1898 The Post

Perfect location in the middle of it all and a short walk to everything. Beautiful property which hosts probably the most upscale bar in all of Ghent. I highly recommend this property for location, comfort, and overall ease of seeing Ghent by foot. Beautiful rooms, in room amenities, and attention to detail throughout the hotel decor.

Nothing, only caveat is the parking situation which is no fault of the hotel since Ghent is a low emission zone. For any travelers looking to drive into Ghent you must register your car online before arriving and then park in a public garage about 5-10 minute walk away from the hotel at around 20 euro per day. Not a big deal, just a heads up for any fellow drivers who aren’t familiar.

Very helpful staff. Nice bedroom. Lovely bar with view over the canal. Good breakfast. Excellent location and easy to get to from Eurostar by tram.

The bathroom was a wet room for disabled guests and the loo was inside the shower. So not ideal but the actual bedroom was very nice. Quite pricey.

Very comfy bed - lovely double height room with shower upstairs but conveniently loo next to bed! Excellent location in historic building with great views from room and corridor windows - quite a gothic experience like no other!

I booked 3 nights but 2 nights at first and added another, within an hour, 3 moths in advance. It was not co-ordinated properly, even though I reiterated the bookings at check-in and was reassured it was OK. I assumed they’d get it. But no, they checked me out, moved my stuff to a less attractive room. Was not offered an upgrade although there was one available - offered to guests in the my first room, if I wanted it back. That hurt!

Excellent experience at this hotel. Very friendly staff who organised some plans for us for my partners' birthday and fantastic afternoon tea with delicious cakes. The hotel itself is very nice with very modern but comforting and tasteful decoration. Lastly the hotel is conveniently located close to everything although in Ghent you're never that far from anything!

The only slight issue is that it is on a very popular square so there was some noise late at night and early in the morning - but that is not the fault of the hotel!

I loved the building and the bar, breakfast was nice and the place was spotless. The stuff were super friendly and room was comfortable. The location was super.

Had to climb a staircase to get to the shower and sink.
