Guesthouse PoortAckere Ghent

Such a special location to visit and stay at! The place has a great ambience. Important to expect the shared showers as it's not for everyone, but it was fine for me. There are slippers and a bathrobe to use as you walk between the bedroom and bathroom. I really enjoyed the stay.

Location and service

Very noisy doors to access the toilet in the corridor hearing everything and everyone since 6 am, could not sleep very well. Some toilets did not have a lock.

This is an old monastery that's why the facilities are on the floor. The building is amazing, very beautiful, it is not far from city center on the quite street. It can be a bit noisy from the corridor though

It meets expectations and quite nice stay for a night to explore Ghent

Simple accommodation (it's an old monastery, after all!) but a strong sense of history and great location. Small comfortable room with sink. Shared showers and toilet but never had to wait and they were clean. Great for the solo traveller wanting to explore Ghent. The breakfast was truly outstanding with lots of hot and cold options. Lovely dining area. Looks like it's also set up to host conferences. Would definitely stay there again.

excellent location

For the price of the room I was very satisfied. The fittings in the room were practical and nicely done, and it still felt like I was in an old monastery.

The mosquito repellant in the room was not filled and I was bitten 7 times. Because the room was shaded for most of the day it was the side with the most insects and even with the windows shut I still ended up squashing mosquitoes in my room every night. But I recognise that there is little the hotel could do about this apart from providing more repellant.

The Character of the Monastery

It had no AC in rooms and it was very hot .
