Studio Spiegelhof

Tami is a warm and welcoming host who met us on arrival. The apartment is a perfect base for a couple to explore Ghent. It was well equipped, comfortable and very clean. Lovely modern bathroom.

Anyone with mobility issues might struggle with the stairs (not a problem for us at all though) and it is a 10/15 min walk to the Old Town so worth bearing in mind for those who prefer to be more central.

The place is clean and cosy. It's located in a residential area, very quiet and safe. BTW I like the owner's collection of books and CDs.

The heating was on and off in the night. So we felt quite chilly at times and I couldn't sleep very well for the first night. The hot water supply was also not very stable. My bf had a cold shower after me because it was running out of hot water. It might be a temporary issue but still not pleasant in a cold weather.

The apartment is beautifully appointed and in a quiet residential street. Loved all the small touches that made it feel homely. The owner was friendly on arrival, and even cooks delicious looking meals on site on selected days - the smells from the kitchen were divine although unfortunately never got the chance to try. Would definitely stay again if I ever came back to Gent.

The property is presentable and charming

Uncomfortable bed from ikea that sags in the middle. Apartment is at the top via 4 flights of steep stairs with 50cm width. Good luck transporting heavy luggage up. Unit is very cold and I think the heaters are centrally controlled even though there are radiators. I was not well so I felt even more sick the next day. Although it looked like there’s a kitchenette, there’s no stove. Location is not great. It’s quite a walk from the city centre. Also, I filtered for a place with a balcony and this came up, just that the balcony isn’t accessible directly from the room but rather is at another floor. That is just misleading. Finally I booked for 6 nights but moved out after 1 night as it’s not comfortable. Decided to forgo the rest of the nights and glad I did it. Managed to find a much nicer hotel in the city at the same price, so it made me feel that this apartment is overpriced. Lastly when I was about to leave, the main door electronic lock malfunctioned and I was locked in. I had to call the owner, who got her neighbour to open it from outside with a key. Really bad experience.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Studio Spiegelhof. The arrangements for entry/key collection and directions were very clear. I met the host, Tamara, on the last day and she was very friendly. The studio itself is spacious, well designed, tasteful and well equipped. I loved that there was a sound system, with CDs and LPs to play. It felt very homely. Transport links were excellent, including a tram to the station, plus there was a large supermarket a few minutes walk away. I will definitely book again next time I'm in Ghent!

Everything was excellent!

it was so cosy and cute and we loved our stay. wish we could’ve stayed longer
