Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Outdated interior and old, smelly wall-to-wall carpets, gym (fitness room) is a tiny and narrow room squeezed with some equipment, barely space to use anything. Breakfast is ok, good standard. Staff is friendly.

Central location
Our room was upgraded to a suit in the old part of the hotel. The room was very spacious but quite dark. Check in was a challenge as although we had booked a B&B rate reception was adamant that our booking was room only. Luckily the app showed breakfast was included and they eventually accepted it. Breakfast had a good selection but was very busy. The hotel has a central location Nice big bathroom

Such a great spot to us as a base to explore the old part of Gent. An old cotton mill, you can feel the history surrounding you. A few minutes walk from the thriving riverside and only 10 mins from all of the major attractions. Ghent Card well worth the money too.
