Very nice small hotel! Breakfast was amazing. The room was comfortable, the area is beautiful, and we happened upon a small festival in the city center. We plan to stay again if we are ever in Ghent in the future!

Interesting character property that could probably do with a bit of a refresh. The room was a good size, with a comfortable bed. A couple of minor flaws, wiring was visible on the ceiling light, and the window frames had seen better days. I will probably stay elsewhere next time I am in Ghent.

Great little hotel - shabby chic, good fresh breakfast - only slight downside was it can be a little noisy due to to old wooden floor boards but for me this adds even more character to this lovely building- would definitely stay again - around 10 mins walk to the centre of Ghent

This property does not have air conditioning even though it says it does. The breakfast was great. The hotel is old and needs a bit of a touch up. We thought it could have been cleaner. We liked the location for walking to things to see and do.

Nice hotel
Old fashion hotel in an old building, the furnishings we’re old fashioned and it was really cool.
The breakfast was very good.
It took us 10-15 minutes to walk to the center and the tourist attractions. There are some parking spots at the hotel, the best thing is to book in advance.
The staff we met was friendly and we would absolutely recommend this hotel.

Beautiful but loud building
Very nice place to arrive to and is in a good location. Building is beautiful and old, but this naturally makes it pretty loud, you hear footsteps above etc. Room itself was nice but bathroom could do with a refurb.

Charming Charme
I enjoyed my stay at the Charme Hotel Hancelot. Check-in was easy and the service was terrific. When they told me my room was on the top floor and there was no elevator, they offered to help carry my suitcase to my room. My room was clean and comfortable. My only suggestion would be for a new mattress as the one in my room was a bit too soft. Otherwise a wonderful stay and I would happily choose this hotel again!

I stayed in a friend in the hotel. The room was huge and with beautiful classic design. The bathroom was also big with good shower. The breakfast was tasty and the workers were very very nice. It is 5 minutes wolkig from the city center. I'm very happy with the value for money

Absolutely stunning hotel! The room I stayed in was on the top floor and had solid wood floors and angled ceilings, even in the bathroom! Smelled so good like fresh, bright wood. Beautifully carved matching antique wood furniture as well- beureau, desk and bed frame. A really peaceful and clean feeling energy. The hotel lobby is full of gorgeous antiques and beautiful art everywhere, soft jazz and classical music being played and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Really elegant and tasty breakfast. I loved my stay here!

Great location
Fruendy and helpful staff.
Shame for not having parking space for me.
They should have let me know as if i knew i would have booked elsewhere.
I had to park in the city centre at a secure car park
