Amazing shower but without ventilation. That should be installed asap. We didn't figure out how the coffee machine worked. The bed was very good, but there was'nt much space around the bed. Breakfast was offered for 25 Euro per person which we declined. We only stayed for one night.

What an amazing place! A former monastery sympathetically renovated and converted - with some quirky touches. Really nice rooms with all facilities. Good breakfast - though a bit on the pricey side? Only bit that needs improvement is check-in. Staff are nice but the system seems either too slow or too complicated - it all takes way too long and staff (though perfectly nice) seem overwhelmed with it. Would definitely stay there again, though - it’s a really unusual place in Gent.

Smart and quite trendy renovation of old monastery. There was a cold tap alongside my wash basin but no hot tap. Very odd - perhaps a legacy from monastic times ! Ha ha. I was on first floor and never did find the toilet so I always have to go downstair to the first floor to the toilet. Perhaps there was hot water and a first floor toilet but never found them.

Pro: The hotel itself is very cool and interesting just to walk through. Also the beds are pretty comfortable. Con: the room was not fully cleaned (trash had not been emptied and the sink had not been cleaned)... but, more importantly, someone keyed into the room at 9:30am for no reason?? No warning knock nor apology. That was a bit alarming.

Happy with the location, the room and the facilities. Not happy with the reaction of the reception after a false fire alarm at 22h ("There probably is no fire, you can go back to your room. It is probably a false alarm. We often have those"). This probably made me feel safe :-) Not happy with (Spanish speaking) staff speaking loudly in a room (or kitchen or whatever facility that is) next to mine (St.Stephen´s cell) between 1:00h and 2:00h in the morning - makes it hard to sleep.

Ok but a bit expensive for what it is

Well it’s an old religious institution which is cool if you like old buildings but 40 Euro did two for breakfast for a few croissants is Rob Dog territory and I think they should reduce this price. The place is old but very interesting with a fabulous church in the centre of the building. Overall the building is shabby and seems to have been thrown together rather than lovingly restored. The bed was on but a bit soft, the bathroom was huge and quite ok. The service was good and parking ok at 15 euros a night. One thing is to remember to register your car for the emissions nonsense (pointless but there you go) I’m writing this from a 5 star hotel in the Netherlands and I think I’ll stick to 5 star going forwards as this place was just too Youth Hostel style for me.

The hotel was in a great location, close to St Michael's Bridge and also had parking. The parking was secure but quite expensive. The building was really beautiful as it was an old monastery. We did not have breakfast as it was quite expensive, but there was a lovely cafe at the end of the road. The staff in the hotel were really friendly and helpful, my partner injured his foot and they helped with ice packs and there was a pharmacy around the corner. The rooms were spotless and beds were comfortable. Very peacful despite location.

This property has bed bugs. I discovered this at midnight - the night guard was unbelievably rude and argumentative when I raised this as an issue. He was dismissive and aggressive and frankly I’ve never experienced anything like it. The ladies at reception were very nice, tumble dried my clothes after I washed them, I was given an alternative room for the rest of the night and the hotel issued me a full refund that is to be honest the least they could do. I am covered in bites, had to book a new hotel for the rest of my trip and this cast a bit of a pall over the holiday. Both staff members I spoke to were keen to insist the hotel wasn’t at fault as they had just had a lot of guests from the city festival. Make of that what you will. The property is charming and well located but the cleanliness and self-admitted capacity to handle large numbers of guests in these circumstances leaves a huge amount to be desired.

Stemningsfullt hotell i gammelt kloster. God beliggenhet i rolig gate noen minutters gange unna gamlebyen. Fint rom. De fine lokalene kunne vært enda bedre tilgjengeliggjort (som lys i bakhagen om kvelden) for å gjøre opplevelsen enda bedre.
