"Great unusual hotel in great location"

9.0

Unusual being a previous monastery. Staff were very helpful

Some fore doors slam so be prepared for noise.

"A pretty magical place to stay in Ghent"

10.0

Beautiful converted monastery with basic but comfortable rooms. The shared bathrooms were clean and convenient. All the staff were friendly and professional. The church is worth a look, too.

They could maybe do with some new pillows, but otherwise no complaints.

Fantastic setting in an old monastery with loads of character. The old chapel is well worth a look.

Amazing location, super close to everything. You can walk or take tram/bus from main station very easily. The building is gorgeous if a little confusing to navigate. The single rooms have a sink in the room and then a separate shared shower and toilet (which is inside a gorgeous spiral staircase).

"Great location and very friendly staff"

9.0

The location was very nice - in the city center but in a calmer area. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I liked the fact that the showers and toilets were separate instead of cabins like it often is. The room was simple - as expected - but it had all I needed for my stay. Big plus for the bath robes and change of towels. The hotel was also very clean.

There was an issue with my room ( a busted window) when I checked-in but it was solved by the staff and they were very quick and efficient about it so it wasn't really a big issue in the end I didn't like it that the light from the corridor was visible from the glass panel above my door - it was a bit annoying at night. The building also carries the noise - but that's to be expected in an old building.

"Quiet and calming, as though the spirits of the sisters who once lived there were welcoming me home."

5.0

I stayed in a cell built for a nun. The windows had gothic arches and it was quite narrow. It had its own sink

The handle on the toilet door down the hallway was broken
