1898 The Post

Es ist, als würde man in Hogwarts leben, so cool! Der Waggon ist ein Maisonette-Zimmer mit Fenster zur Kirche. Sie können den Sonnenaufgang beobachten, während Sie frühmorgens im Bett liegen. Tagsüber können Sie unten sitzen, eine Kanne Tee kochen und auf der Straße singen. Perfekter geht es nicht. Das einzige Problem ist, dass es ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude ist und man einen starken Mann braucht, um das Gepäck rein und raus zu tragen, hahahaha🤣

Die Lage ist sehr praktisch, und die Sehenswürdigkeiten sind bequem zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Hotel ist ein sehr charakteristisches altes Postamt. Das Frühstück ist hervorragend. Es ist ein lohnendes Erlebnis, das den Charme und die verträumte Atmosphäre von Gent unterstreicht.

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. 🍸
