Exactly what we were hoping for a gentle oasis in the heart of Ghent. Simple but comfortable rooms. Be aware of mozzies in summer months. Breakfast was excellent. Gardens lovely to sit in. In easy reach of good restaurants opposite the castle. Would definitely recommend for those looking for a chilled experience comfortable but not luxurious

The staff were lovely. Clearly they had had feedback about the mosquitos so they had deterrent plugins in the room. It was a bit more expensive then the going rates in the area so that was hard to justify, but I am glad I stayed. The facility so VERY clean, the staff is helpful and kind and the rooms are extremely quiet and peaceful.
