I can't imagine a better place to stay in Ghent. The building itself is a wonder, a visual highlight in a city of visual highlights. The staff, from check-in to dining, was superb. Everyone smiles, everyone is helpful. A fantastic part of a fantastic trip.

An architectural masterpiece/ best location.
Gorgeous Hotel, in one of Ghent’s most beautiful architectural landmarks. One feels they are staying in a museum of sorts. Perfect location. Bed linens fit for a King. Only drawback was my beautiful shower was up a steep staircase and if your mobility is challenged then this is a huge problem but I’m ever so glad I experienced this gem of an establishment. The staff is fantastic.
Hotel is top two floors of this building.
View from bar and stellar cocktail bartenders whose artistry is mesmerizing.
Hotel bar is second floor with the soaring windows.
You have access to your own private bar and stunningly beautiful room located in a turret.

What a hotel!
What a fantastic hotel! We were greeted warmly, shown to our rooms and offered extra service such as more bedding, milk, coffee if required. We were given maps of the city and recommended places to visit. The room was spotlessly clean, all fixtures and fittings worked and were of a very high standard. Trye bed was very comfortable and the pillows were super snuggly. Extras such as the soaps and shower gel were of high quality and smelled divine. We had a lovely view of the square from our room. Breakfast was perfect for us, lots of choice and nothing too much trouble for the staff. Spent an evening at the bar enjoying the cocktail making (not cheap, but worth it). Thank you to all who work so hard to make this hotel one of the best we have ever stayed at.

A Must Stay in Gent!
This property has a sophisticated gothic vibe you likely won’t see anywhere else. Design, furnishings, linens, appointments, toiletries are all top notch. The breakfast was served by two of the most adorable and fun young women and was plentiful and delicious. The Post is located in the middle of everything so shops, restaurants, cafes, museums, cathedral are all walkable. AND the whole place was whimsically decorated for Halloween!
Cobbler Bar for breakfast or a nightcap.
