Great location!!!! Clean, decent room but super noisy and not very bright. We got moved from original, bright room with a patio door to a room with small windows and not as nice but was clean and did the job. The common outside terrace and kitchen area were very cool and the house itself is AMAZING!!!

The operator was hard to contact. The front door wide open when we arrived and often left like this. The only access is up 3 flights of stairs. You apparently have to ask about the free breakfast although you can make coffee using the machine whenever you like but not if it is our of water. The location is great within the old town area.

Overall it was a great experience. Check in wasn't the easiest of all time as it has to happen at 4pm sharp or you have to set an appointment, but the lady was so nice, helpful, and really flexible. And the location of the B&B couldn't have been better as all my meetings were nearby.

Good location and decent hotel.

Was a bit difficult to find due to no sign but the personnel were very friendly. The hotel was like staying at an old aunt's home. It was clean and location was super. I would use the hotel again. Parking is a lil pricey.

Arrived too late, stranded in unknown city.

Didn't get to stay here. Flying in to Brussels from LHR I was on a short business trip in Gent. I was informed by email that I was arriving too late and that they had gone home and wouldn't be checking me in. When I replied by email that I was at the hotel I received no response. The next day I received an email that claimed they reviewed their cameras and buzzer log and determined that I was lying and that I hadn't showed up. I am offended by this claim as I stood at their door buzzing for 10 minutes upon my arrival. Luckily there was an Ibis up the road that had availability. I would have been in big trouble if there had not been another hotel nearby. I would have appreciated a call before the staff decided to leave me stranded in an unknown city because it was past their bedtime. Beware before booking this hotel. The ownership clearly doesn't value their customers and may not value you during your stay - make sure you arrive before 8:00 pm or you're screwed. I would recommend avoiding this hotel. The Ibis up the road has great views of the cathedral and towers downtown and the hotel bar has great Belgian beers and very friendly staff.

This is a bed and breakfast, not a hotel. My room was next to the breakfast room, with as result it was noisy early on.

A Hidden disappointment

The hotel itself is almost impossible to find, with no visible sign, only a really tiny placard on the door on a busy street. Inside it is alright for the money, nothing special, rather old - but some things didn't work too well, to put in lightly. There was no shower curtain in the bathroom and the building itself has very old locks that don't always open with the key. I was locked in my room for several minutes trying to open the door until the owner went and got a master-key to unlock the room from the outside.

Work in Progress

This is more a B&B than a hotel. Rooms are well appointed and comfortable but the public areas still have an unfinished look with bare stairs and distressed paintwork. It was not easy to find as the only sign is a tiny brass plate on a front door. Curtailing in the room was inadequate especially given a strong light directly outside the room. Some nice patio areas outside if it is warm enough to use. Breakfast was OK nothing fancy. Overall a bit expensive for what you get.

Certainly an experience!

With no rooms available anywhere in Ghent on the night I arrived, I had no choice but to stay in La Ducale in one of the apartments on the third floor. Overall, I quite liked the place as somewhere to put my head for just one night. The manageress was very friendly and left a generous breakfast in my fridge while I was out having dinner. Being winter, I didn't mind not having curtains, but can imagine it'd make for a very early wake-up in the summer! Blinds in the bathroom might have avoided the locals sharing my morning shower - but maybe that's standard form when you stay in the red light district?

Friendly b&b

I chose this hotel for its period building at the historic centre and was hoping for a friendlier staff than the usual hotel chains. I am satisfied with what I got. I would recommend if you prefer friendly staff than the little details.
