“great atmosphere!”

Very large room (we stayed in the guest house, not convent rooms). Large very nice shower, great toiletries. Make sure you peek in the chapel!

“Nunntastic!”

Absolutely superb and quite a bargain. The hotel is an extremely well done monastry conversion. Nice bathroom with shiny fittings, yet the room & rest of the place still quite austere and full of nunnery atmosphere. Wandering around, I came across the chapel and large quantities of assorted sculpture.

“Go there for something different”

I suppose this hotel is below average for room standards - bath with a chip in the enamel, cheap wardrobe, only one chair, old windows, hose type shower. However the bed was very comfortable and everything worked so no big deal. The drawbacks for me were easily outweighed by the positives. It's an ex monastry and it shows. The owners make the most of it by playing lovely mosastic music, and run religious seminars in the old chapel - that doubled as a bar one night we were there. We ate in on one night and that was an absolute delight. The breakfasts are good and there is a nice shady enclosed garden - popular place for a drink in the evenings. It is an easy walk to all the sights and the tram to the station too. A nice mix of people when we were there. Definitely not a bulk standard hotel and all the better for it.

“A good choice for Ghent”

A very comfortable hotel in a beautiful building, perfectly located for central Ghent. Very helpful bi-lingual staff and excellent value for money.

“Faded Gothic Splendour”

The description probably is slightly fanciful, since the current building was rebuilt following the French invasion in the mid 19th century. Hence expect long echoing corrodors, high ceilings, noisy uncarpeted wooden staircases and a fairly gloomy interior. That said, I really enjoyed my stay, the room was large, quiet and comfortably furnished, albeit everything had been well used. Staff were knowledgeable, courteous and anxious to assist, whilst the breakfast buffet was of a good standard. My stay was mid week, so many of the function rooms were in use, especially the church which gave a pleasant liveliness to it all. Location is good, within an easy five minute walk of the town centre, whilst by car it is on the inner Ghent ring. There is adequate parking on site. Yes I shall be returning.

“Basic hotel but great value for money”

Classic styling, but nicely looked after. As an asthma sufferer I was fine there (always a concern in this type of hotel for me) Great value for the money.

“basic, but good service and location”

Good clean room, fairly basic (but good for price, especially as I was upgraded to a double room from single at no extra cost). Interesting building, but I was in a room right by the front entrance with a door opening into outdoor archway, so a bit noisy. Very handy for main part of old town, as it is only a few minutes walk away.

“Characterful and quirky”

An interesting hotel: modern facilities close to the centre of Gent in a institutional building full of character. We'd happily go again.

“Good historical location in a beautiful historical city”

Great location and comfortable stay. Parking and breakfast were also excellent.

“Great for me but not for everyone”

Hotel in good location walkable to all the main sights. City under much re-construction at this writing many plazas and streets tore up. Hotel unusual in being an old monastery with lots of atmosphere, could be much better but I think they are working it. Rooms run the range ours was not remodeled but large and clean and fairly comfortable. Would stay there again without a doubt.
