“Excellent place to stay at the heart of ghent, iconic building and friendly staff. A definite choice in ghent belgium”

05 Apr 2026

Excellent Location right at the heart of Ghent, jaw dropping hotel building which looks like a palace, High ceiling rooms, staff was very friendly and helpful. It was my birthday and the hotel staff arranged a happy birthday balloon, fresh waffles and a lot of belgian chocolates in the room. Loved the gesture.
