1898 the Post

Beautiful hotel with perfect view of a cathedral from our twin room. Hotel is in a historic building with lovely architectural features by the canal and the room we were in was a cleverly designed "duplex" with the bathroom and sinks on the upper floor (ie loft) which made full use of the almost double volume ceiling in the smallish twin room we were in. The only drawback was that the steps were narrow and steep and would pose a problem if one had mobility issues. The toilet was located by the door next to the entrance but there was no sink for handwashing. Alcohol gel in a pump bottle was provided. There is a café, lifestyle / clothes shop and supermarket in the same building. Very convenient and the hotel's location was walkable to all the sights in Ghent central. The front desk staff were very polite and gracious and allowed us to store our luggage when we arrived before 11am, since check-in was strictly at 4pm. We were happy to find that our suitcases had been already delivered to our room when we returned to the hotel at 4pm. There are 2 bars in the hotel - one which is open to the public which was buzzing in the evenings and a guest-only "Honesty Bar" (1st photo) in which hotel guests could purportedly help themselves to liquor and pen down what they had imbibed - but I never saw anyone in it ! This could be due to a lack of ice or mixers. Or glasses. 🍸

Overall is great. But the entrance is a little away from the main road if you are with your big luggage that could be tough due the the steps and rough paving. Another small issue is the toilet, there is no ventilation in the toilet so the odour could trapped inside for a while.

Amazing!!!!!!

The hotel is in a historic building and centrally located in Ghent. It is walkable to all major sightseeing destinations. Our room has a beautiful view of St Nicholas Church, and the square in front. The room was quite stylishly decorated with high ceiling but the. Shower and wash basin are on the upper level. Maybe inconvenient for some people. At least the toilet is on the same level as the entrance. My room was a bit small, only suitable to have two cabin size luggage opened at the same time. Overall it is a lovely hotel and really added to our two days stay in Ghent.

房間面積雖然有點小，但挑高很高，房間窗外對面就是教堂，welcome letter絕對的哈利波特風，房卡也是滿滿的設計感。

入住入口在河邊，這廣場不是所有車子都能停靠，特定的出租車才能停，所以下車後要拿行李繞到建築的後面河邊才能找到入口，進入樓內後有幾個踏步要自己抬行李，行李很重的人要自己注意。 入住體驗很好，服務很到位，會細明房間。 住的是頂樓，房間比較小，由於顏色比較深，閣樓的窗户比較小如果比較怕黑的人會感覺比較壓抑。 如果差價不大，建議選其他房型。 經過樓下有看到其他房型，樣式一樣但窗户是大窗，怕黑的人預訂時可以溝通問問。
