“Converted from a 13th-century monastery, the hotel provides a unique lodging experience in Ghent. I especially appreciate the distinctive breakfast served in the former chapel. The location is central and convenient, yet the atmosphere remains quiet and calm, and I think that the courtyard offers a peaceful retreat.”
