Great location and room but a bit pricy for quality
Pros:

Great location. Nice size room and bathroom.
Nice selection at brekfast and cery tasty food

Cons:

Property needs some TLC. Wobbling railing by the uneven stairs(the bottom stair was taller)up to our room. Room overall clean but half used sugar pouches were left on the tray.
Brekfast items were not promptly replenished causing lack od choices. Both cofee machines were broken 3out of 5 times.

Tiene un encanto especial igual la ciudad de Gante, y está a un minuto de restaurantes, bares y para poder cenar o comer.

Quizás las almohadas no eran muy cómodas por su tamaño,

Mwoea…
Pros:

Ligging, omdat het centraal is. Het charmante van ‘aan de rivier’, daar merk je binnen helaas erg weinig van.

Cons:

Ontbijt niet zo bijzonder. Inrichting is wel oké, maar niet sfeervol. Toen we bij vertrek aangaven dat we ons er uiteindelijk wel mee hadden gered, maar dat we handdoeken, koffiecups, etc voor twee personen hadden, terwijl we een kamer voor drie hadden, werd er alleen maar laconiek gezegd dat dat inderdaad wel handig was geweest.

Pros:

It was a beautiful room with the perfect set up for kids with an enclave with twin beds within the wider room with living room and bedroom. The location was great and the staff were so helpful, especially when we were urgently trying to find nappies one night.
