Nous avons eu un petit problème pour recevoir notre code d’accès à la propriété. Nous avons contacté les propriétaires et ils nous ont répondu très rapidement. La chambre était très propre, par contre le réfrigérateur ne fonctionnait et les ustensiles de cuisine ne sont pas nombreux. Nous avons tout de même passé un bon séjour.

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.

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!

This place is much better suited for a couple wanting a minimalist room, but not well-suited for a solo traveler. A little unsettling both from the area and the lack of other staff/service onsite

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.

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.

The design of the studio made efficient use of the space. The finishes were excellent. The bed was very comfortable. My unit had a terrace which doubled the space of the unit. I will definitely stay at The House of Edward again. The nearby dining and shopping options are superb! There are many worthwhile attraction in Ghent and Brugge is a short train ride away. Excellent overall.

Mary

Disliked: Amenities
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.

I lived in room 11 and there are reception and the confirmation email had never been received. Had to wait 10 minutes to reach the staff. The hot water is not stable and comes and go. Should view the comment first obviously the water is system always have a problem. The hygiene is average. But the price is really attractive compared with other.

Laundry service is a creepy and narrow staircase into a basement that reeks of garbage. Reception was quick to answer any questions over WhatsApp but it was suggested that I just leave my card info in a draw downstairs at checkout to pay and found that the draws are filled with random stuff including room keys. Seems unsafe if everyone that’s staying has access. Not very quiet and not well cleaned. Won’t be staying again.

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.
