We only stayed for one night.
Jo, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stayed here 5 or 6 times, very good hotel
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Bed very comfortable, easy walk to the main city Square. Only downside was not having hot or even warm water for a shower in the morning. Otherwise a delightful place!!
Kristy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great Value

Lovely friendly helpful staff. Great value room compared to other places nearby. The window above the room door let light in when other guests walked by the rooms and the automatic light switched on, but this was very infrequent and otherwise no complaints. Would stay here again!

A perfect place to stay.
Jonatan, 4-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This property has bed bugs. I discovered this at midnight - the night guard was unbelievably rude and argumentative when I raised this as an issue. He was dismissive and aggressive and frankly I’ve never experienced anything like it. The ladies at reception were very nice, tumble dried my clothes after I washed them, I was given an alternative room for the rest of the night and the hotel issued me a full refund that is to be honest the least they could do. I am covered in bites, had to book a new hotel for the rest of my trip and this cast a bit of a pall over the holiday. Both staff members I spoke to were keen to insist the hotel wasn’t at fault as they had just had a lot of guests from the city festival. Make of that what you will. The property is charming and well located but the cleanliness and self-admitted capacity to handle large numbers of guests in these circumstances leaves a huge amount to be desired.
Malgorzata, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was spacious and very new. The bathroom had a window that wouldn’t stay open. It seemed a little farther than expected from the sites. We would have liked to have seen more history and pictures of the building. The room number named a person, however it didn’t let you know anything about them. The room we were in was not accessible by an elevator, which was fine for us. Seems like they should ask that when booking. Renovations well done.
Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hotel ...very different from the standard box hotel. Stayed on the rectory cottage. Room was spotless and very comfortable. Check in was really friendly and helpful. Just 5 minutes walk from St Michael's bridge. Would definitely stay again.
RICHARD, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Unique and quiet set in a wooded area minutes walk from beautiful river, Gravenstein castle, pubs, shops, etc. Highly recommended.

Old monastry. Beautifully made to hotel in keeping. Breakfast in the church. Very close to town centre Gent.
Annemarie, 2-night trip

It's a very special place. Great staff. Pillows can be a bit smaller but other than that it is perfect. Stayed 3 nights and will definitely come back. Great location as well.
