Amazing hotel with the best location in the city and great staff. The room was quirky with the shower and sink on the upper level, seemed cool when we first walked in but became a pain having to walk up and down the stairs as they are badly lit. Also the light switches didn’t make any sense, you have to turn everything on to figure out which one worked. Small inconveniences but great hotel overall. Would go back with a different room.

The location was perfect. History behind the building was amazing. Service was prompt and friendly. Everything marks perfect scores but I had to take one star off for the layout of the rooms. Pack lightly - you can never reach anywhere without stairs. We had to carry our luggage and walk up one flight to the reception. In the room, the toilet was downstairs with the bed but the sink and shower was upstairs in the mezzanine - another set of stairs. It felt weird not being able to wash my hands after using the toilet (both #1 and #2). There is hand sanitizer in the toilet, but to me it wasn’t enough and I almost felt guilty stepping out the door without washing hands. If you can look past these, the bedding and amenities were more comfortable than my own and the view was amazing. The location can’t be beat. I recommend this hotel for younger couples with no mobility issues or babies to carry.

My two night stay at the 1898 hotel in Ghent is one of the best experiences I can remember at a hotel. Every person I interested with exemplified customer service. The upgraded room was absolutely amazing with a gorgeous view over the church and city square. And the honesty bar? Wow, just wow. And, the hotel was the perfect starting point for me to explore the city for the first time. I’ll definitely be back.

Everything was just wonderful. Staff were professional but also friendly and so very attentive. Our room (although not much floor space) was absolutely beautiful. Such a lovely place. Excellent quality linens and towels, beautiful bathroom, amazing view over the square. Just such a beautiful building and so very tastefully designed into the hotel.
