ElaineAustralia · Dec 13, 2025 8Very good
It was a pleasant stay with a very kind and nice landlord Fred.
Liked : The breakfast was very good, with a wide variety of options available. The room was nice and clean, and the accommodation was well prepared. I arrived very late, and Fred was still very responsive, promptly replying to my messages and making sure I could check in smoothly.
Disliked : The room is close to the road, so it was quite noisy until midnight. The location was a bit farther than expected. And the request to pay by cash were somewhat inconvenient for travellers.

LindaSweden · Aug 3, 2025 8Very good
Liked : Comfortable bed, very friendly staff, and good location, appreciate there was a fan in the room
Disliked : The room itself had a very, very strong perfume smell. If you are sensitive to perfumes,you should notify the hotel. Maybe the previous occupant had smoked in the room, since the rest of the hotel did not smell of perfume.

Would visit again.
Liked : Located on a canal close to the city center, welcoming and helpful host, clean and well-equipped room with easy access, neighborhood seemed nice. Pleasant atmosphere in general.
Disliked : Bathroom connected to the bedroom only by a matted glass sliding door, beds too soft but that is subjective and seems to be the norm wherever we travel, WIFI strength somewhat unstable during the day.

Ghent ❤️
Liked : Great location! Close enough that you can walk to city center, but distant enough that it is calm and quite. I loved being across the canal. It was very clean and had spacious room with a very comfortable bed and pillow. Bathroom was very clean and big.
Disliked : I would have liked to interact more with host or guests.

KathrynUnited States · Sep 26, 2024 8Very good
Liked : location was nice. we had our bikes and it was easy to get to the center on bike paths from the hotel. the room was large and there was a safe place to store our bikes. The owner was prompt to reply to our texts and to address our needs. There is a shared space with a coffee machine, beverages, and snacks that uses an honor system to pay for it. I was able to get some hot water for some tea that I brought. There are no coffee or hot water machines in your own room.
Disliked : I am sure the place will be quick to fix the minor issues, but the outlets did not work next to the bed, and the soap dispenser was empty. We told the owner about the problem, after we left, and he was glad to hear about it, so he could resolve the issue.

Comfy B&B with young modern spirit.
Liked : Modern B&B with the spirit. I like the shared living/dining room with the library corner. Located on living street with the gracht.
Disliked : You need to close the Windows in the night because of the noisy Street. No problem for me.

Liked : Fred's place was a real great deal. Everything was hyper clean, the shower was amazing and the beds were so comfortable that I could have lost one day of sightseeing simply chilling there. Thanks Fred!
Disliked : Nothing

Would like to return!
Liked : We liked the spacious room, the host Fred, was very friendly, the room was very clean, with nice and spacious bathroom, nice view to the river, you can walk to the center in 15 minutiae, the bus ride could get you on the corner of the street of this site. I definitely recommend it. Also, we liked the very nice library and there are a small store if you would like to buy any beer, water, soda, bread, etc. very convenient.
Disliked : No elevators, bad if you have big suitcases. The stairs are very narrow and the rooms have not good insulation, you could hear all the steps from outside, but it was not a big problem for us since we just wanted to rest. Also, the check in time is after 6:00 pm which could be a m issue I you are going to arrive early and you have luggage. Fortunately, we found a place to save our luggage near of the train station in a hotel, 15 euros for 1 day.
