The hotel is wonderfully located right on the waterfront, offering magical balconies and lovely big windows in the rooms. The convenience of having a shower upstairs and the loo next to the bed adds a quirky touch. The bustling square nearby can be a bit noisy at times, but the central location in Ghent is truly a gem.
