Un precioso hotel en una preciosa ciudad
Pros:

El hotel esta en el mismo centro, la habitación daba al canal, preciosa. Amplia y bonita decoración. El desayuno estupendo. Para repetir

Cons:

Me pareció caro, pero todos los hoteles en Gante lo son. La luz es un poco pobre, crea un ambiente muy agradable, pero si quieres leer un ratito a la noche, falta un poco.

Just a Lovely Stay
Pros:

The room was just lovely: great light shining through leaded glass windows, a comfortable seating area, the location was excellent. We felt as if we had stepped back in time with the timbered ceiling and exposed brick.

A great location. Large room.

Initial welcome reception was poor.
