Hotel berhampiran Romanesque House in Ghent, Gent

My recent four-day stay at the hotel in Gent, Belgium, housed in a charming 19th-century former monastery, was unfortunately marred by several significant issues. Upon arrival, the historic charm of the building was evident and quite captivating. However, the allure quickly dissipated as the stay progressed. Firstly, a standard room lacked en-suite toilets and shower compartments. While this detail is mentioned on the booking site, it is buried in the fine print, a detail easily missed by prospective guests. This is not an amenity gap one would expect from an establishment that charges €135 per night for a standard single-occupation room. Moreover, the hotel failed to provide hot water for two consecutive nights, despite repeated complaints. This fundamental necessity is non-negotiable for any guest, and the hotel’s inability to address the issue promptly was highly disappointing. The lighting situation in several rooms was another major letdown. There were no main lights, leaving rooms dimly lit. When reported, the receptionist unhelpfully and incorrectly stated that the lamps were merely for decoration. This lack of adequate lighting significantly impacted the comfort and usability of the rooms. Adding to the discomfort were the creaking floorboards in the corridors, which disturbed even not-so-light sleepers at midnight. The noise level was unacceptable and further disrupted what was supposed to be a restful stay. While the hotel's historic setting is undeniably beautiful, the experience was marred by these significant issues. For an established hotel, the expectations are high, and basic amenities like hot water, proper lighting, and sound insulation should be a given. Overall, my stay was disappointing, and these issues reflect poorly on the hotel's standards. Future guests should be aware of these potential inconveniences, especially given that some are not adequately disclosed upfront.

Sehr schönes Hotel im Zentrum von Gent. Gebäude im klassizistischen Stil mit modernen Elementen. Tolles Frühstücksbüffet mit aufmerksamem Service. Check-in war ok, die Check-in Zeit 15 Uhr wurde leider nicht eingehalten. Wir haben aber netterweise ein Upgrade bekommen, daher hat sich das Warten gelohnt. Besonders schön sind die Zimmer mit Balkon zum Innenhof. Das Restaurant hatte geschlossen. Die Drinks im Innenhof waren sehr gut, der Service abends etwas langsam. Man ist vom Hotel schnell zu Fuß in der historischen Innenstadt. Gym und Pool klein aber gepflegt. Insgesamt ein tolles Hotel.

Location is quite convenient for tram and walking to centre. Room and bathroom and TV size are a bit small, but they are clean. Daily room cleaning did a good job, and the receptionists are really helpful and friendly.

We chose Getaway because it allows bicycles in the rooms and we were on a cycling holiday around Flanders. You can't check in before 3pm as the property is locked remotely, which was fine, we found a bar to spend some time :) There were three of us staying in a Deluxe Business Studio, we'd thought one of the beds would be on a mezzanine level, it wasn't. Not sure if we messed up or the photo was a little confusing. It's an old building and windows are set quite high in the room. There was a small kitchenette that we didn't use. Location is great but we felt it was a little over priced. No real complaints though. Lobby is very handsome.

Location quite far from the center , it’s about 25 mins to center by walk , it’s quiet area and no much restaurant or shops near by , we need to walk to center for some meals, room is clean and all staff are nice.

The location and breakfast buffet make this hotel ideal for visiting Ghent. It's a short walk from the train station and. situated near some nice restaurants. You can easily walk to all the sights of Ghent or take the tram in front of the hotel. The bed is very comfortable. The room is large and bright. Everything is super clean. If you stay here, be sure to stop by the Brasserie de Moraal. It's just up the street. Lovely place for dinner. Good food. Reasonable prices. Cordial staff.

It’s near to the train station but need abit walk to tourist side, nice restaurant around the hotel.

The hotel sad modern and chic so we did like it a lot. The staff is very helpful and take time explaining all the information. Great mention to Judi (?) at the reception for helping with the planning of the city trips around Belgium. We will be back!!!
