The location was great and the beds absolutely amazing! For that we would definitely stay again. The studio was light and spacious, could do with a more thorough clean (behind the tv!) and the kitchen amenities could be improved (we had 2 bowls, no plates, no kettle, no bin) Overall a good place and will be back. Thanks.

What a wonderful little hotel! It is very close walking distance (2 minutes) to the old city center, with lots of wonderful restaurants, and an easy 5-minute walk to the tram that takes you to the train station for easy traveling around. The room itself is beautiful, and the bed is very very comfortable - especially the amazing feather pillows!! Perfect after a long day of walking! The owners were very responsive and made the self check-in and -out very convenient. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re back!

We booked a studio room and were pleasantly surprised to find we had been given the room on the top floor which was like a loft apartment, with a sofa and hi-table with bar stools. The bed was comfy and the kitchenette had a good amount of kit. Great location and I liked not having to worry about keys. We would recommend

Good basic place to visit Ghent from

Room location and price was good. Bed was comfortable and pillows were nice. Basic provisions were okay. I could give this an 8 if the shower hot water was better. It stayed hot for a minute or less before turning cold. A little more provisions it small kitchenette would be nice - I was slicing onions with a table knife.

This place is much better suited for a couple wanting a minimalist room, but not well-suited for a solo traveler. A little unsettling both from the area and the lack of other staff/service onsite

The design of the studio made efficient use of the space. The finishes were excellent. The bed was very comfortable. My unit had a terrace which doubled the space of the unit. I will definitely stay at The House of Edward again. The nearby dining and shopping options are superb! There are many worthwhile attraction in Ghent and Brugge is a short train ride away. Excellent overall.

Value place to stay in Ghent. Nice location. Two flights of stairs to the top rooms. Entirely automated so you never see the hosts. But the access is quite easy as they send adequate instructions. As I remember it, the free version of the internet was just a tad slow even for doing basic tasks. Over all, would be pleased to stay there again if I ever get back to Ghent.

The room had some small problems with cleanliness. The sheet on the bed had some marks, there was dust in the floor and the shower was not super clean. The location was great but for the price, a cleaner room was desired.

Great studio loft in convenient location. Nearby parking stations made ut easy. Room on 3rd floor needed 48 stairs, last set very narrow, so not convenient if heavy luggage. Main letdown was lack of detail to servicing. Only one coffee mug, no coffee, one glass and only one fork. When texted agent, they were quick to rectify.

Liked the ground floor room and bed was comfortable. But needs some attention. Could have had a second mug in the room. Coffee machine leaks. Table needs to be replaced and outside area could use a good power wash and new chairs. Appreciated the laundry facilities however if the garbage was removed more often there would be less mice. A very scary basement!
