1898 The Post

Gorgeous charming hotel with excellent service!

Beautiful hotel with perfect view of a cathedral from our twin room. Hotel is in a historic building with lovely architectural features by the canal and the room we were in was a cleverly designed "duplex" with the bathroom and sinks on the upper floor (ie loft) which made full use of the almost double volume ceiling in the smallish twin room we were in. The only drawback was that the steps were narrow and steep and would pose a problem if one had mobility issues. The toilet was located by the door next to the entrance but there was no sink for handwashing. Alcohol gel in a pump bottle was provided. There is a café, lifestyle / clothes shop and supermarket in the same building. Very convenient and the hotel's location was walkable to all the sights in Ghent central. The front desk staff were very polite and gracious and allowed us to store our luggage when we arrived before 11am, since check-in was strictly at 4pm. We were happy to find that our suitcases had been already delivered to our room when we returned to the hotel at 4pm. There are 2 bars in the hotel - one which is open to the public which was buzzing in the evenings and a guest-only "Honesty Bar" (1st photo) in which hotel guests could purportedly help themselves to liquor and pen down what they had imbibed - but I never saw anyone in it ! This could be due to a lack of ice or mixers. Or glasses. 🍸

It’s the best hotel by far. Great location with a supermarket right below and a 2-minute walking distance to a train station. Lovely view and beautiful hotel. Worth every penny.

The hotel is in a historic building and centrally located in Ghent. It is walkable to all major sightseeing destinations. Our room has a beautiful view of St Nicholas Church, and the square in front. The room was quite stylishly decorated with high ceiling but the. Shower and wash basin are on the upper level. Maybe inconvenient for some people. At least the toilet is on the same level as the entrance. My room was a bit small, only suitable to have two cabin size luggage opened at the same time. Overall it is a lovely hotel and really added to our two days stay in Ghent.

客房略小，但是由於是古建築現代化改造的也可以理解。地理位置而言在根特算最好的了，樓下就是超市，對面還有麥當勞，以及根特唯一的出租車上專用上車點，方便去火車站。酒店的早餐唯一優勢就是時間比較早，相比外面的早餐店。總之早去根特還是會選這家店。

環境真的太棒了！因為這家酒店，對根特有了興趣，遠遠超過設想。是個會希望再去的地方。 永遠都會記得，打開窗，看到樓下穿梭的人羣，教堂鐘聲響起，如同在19世紀的畫裏。
