Guest Reviews
- Roelof (10/5): The place to be in Ghent - Een geweldig appartement op een fantastische locatie.
Met uitzicht op het schitterende Gravensteen.
En niet te vergeten het warme welkom en gastvrijheid van de gastvrouw en gastheer. Niets
- Karel (10/5): Top - Prachtig en stijlvol appartement in historisch gebouw op een hele mooie locatie. Kan niet beter.
Erg aardige gastvrouw en gastheer! Niets.
- Koen (10/5): Niet twijfelen, gewoon boeken en gaan! - Knusse en gezellige loft met 2 slaapkamers. Ideaal voor onze trip. Midden in het hart van Gent in een eeuwenoud pand. Christian & Kay zijn ontzettend gastvrij en runnen deze b&b met veel liefde Had ook z’n charme maar op bepaalde plekken wat laag dus daar moet je proberen niet je hoofd te stoten
- Sonja (10/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): - Perfecte locatie! Alles op loopafstand, midden in het levendige gedeelte van de stad met een prachtig uitzicht. Onwijs vriendelijk ontvangst door de eigenaren van de B&B, de suite was gezellig en sfeervol ingericht, schoon en aan alles was gedacht! Heerlijke bedden en heel fijn met mooi weer een klein balkonnetje om even in de ochtend wakker te worden met een kop koffie. Echte aanrader hier te verblijven!
- Lheureux (10/5): -
- Liza (9/5): -
- Sheldon (10/5): -
- Marc (10/5): -
- PAULA (9/5): -
- Ralph (10/5): Geweldig -
- Jeannet (9/5): Gaan zeker nog eens terug! Een aanrader! - De locatie! Midden in het Centrum met het uitzicht op Kasteel Gravensteen. Super fijne en aardige beheerders echtpaar!
- Herman (9/5): -
- dimitri (10/5): Une suite chargée d'histoire pour le plus beau "OUI" de ma vie, orchestré par des hôtes en or. - Il y a des lieux où l'on passe, et d'autres qui nous marquent. Idéalement située, la suite de Kay et Christian est un écrin bourré d'histoire. Il faut prendre le temps d'écouter Kay raconter le passé de cette demeure, elle le fait avec une passion communicative.
C'était le décor rêvé pour ma demande en mariage, d'autant que Kay a été d'une aide inestimable pour tout préparer, s'investissant comme si c'était pour sa propre famille. C'est le reflet parfait de ce couple : une philosophie tournée vers l'autre, d'une humanité qui fait un bien fou.
Merci à vous deux d'avoir été les gardiens de ce souvenir précieux. Tout était parfait, de la grande Histoire des murs à la petite histoire que nous venions d'écrire.
Attention : après un séjour ici, les hôtels classiques vous paraîtront bien fades ! Le seul défaut de ce séjour ? Le moment où il a fallu rendre les clés et rentrer chez nous. Le retour à la réalité est un peu rude...
- Raoul (10/5): - We zijn ontzettend vriendelijk ontvangen en kregen leuke tips voor ons weekend in Gent. De ligging van de suite was ideaal. Vrijwel alles was op loopafstand. Daarnaast hebben we gebruik kunnen maken van de parkeergelegenheid. Het uitzicht vanuit de kamer is prachtig. We zouden deze suite zo nog een keer boeken!
- Shahnaz (10/5): The only place to stay in Ghent - This is the only place to stay in Ghent,
The suites are superb and spacious, the location is perfect and the hosts are so helpful.
Beautifully appointed suites.
- dominique (8/5): -
- Van De Kruijs (10/5): geweldige om te ervaren,. Alles op loopafstand, uitzicht geweldig - spontane verwelkoming, zeer mooie locatie zou het niet weten
- Bas (10/5): - Het zeer hartelijke ontvangst en de informatie vanuit de eigenaren! Ontzettend aardig en gastvrij!! Ook de suite en ligging waren super! Niets!
- Cameron (10/5): -
- Viona (10/5): -
- Drain (10/5): - This is a superb place to stay!
Our suite had a living area looking onto the square and castle. The bedroom looked out to a terrace with views of some of the spires.
It was spotlessly clean and impeccably finished with such good taste.
A real treat for us on our wedding anniversary.
The hosts were so welcoming and gave us recommendations for breakfast and a romantic anniversary meal.
All 5 star.!!!!! Nothing
- Danielle (9/5): Top verblijft gehad - Accommodatie van alle gemakken voorzien. Heerlijke bedden. Mooi uitzicht op Kasteel Gravensteen. Centraal gelegen dus alles te voet kunnen doen. Auto geparkeerd bij P&R Gentbrugge Arsenaal, daarna tram T2 en je staat recht voor de deur van de accommodatie.
- Marten (9/5): -
- coopman (10/5): Fantastisch!!! - Zalige suite… comfortabel bed en luxe kamer… vriendelijke uitbaters .. huiselijke sfeer … perfectie!!!
Perfecte locatie 🥰
Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!
- Ageeth (10/5): - Alles was perfect! De locatie de ruimte, het uitzicht, de zorgvuldigheid waarmee de suite was ingericht, de snoepjes op tafel en in de slaapkamer, de warme en informatieve manier waarop we werden ontvangen. Christian en Kay deden alles eraan om ons thuis te laten voelen en ons een onvergetelijk verblijf te bezorgen. Helemaal niets.
- Marlyne (9/5): Heerlijk geslapen in schitterend historisch pand van zeer lieve eigenaren. - Wat een prachtige historische locatie met een geweldig uitzicht aan beide kanten. Voor het Gravensteen en vanaf het achterterras de torens van Gent! We genoten van het mooie pand en ook van de zeer lieve eigenaren die ons hartelijk ontvingen en heel toegankelijk waren. Aan alles was gedacht wat de inrichting van onze suite betreft, zoals thee, wijnglazen en verschillende soorten hoofdkussens. Heel fijn ook op zo'n centrale locatie dat parkeergelegenheid beschikbaar was. Voor ons was niet vooraf duidelijk dat er geen ontbijt beschikbaar was bij deze B&B, dat bleek pas nadat we geboekt hadden. Dit ondanks foto's van het ontbijt en enthousiaste recensies waarin het ontbijt genoemd werd. Gelukkig werd wel een fijne lijst met ontbijt-adresjes geadviseerd, waardoor we toch lekker ontbeten hebben, maar dus wel buiten de deur.
- Fiona (10/5): Beautiful suite in an amazing location right by the castle - Beautiful suite of rooms. You have a lovely bedroom with a spacious living area and the apartment we had also had a sun terrace. The room have coffee and tea facilities as well as a fridge. The bed was super comfortable. The shower fantastic. The location is right in the middle of the old town by the castle so lots of bars and restaurants nearby. If the window are open you hear the noise of the bars but the bedroom is at the back and is surprisingly quiet. The hosts could not be more helpful. I would definitely stay there again. The wifi was a bit slow but otherwise everything was amazing
- Rebecca (8/5): - Really amazing location. Wonderful hosts. Interesting historical building. A true gem. Would definitely come back. Clean linens. Comfy bed. The view of the castle from the room was amazing. Some furniture was a bit dated and had stains.
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional stay in a perfect setting - Everything was absolutely perfect. The rooms were exceptional - clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location opposite the castle was epic. Christian and Kay were lovely hosts.
- Helen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gregor (10/5): Every detail is perfect.Book this !! - You will not find a better place to stay in Ghent.
The location is incredible and the bed and linen need a special mention..perfection
Gorgeous hosts .
- Brenda (10/5): Fabulous- would recommend to our friends to definitely stay here. - The flat was so spacious and comfy. Location was perfect! Easy walk to everything and very atmospheric being right in front of the castle! Christian and Kay were lovely hosts - very helpful and welcoming. Nothing
- Mike (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patrick (10/5): A fantastic place to stay in a beautiful city with a lot to discover - De Waterzooi is simply a wonderful B&B. Excellent location with a view on the castle with easy access to anything in the centre of the city. Personal welcome by the owners with a guided tour of the amenities by the lady of the house. Every detail is being taken care of and this with a lot of taste to please your general wellbeing. In the morning you will be be able to enjoy a superb breakfast with fresh and homemade products. We simply loved it and this includes the wonderful hosts of the Waterzooi. Every detail was taken care of, so there was nothing to not like.
- James (10/5): Beautiful stay in the most central part of Ghent; perfect location for a trip to Belgium! - B&B De Waterzooi is perfectly situated in Ghent; centrally located, near to the tourist information and with all the amenities you could want for a relaxing stay! Would highly highly recommend.
- Jerry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Velimir (10/5): A little slice of magic in Ghent - Christian and Kay have made a little slice of magic in Ghent with their B&B. From the "reception" in the common room of their apartment in the building, their warmth and welcoming words, the sedate elevator that took us to the 3rd floor, the smell of old wood, fresh river air and books, it immediately relaxed us after a long drive from the Hague. The 3rd floor apartment we took was something else as well - the view at the castle in front, the balcony that looks over the river and the church steeples in the back, chairs, sofas and beds you can immediately fall asleep in, all impecably clean...
Kay told us that it is rare we can get a single night available on such short notice, but I am glad we did. Would recommend it to everyone, no matter how many times you visited Ghent!
- James (10/5): Wonderful place with lovely hosts in a perfect location to experience Gent. - Perfect location
Comfortable, very stylish accommodation
Amazing breakfast
Charming and helpful hosts. Nothing, the location, accommodation and hosts were fantastic
- Richard (10/5): Christian & Kay go out of their way to make your stay perfect- they think of absolutely everything . - Everything There was absolutely nothing that you could fault
- Becca (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful B&B, great location and fantastic hosts
- David (10/5): Best place in Ghent - Rooms were big, comfy and fantastic. Bathrooms were great. The breakfast was wonderful. Fabulous view of Gravensteen Castle right out the window with many great restaurants near by. That I could not stay longer.
- Janine (10/5): One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed, and the hosts are lovely. Everything was thought of. - Beautiful architecture and interior design, best location ever, right in the midst of all Ghent landmarks. Wonderful breakfast as well. Nothing not to like!
- Maxine (10/5): Beautiful apartment in an amazing location - Amazing location, beautiful interior and extremely well equipped. Everything was thought of, from toiletries to a sewing kit (which I had need of!). Bathroom was to die for, huge bath and rain shower. The hosts were really welcoming and informative. The view from the lounge was unbelievable - looks like a film set. Ghent was a complete surprise - so beautiful and loads to explore - traffic-free but watch out for the bikes! It was all excellent so if I had just one tiny gripe - the cups were very small (coming from Yorkshire we like big cups of tea!).
- David (10/5): Perfection! - Our room was spacious and cosy! There is nothing they have not thought of. Kay and Christian are extremely welcoming, make sure to indulge in breakfast as it is perfection. The bed was so comfortable and we were so comfortable relaxing in the lounge room. All this whilst enjoying the most incredible view of Gravensteen Castle!
- John (10/5): A perfect weekend - Everything was perfect! The best location in town, a beautiful house, terrific breakfast and delightful hosts
- Chris (10/5): Fantastic property, great location and wonderful hosts -
- Gary (10/5): This is a superb place to stay, beautifully decorated, no detail has been overlooked. Our room overlooked the castle and - Location, decor, hosts
- Paul (10/5): A Bed & Breakfast experience of a lifetime! - There isn't a better location or property in all of Ghent. As first-time visitors, it was perfectly located to the Tram, Boats, the Castle, more restaurants than you can imagine and an easy 5+ minute walk to just about everything else. Breakfast which is served by Kay could be its own attraction. Food was fresh, beautifully prepared and became a memorable highlight of our entire trip. The rooms and entire ambiance was impeccable. Every design and detail had Kay's touch on it. Normally where we stay on vacation if often forgotten but in the case of our stay with Christian & Kay it was an unexpected experience which will now be a lifelong memory!! Absolutely nothing...perfect 10 experience.
- Aimee (10/5): Amazing stay in a beautiful apartment that was centrally located! - Location and accommodations were perfect.
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic in every way Nothing
- David (10/5): Perfect - The location was absolutely perfect. You will not find better. Christian and Kay could not have been more welcoming. The suite was perfect. The previous reviews were totally justified. If the worst fault you can find is a chipped saucer, its tells you just how perfect this place is!
- Grant (10/5): central, sophisticated, well-equipped - everything had been thought of for our stay
- Hannah (10/5): Breathtaking castle views and exceptional accommodations! - De Waterzooi was such a lovely place to stay! We stayed in the 1st floor suite and it far exceeded our expectations. The view you won't believe it until you see it! The castle looked fake almost through the large windows. Location was perfect. The room was beyond spacious with a huge living area with very comfortable sectional couch and amazing views of the castle. The bedroom was cozy and the bed was memory foam with controls for each side to adjust height. The rain shower was great. We also had a private terrace with lounge chairs that was lovely to sit on and enjoy a glass of wine and Belgian beers! Above all the owners were so kind and accommodating. The breakfast is worth the extra charge. It was by far the best breakfast we received all trip. We even received a parting gift which was a lovely touch. Would absolutely stay here again if I'm lucky enough to return to Ghent. I can't think of anything - it was that wonderful!
- Kerstin (10/5): Exceptional - It was an extraordinary stay. Warm and friendly welcome. Beautiful suite with an unbelievable view. Breakfast was one of the best we've ever had. We were so happy ! Big thanks once again ! Nothing ! All was perfect !
- Joe (10/5): Beautiful Blend of Modern and Medieval - Phenomenal! The staff were exceptional, giving great advice about the area and providing delicious breakfast.
The B&B is in a fantastic location, with views of Gravensteen and easy walking or tram access to much of the city.
The bed was very comfortable, and the lounge boasted a lovely sofa, good-sized TV, and warm lighting.
Due to the weather, we didn't make much use of the balcony sun-loungers, but we'd love to try them in the future.
The medieval stonework blended wonderfully into modern features, and our apartment felt beautifully romantic. Would highly recommend and hope to return one day! Nothing, it was magical
- Simpim (10/5): The perfect weekend - Everything! The suite was exceptional, from comfort to cleanliness. The owners were incredible too and would do anything to help!
- Matteo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place. Room very comfortable with lovely views of the castle.
- Kaisha (10/5): Perfect - This is one of our most favorite accommodations we have stayed at. It's luxurious, well-located, comfortable, etc.!
Having the bonus sitting room was a huge plus, and the views of the castle across the street were great. The noise (not bad considering really) is even less due to the door separating the bedroom from the sitting room - literally could not ask for better. The decor is so beautiful and just brings the feeling of relaxation into mind! The tub is amazing and providing bath bubbles was a step beyond incredible.
Some of the nicest hosts too, who go well above and beyond. I cannot stress enough how much extra they put into their hosting.
We have already told multiple friends of this place and some that are even considering staying when they take a trip to Ghent.
- Anonymous (10/5): brilliant -
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (9/5): I would recommend staying here - The location can not be better, it's close to everything you need, bars and restaurants. The hosts are really nice people and very helpful. The breakfast was good, fine selection cheeses and meats.
- Pettersson (10/5): The best stay in all of Ghent! - The loveliest guesthouse we've ever stayed in! Kay & Christian are very welcoming and have designed a gorgeous house with the guest's best comfort in mind. The house itself is very unique and from your room (or rather suite) you have a gorgeous view onto the Gravensteen castle and square. The breakfast was super lovely, so I do recommend you having it! I hope we get an opportunity to come back, because this stay was the absolute best! There is actually nothing to say - everything was perfect!
- Melissa (10/5): Incredible apartment next to Gravensteen - Everything was impeccable and the location next to the castle is unbeatable.
- Wendeline (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pat (10/5): Absolutely brilliant, best location - The breakfasts were fantastic, the owners put there soul into everything she made Not a thing
