Everything was good. Shower pressure and temperature were great. Spacious room with large double bed.

The location was great and the beds absolutely amazing! For that we would definitely stay again. The studio was light and spacious, could do with a more thorough clean (behind the tv!) and the kitchen amenities could be improved (we had 2 bowls, no plates, no kettle, no bin) Overall a good place and will be back. Thanks.

We booked a studio room and were pleasantly surprised to find we had been given the room on the top floor which was like a loft apartment, with a sofa and hi-table with bar stools. The bed was comfy and the kitchenette had a good amount of kit. Great location and I liked not having to worry about keys. We would recommend

Good basic place to visit Ghent from

Room location and price was good. Bed was comfortable and pillows were nice. Basic provisions were okay. I could give this an 8 if the shower hot water was better. It stayed hot for a minute or less before turning cold. A little more provisions it small kitchenette would be nice - I was slicing onions with a table knife.

The room had some small problems with cleanliness. The sheet on the bed had some marks, there was dust in the floor and the shower was not super clean. The location was great but for the price, a cleaner room was desired.

Great studio loft in convenient location. Nearby parking stations made ut easy. Room on 3rd floor needed 48 stairs, last set very narrow, so not convenient if heavy luggage. Main letdown was lack of detail to servicing. Only one coffee mug, no coffee, one glass and only one fork. When texted agent, they were quick to rectify.

Perfect location and really nice staff, but maintenance and cleanliness are extremely poor. We bought disposable dishes so we wouldn't have to use theirs. White socks on the floor turned black in no time.

8/10 Very good

Had a good stay for four nights, but it is more of an Airbnb than a hotel. I would not prefer their reception-less method if traveling alone. Rooms are spacious and quiet, but a little dingy/dusty. Showers would not stay warm for long in the evenings but mornings were fine. We had to contact owners for more towels and toilet paper but they arrived very quickly and seemed happy to check in with us. Extremely walk able area for beautiful Ghent, but getting to and from the train station required taxis. Public transportation was tricky in the area.

6/10 Good

Liked the ground floor room and bed was comfortable. But needs some attention. Could have had a second mug in the room. Coffee machine leaks. Table needs to be replaced and outside area could use a good power wash and new chairs. Appreciated the laundry facilities however if the garbage was removed more often there would be less mice. A very scary basement!

We stayed here 7 years ago, at that time it was great for us. Now it decrease, sure not again. The check in was crazy, no room free. After sending copy of confirmation, they gave with a room which us wrong room. If you are happy with just a clean bed, the rest is heavy used, this might be your choice. For room with terrasse, enjoy the sound from air condition and dirty chair's outside, for using the shower, try to switch on hot water from bathroom sink, it helps for the shower.

OK accommodation

Bad start due to lack of communication from the owners, they did not respond to texts or phone until several attempts. Did not get information about room or code for opening the doors. But once we got that by third phonecall, we were pleasantly surprised - the studio was large and comfortable, and fashionably cool. Bed was OK. Very good aircondition is a huge plus. Also, it's very central.The kitchen lacks kitchen towel and bread knife. Stay out of the laundry basement, it's full of garbage. All in all, good value and we would consider staying there again.

Great location. Get the keyless code

This apartment is in a superb location to explore the beautiful city of Ghent. The bed is very large, there’s a small courtyard, and a good shower. It would benefit from more attention to details - the tv isn’t tuned, there were no tea towels, soap dispensers were empty and coffee pods were already used. It could do with a little bit of an upgrade in the bathroom. All that said, it’s still a very nice place to stay. There was a problem receiving the keyless code to get in - be warned: check you have them well before arriving, and do tell Hotels customer care to send the email in their system. I hadn’t received the hotel provider’s email, but the Hotels system had it. All’s well that ends well, and I would highly recommend this place.

Location good, communication not so.

The apartment was clean and in a good location in the centre of Ghent. We used Park and ride to get to the centre which only took 25 minutes on the tram T2. Communication from the start was poor. I asked questions about parking, no answer, i asked about check in, no answer. I managed to contact them on WhatsApp and on the day of check in I received a code. Which worked for the front door but not our room. Fortunately the cleaner let us in and eventually we received the right code from the owner. In future I would recommend the owner to improve early communication with guests. We weren’t the only ones this occurred with……

2/10 Poor

Our stay was not very good at the House of Edward. First, we received no codes to enter the property, and had to call 3 times to get through to someone. Once we finally reached a real person, they did send us the codes, but it took well over an hour to sort it out. The room had some nice features -- including a nice outdoor terrace, and a large comfortable bed, but it was not that clean. And, the kitchen lacked basic items such as dish towels, paper towels and a sponge. And, the shampoo dispenser in the shower was completely gone, and the conditioner dispenser was empty and didn't work anyway! We could hear people going up and down the stairs until at least 4am. And, there was a mouse that scampered across the floor when I turned on the light. Also, on Expedia, it states there is "parking available." What that translates into is a parking lot in front of the hotel that requires you pay every 5 hours outside the hours of 11pm and 9am. We were about 30 minutes late when we went to dinner, and ended up with a 40E ticket! And, if you have one of the upper floors, make sure you know there is no lift/elevator -- and the stairs are quite steep and narrow. I'd never stay here again -- I'd opt to book the Ghent River Hotel, right across the square.

What a wonderful little hotel! It is very close walking distance (2 minutes) to the old city center, with lots of wonderful restaurants, and an easy 5-minute walk to the tram that takes you to the train station for easy traveling around. The room itself is beautiful, and the bed is very very comfortable - especially the amazing feather pillows!! Perfect after a long day of walking! The owners were very responsive and made the self check-in and -out very convenient. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re back!
