Nice hotel - stylish rooms and well restored but no iron/ironing board, in room phone didn’t work and the taxi I ordered with front desk was 30 mins late which make this no good for a business stay in Ghent.

Yli satavuotias rakennus joka oli kunnostettu. Hieno kylpyhuone ja tilava huone. Huone oli aika pimeä. Hyvä sijainti.
