Guest Reviews
- Thijme (9/5): Super fijn en top locatie - Locatie Geen opmerkingen
- GERALD (7/5): - The location was actually perfect period very simplistic modern and secure. A very beautiful space modern and simplistic. While confusing security setup with three different locks to get in from the street was a bit awkward at the unit door. A special notation if you're taking a cab you've got to be dropped off at either end because it is a pedestrian Street. Since we personally own rental units, having wine glasses or glasses of any kind in addition to clean x, microwave and a writing desk would be valuable asset. All and all we enjoyed our stay and would return! Did it meet our expectations
- Isis (9/5): Ruime, fijne kamer in een relaxte ligging! - Ruime kamer en heel schoon! De sloten met codes waren heel makkelijk te gebruiken en gaf ook een fijn gevoel! De badkamer was groot met een fijne douche!
- Judith (9/5): Geweldige ligging, comfortabele kamer en rustig! - De ligging in het hart van Gent is perfect! Overal terasjes en eetgelegenheid op korte loopafstand. In ons verblijf was niet merkbaar dat we midden in het centrum van een levendige stad verbleven: heel stil en rustig.
Perfect dat we middels eem code al voor de inchecktijd onze spullen veilig konden achterlaten.
(We hadden wel best tijd nodig om te ontdekken dat de toegang van de poort via een verborgen luikje/klepje boven de deurklink van de poort zat)
Wij parkeerden onze auto in "Reep" garage € 44,50 voor circa 27uur parkeren. We hebbdn circa 6 minuten gelopen naar het hotel. Parkeergarage "Vrijdagmarkt" is dichter bij maar die was vol.
Wij zaten in de roze kamer op de 2 etage met hele grote badkamer voorzien van ruime douche, bad en dubbele wastafel. Er was een waterkoker en koffiezetapparaat en minikoelkastje aanwezig en extra hoofdkussens in de kast. Het bed was zeer comfortabel. Ondanks dat we hebben genoten en deze accomodatie absoluut aanraden hebben we nog wat tips ter verbetering;
De afzuiging in de badkamer maakt erg veel lawaai. We misten een aantal dingen: roerhoutjes of koffie-lepels om de suiker in de thee en koffie te mengen. Een afvalbakje in de kamer om prullen en koffiepads-theezakjes weg te gooien. Een kapstok in hal voor onze jas en naast de
douche een haakje om de handdoek op te hangen.
Tip voor de housekeepers: check of de koelkast leeg/schoon is
- Roovers - van Rijen (9/5): -
- Els (10/5): - Topaccomodotie op toplocatie in hartje Gent.
Wij komen zeker terug...een aanrader
- nancy (10/5): - Goede locatie midden in het centrum, duidelijke omschrijving om toegang te hebben , mooie propere moderne kamer Niets
- Jessica (10/5): Perfect stay in Ghent - The location is excellent, perfect for exploring Ghent on foot. The check in process was very smooth, and the communication was great too. The apartment is clean and comfortable with everything you need and great blackout curtains. We could even see the river from our room. Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Ghent!
- Marianne van Gemert (10/5): -
- Cody (9/5): Spacious stay in the heart of Ghent - Excellent location near to all the sights and just off the canal. Despite being so close to everything, it was a quiet place to stay - the patio was a really nice touch. The shower is also amazing. Very limited equipment. There was no cutlery, only 2 cups for coffee, and only 1 wine glass found in the wardrobe. The coffee machine, fridge, and kettle were fine, though.
- Robert (10/5): Geweldig mooi appartement en een goed contact met de eigenaren - Het was super schoon en in het centrum.parkeren kan dichtbij in de parkeergarage.alles is op loopafstand.het appartement is ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien.echt een aanrader. Alles was goed
- Iris (10/5): -
- Melvin (10/5): -
- Claudia (8/5): Fijne ruime lokatie, super schoon en comfortabel. Uitstekende communicatie. - Lokatie midden in centrum en bagagekast na uitscheiden ken. Kussens en putlucht.
- Salomé (9/5): -
- Mike (8/5): Very good overall. - Location and security Probably lacking a little in terms of being able to have breakfast. No bowls, plates or cutlery.
- Beth (10/5): Fantastic stay in the heart of the city. - This location was perfect to explore Ghent. It was right in the center but hidden as well and very quiet. The room and bathroom were quite large. It had everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable! We also had a view of the river.
- Danielle (8/5): -
- Josema (8/5): Genial! Muy buena estancia! - Ubicación y las estancias! La almohada…muy baja
- Marianne van Gemert (10/5): Een rustgevend paradijsje midden in het bruisende Gent. - De locatie is fantastisch en ondanks de ligging in een drukke winkelstraat is het super rustig en stil in de kamer. De accommodatie is prachtig gerenoveerd en heel ruim. Het bed is ook erg goed. Niets. De kabel van de waterkoker was wat te kort, maar dat is een klein detail.
- Beata (8/5): Modern and very clean apartment in a prime central location - Location
V clean and modern apartment
Nice welcome info from the owners
Able to leave luggage before check-in time Not able to use soap/shampoo when using a bath as bottles fixed to the wall in other parts of the bathroom
Lumpy pillows
- Martin (9/5): -
- Damian (9/5): EXCELENTE UBICACION - La amplitud de lahabitacion por el tamaño de la habitacion podria incluir servicios como micro ondas o una mini estacion de cocina
- de Bruin (9/5): Fijne locatie en appartement vol comfort - De locatie maar ook omdat het er super schoon was Gehorig. De gasten boven ons hebben tot zeer laat herrie gemaakt en dat was goed hoorbaar
- Annick (10/5): Je recommande ! - Très bel hébergement, moderne, impeccable.Très bien situé.
- Cathy (10/5): Just perfect - Excellent choice in the heart of Ghent Nothing!
- Losada (10/5): - La comodidad y la cercanía al centro
- Deanna (10/5): - Lovely property in excellent location
Highly recommended
- Sergio (10/5): - Excellent location, very clean, nice bathroom The toilet does not have a sink to wash hands
- Geir (9/5): Great option for beautiful Ghent - It's a very cool place just off a bustling shopping street in one of the most beautiful areas of Ghent (and there are many beautiful areas there). Everything is well organized with codes for all doors and instructions are very clear. You never see anyone (sign of the times). The room is spacious and clean with a remarkable bathroom. I suggest cleaning up the trash in the little alley. It's probably not a lot of work but would make the surroundings so much nicer.
- Merel (9/5): -
- Youri (10/5): Geweldig en nacht om niet snel te vergeten - Het teras was optimaal Geen commentaar
- Bouwen (10/5): -
- Veerle (9/5): Prachtige suite - kamer , pal in het centrum v. Gent . Met zeer veel smaak ingericht. - Ligging , ruimte , prachtig ingericht
- Hilde (9/5): - Ligging, ruimte, netheid,... Niets. De open badkamer is misschien wel minder geschikt voor niet-koppels.
- Petya (8/5): -
- Liesbeth (8/5): -
- Arden (10/5): - Great spot, right in the heart of Ghent. Really handy, all digital codes so no annoying keys to carry around.
- Consolacion (9/5): -
- Jasmien (10/5): Perfect stay in a wonderful place at a great location. - The location is amazing, right in the city centre of Ghent. Yet it's a very quite space, located in a beautiful/scenic and well protected alley. It's the second time I booked this spot for a work trip so I experienced two different rooms and they were both very tidy, clean, comfortable and nicely designed.
It's very easy that check-in and check-out are with entry codes so you're not depending on anyone for your arrival or departure.
Nice bathroom, small fridge, very convenient. I don't have any remarks, for me it's the perfect place to stay when you're in Ghent.
- Sebastien (8/5): -
- Sheung Chit (10/5): Very clean and comfortable stay - Excellent condition, very comfortable place, well maintained and very clean. Excellent location, very close to the city centre but quiet enough to have a good night sleep. Nothing.
- Robin (10/5): -
- Claude & Josiane (8/5): - La chambre était spacieuse et l'équipement très complet. Rien à signaler.
- TORRES MORALES (10/5): Excelente ubicación - La habitación se ve reformada y es muy amplia. Lo que más me gustó fue el baño porque dispone de bañera y de ducha.
La ubicación es ideal, en pleno centro. Cerca de todo con mucha variedad de restaurantes y tiendas pero en la habitación no se escucha nada. Totalmente silencioso. Las almohadas, son demasiado blandas.
- Inge (9/5): Excellent stay! - Location. Very clean and smelled nice. When you shower you need to open a window for the ventilation in the shower isn't enough.
- Philipp (10/5): -
- Tim (10/5): Parfait - Très beau Rien
- Rocio (10/5): Acogedora y con buena ubicación. - Lo nuevo y bonito que era, estaba super limpio y el baño nos encantó.
- Yu Ke (7/5): -
- Alen (10/5): - De ruimte en sfeer Een persoonlijk onthaal ipv codes was fijn geweest (hadden dit anders verwacht bij booking)
- Amaury (8/5): -
- Masi (10/5): -
- Oana Isabela (10/5): Nice place to stay - The location is close to everything you must see in Ghent. You can visit the main attractions and also find nice places to eat just around the corner.
The hosts are really organised and will give you all the necessary details you need about your stay.
The place is clean, organised, you have everything you need for a couple of days.
- Koen (9/5): Leuk verblijf - Ligging en comfort Kussens
- Bels (10/5): -
- Aristotelis (5/5): Although the room is in a good location, appears to be relatively recently renovated, and has potential, it falls far sh - The room was comfortable, quiet, and in a good location. The biggest issue with the room was cleanliness. It is unacceptable not to carry out at least a proper cleanliness check of the bathroom. Beyond that, the room generally needed much more careful cleaning, as hair, stains on the sheets, a dirty fridge, dust, and visible cobwebs indicated careless and superficial cleaning.
Regarding communication, the owner was absent throughout our stay, did not reply to the Booking chat (to the only question we asked), and showed no interest in addressing any needs.
As for amenities, they were almost non-existent, and we had to buy everything ourselves, such as soap and toilet paper. The Wi-Fi connection was mediocre to poor, and the room is definitely not suitable for anything beyond sleeping and showering.
- KONSTANTINOS (10/5): - Πολύ πολύ καλό και πολύ προσεγμένο! Πολύ ασφαλές, με τέλεια διαρρύθμιση,
- Nina (10/5): Very safe and cozy! - At first I was skeptical because it was in a gated alleyway, but I have never felt safer in this property. It was very secure, clean, and cozy. It felt luxurious and the owners were very clear on instructions. I would pick this place as my stay in Ghent any time I visit now! Highly recommended. Nothing negative.
- Cristina (10/5): Comodidad y amabilidad - La ubicación es perfecta,muy cerca de todo.El apartamento es muy amplio,estaba muy limpio y con muy buena temperatura.Las instrucciones para el check-in muy fáciles.Todo ha sido muy cómodo Nada
- Leonie (10/5): Heerlijk verblijf gehad in deze prachtige accommodatie op een toplocatie in het prachtige oude centrum van Gent - Goede locatie, heel ruime en mooie kamer. Fijne badkamer -
- Tine (9/5): - Mooie kamer. Ik voelde me veilig door de code aan de poort, de voordeur en de kamerdeur. De kast om je bagage te stockeren is echt handig. Ideale ligging. Wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf. We hadden even een momentje dat we putjesgeur roken op de kamer.
- André Koelemeijer (10/5): - Simply wonderful.
- PILAR (8/5): Perfecto para recorrer Gante - Muy céntrico, cómodo y bonito , cama king size estaba fenomenal Una tontería sería poner jabón de manos
- Ronga (7/5): In ogni caso il soggiorno è stato molto piacevole - La posizione è centralissima; ottima anche la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli oltre l'orario di ripartenza. Le indicazioni che ci erano state fornite per raggiungere il b&b non erano complete quindi è stato molto complicato capire che tram dovessimo prendere e in quale direzione.
Peccato non avere la colazione.
- Natacha (8/5): Joli cocon au centre de Gand - Proximité du centre, calme, spacieux, bien équipé, moderne
- Umut (10/5): - Niks op aan te merken👌🏽 ideale ligging in het centrum van Gent
- Mark (9/5): Gepetto’s provided us with comfortable and spacious accommodation in the heart of Old Town Ghent. - Very comfortable and secure apartment in a prime location in the Old Town. Simple online check-in and good communication from the owners with instructions for both entry and departure.
- Miguel Angel (10/5): - La tranquilidad estando en pleno centro. El apartamento era precioso, espacioso y luminoso.
- Manoudakis (9/5): -
- Caroline (7/5): Heel goed maar verbeterpuntjes - Locatie is top! Het is ook een zeer ruim en mooi verzorgd appartement! Er waren weinig voorzieningen (glazen,…). Er was ook slechts 1 (zeer slap) hoofdkussen, geen extra kussens te vinden. Daarnaast hing er ook een rioolgeurtje in het appartement. Er kwam dan wel iemand van het personeel ontstopper in de lavabo’s doen, maar dan ging er een zeer chemische geur.
- Jean Luc (10/5): Je recommande ce séjour. Calme reposant spacieux propre chaleureux agréable et très équipé -
- thierry (9/5): - Bien situé propre lumineux accès sécurisé . Matelas trop mou pour moi hélas
- weitzenfeld (8/5): - Propre et bien située Dommage il n'y a pas de personnel
- Bv Dr Chantal (10/5): Top! - Ruim clean toplocatie Vrij veel communicatie berichtjes. Op zich wel top geregeld. Maar ik moest wel wat zoeken tussen alle berichtjes waar alles stond. Zo las ik erover waar de deur terug in lock modus moest ( waarvoor excuses :-))
- Michelle (10/5): Jammer dat we maar één nacht hebben geboekt. - Heel ruim en schoon en midden in het centrum!
- jose (9/5): - Super amplia estancia, muy limpia y acogedora en una ubicación céntrica para poder ver la ciudad a pie sin problemas.
- Daan (9/5): Veel ruimte, chique en midden in het centrum! - De locatie en de ruimte is perfect! Net iets te laat met de code vrijgeven maar is uiteindelijk netjes opgelost!
- Marilyn (9/5): Fantastic location within walking distance from all the fun spots in lovely Ghent! - Perfect location, so very clean, roomy … great communication. That shower !! Not a thing.
- Elias (10/5): -
- GILL (6/5): It provided a base for a stay in Ghent. - Lovely decor, very comfy bed, wet room, spotlessly clean. Only one pillow each, no crockery/cutlery. Lights complicated to work and the one in the toilet didn’t work at all.
Despite saying there was tea and coffee there were only three teabags.
No instructions for safe or heating.
- Alan (7/5): -
- Bart (10/5): - Zeer rustige en mooie accommodatie midden in het centrum
- Marianna (9/5): - Tο δωμάτιο ήταν πάρα πολύ άνετο, ευρύχωρο, φωτεινό, καθαρό και πολύ μοντέρνο με πολύ ωραίο φωτισμό. Είχε σίδερο για ρούχα, βραστήρα και εσπρεσιέρα καθώς και ένα μικρό ψυγειάκι.
Το γεγονός ότι βρίσκεται στο κέντρο της πόλης είναι ένα πολύ μεγάλο συν. Συγκεκριμένα βρίσκεται δίπλα σε έναν από τους πιο εμπορικούς δρόμους της Γάνδης χωρίς όμως να επηρεάζει την ηρεμία του καταλύμματος.
Μείναμε τρομερά ικανοποιημένοι με την επιλογή του δωματίου. Είχαμε κλείσει το δωμάτιο που βρισκόταν στο ισόγειο και επομένως δεν γινόταν να αφήσουμε το παράθυρο ανοιχτό για λόγους ασφαλείας. Το παράθυρο βλέπει σε ένα μικρό δρομάκι πολύ ήσυχο και είναι με αμμοβολή, οπότε απέξω δεν φαίνεται το δωμάτιο. Ωστόσο αν υπάρχει διαθεσιμότητα να κλείσετε κάποιο δωμάτιο σε όροφο να το προτιμήσετε (να σημειωθεί ότι δεν υπάρχει ασανσέρ στο κατάλυμμα).
- Amanda (9/5): Really brilliant place to stay in the heart of the city -
- Andreas (8/5): Mooi, ruim in het centrum van Gent. - Ideale plaats om in het centrum van Gent te logeren en je wat meer ruimte wil tov een klassiek hotel. Precies een appartement zonder keuken, met ruime bad- en slaapkamer.
- Jalyssa (9/5): Fantastische plek! - Super locatie! Als ik dan een suggestie mag doen is het stevigere bedden. Ze zijn wat ingezakt. Wellicht is dat gewoon het matras en is het persoonlijke voorkeur
- Marcel (9/5): Good spot to stay - Perfect stay for a weekend (or longer) to explore Ghent. You are in the middle of the city and can reach all locations just on your feet.
The apartment also offers the possibility of escaping the city for a small break in between your exploration. Nothing that is worth mentioning.
- Bernhard (10/5): -
- Pierre (7/5): Gezellig en midden een drukke winkelstraat, dichtbij alle mooie huizen.... - De doucheruimte en toch de mogelijkheid om het deurvenster volledig te kunnen openen om lucht te bekomen. Op gelijkvloers voelt het wat "gesloten" ruimte .... misschien wat minder aangenaam als accomodatie met terras op het eerste verdiep.
- fleur (10/5): Super verblijf op een hele fijne locatie! - Midden in het centrum
- Melanie (10/5): Perfektes Hotel für einen Gent- Besuch - Super zentrale Lage, zuverlässige Parkmöglichkeiten, geschmackvolle Ausstattung, piccobello sauber. Da kann ich nichts nennen!
- Thalia (10/5): Fantastisch ruim appartement midden in het centrum - De ligging was perfect, het appartement was mega ruim en heel netjes. Niks.
- Karina (10/5): Zentraler geht’s nicht - tolles Zimmer - Das Gepettos liegt absolut zentral – zentraler geht’s wirklich nicht. Der kontaktlose Check-in funktioniert völlig reibungslos, alle nötigen Informationen bekommt man rechtzeitig zugeschickt. Unser Zimmer im Erdgeschoss war riesig, sodass wir sogar den Fahrradanhänger mit hineinnehmen konnten. Alternativ steht er auch sicher direkt vor dem Zimmer hinter dem Tor.
Durch das Tor gelangt man direkt auf die Einkaufsstraße und ist mitten im Herzen von Gent. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich, die Lage ist perfekt. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder – vielen Dank für diesen tollen Ort!
- Caroline (10/5): Un emplacement idéal au cœur de Gand - L’emplacement
Le confort moderne du logement
La salle de bains géante
La terrasse
Les supers adresses communiquées par des hôtes très disponibles réactifs et charmants Rien tout était parfait
- Pierre (7/5): Goed verblijf met alle comfort. - De doucheruimte Appartement op gelijkvloers heeft slechts enkele vensters. Het voelt een beetje eng.
- Alessandro (8/5): Nice place, but NO PARKING! - Nice room. Central location. Comfortable bed. Easy access with codes. The place is referred to as if it has a parking. I chose it specifically after filtering "parking" on Booking, because I was traveling by car. However, it is in a pedestrian area and you cannot even reach it by car. So why would you list the facility as if it has a parking?? I could have chosen a different one and save the money of the public subterranean parking for the weekend.
I received so many extremely long messages with instructions and recommendations, that I ended up asking a recap to chatgpt.
- Alex (10/5): - The property was stunning. Looks recently renovated. Super spacious and open. We would definitely come back
- Maja (10/5): Godne polecenia. Super lokalizacja! - Lokalizacja, czystość obiektu. Wszystko było super.
- Miriam (8/5): Tolle Unterkunft direkt in Gent und perfekt für einen Kurztrip - Lage, Einrichtung, Preis-Leistung Da gibt es gar nichts zu beanstanden
