The Tower Room is a really cool room. You do have quite a few stairs to climb, but it's worth it.

The front desk staff were incredibly kind and professional, making me feel right at home from check-in to check-out. The hotel itself is full of historical charm; its architecture and decor beautifully preserve a rich historical ambiance, with every corner telling a story. The on-site bar has a fantastic atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing drink in the evening. The overall environment is comfortable and high-quality. This is a hotel that perfectly blends historical culture with excellent accommodation, and I highly recommend it.

This hotel was the most impressive one on my trip through the Netherlands, Germany, France, Luxembourg, and Belgium. It's located right in the heart of Ghent's scenic riverfront, a World Heritage site, one of Europe's top ten design hotels, and on the list of the world's top 100 hotels! Staying here, it truly lives up to its reputation. It's incredibly well-designed, opulent, a genuine antique with a strong sense of culture and history. The classic Baroque style is evident, and the furniture and decor are all traditional European. It exudes the luxurious feel of an ancient European palace! The breakfast was also excellent, especially the breakfast restaurant, which has fantastic views!

Big and clean rooms, great location (right next to a tram station) and view outside the window. High quality slippers provided. Not so expensive compared to other hotels in Ghent. Warm welcome with lots of gifts. The structure of the building and the room is very interesting. Drawbacks: A little bit dark inside at night. The window could not be closed completely. Some of the rooms have a toilet downstairs and sink upstairs, which is not convenient (I pointed this out and they quickly changed my room without extra charge). It took the reception at least 10 mins to find my stored luggage when leaving.

The room wasn't huge, but the layout was sensible and perfectly adequate. The staff's service awareness and attitude were excellent! The front desk staff were very enthusiastic, helping with luggage, and any request was addressed immediately with someone coming to the room to resolve it after just one phone call.

Centrally located in the old town, right by the Pont Saint-Michel and the River Lez, the bustling surroundings are undeniable. Bus and tram stops are conveniently located right out back; I'd recommend taking public transport from the train station. The hotel itself evokes a castle-like feel, stepping into a centuries-old historic building, which can feel a bit dark and oppressive. The staff were decent, but you have to ask them to help with luggage, as there's a small set of steps between the ground floor and the elevator. The room didn't have toiletries, but the decor was thoughtfully arranged. The room was on the smaller side, but acceptable.

Right outside the hotel is the liveliest square, the service was excellent, and the hotel itself has a lot of character.

The facilities and service are great! It would be perfect if there was a small sink downstairs.
