“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.”

an okay stay, i guess?
missing towels street noise
Honestly, the room service was a bit hit or miss. i found that the towels weren't replaced one day. also, the noise level from the street was noticeable. It was hard to ignore the early morning traffic. the thin walls didn't help. Every creak and conversation seemed amplified. it was somewhat bothersome.

missing air conditioning missing mosquito screens
The breakfast had many choices, that was acceptable.
The room was way too hot. There was no air conditioning! I opened the windows to get air, but no screens existed to keep out mosquitos. We all were bitten and had to stay up to catch the bugs with closed windows, as it got really hot.
