Monasterium PoortAckere *

We hadden van een Monasterium iets meer sfeer verwacht. We hadden helaas aparte bedden met doorgezakte matrassen. De kamer was wel schoon maar vooral de badkamer was qua onderhoud wel gedateerd. Dus goed voor een leuke shopping trip maar niet echt voor een romantische getaway.

In beautiful Ghent you will find this hotel and guesthouse near the historical center. It is an ok solution. I stayed at the guesthouse, and Got a room ón the second floor, in a very Dark hallway. I asked Them to fix the light, and when it was not done they gave ne another room without too Much discussion. Some of The receptionists are very kind and some of Them seem to be interested in anything but the guests.

This is a hotel unlike any other I've ever stayed in. It's not easy to find (but sick to the hotel's directions and you"ll be fine), the receptionist is friendly in the evening, grumpy and simply overstretched in the morning, rooms are huge with more than a whiff of the early 1950s (and not much heating power than a VW Beetle from that era!), the breakfast room has bags full of charme. A good place for a stopover on your way from/to the ferry ports or Eurotunnel or anyone wanting to visit the sights of Belgium while staying somewhere less obvious than Bruge or Brussles.

This place is out of the ordinary, not standard. It may not suit everyone as it is quirky and quaint. It needs work to upgrade some of the décor, but all the essentials were there. except an iron? There was a separate ironing room which seemed a bit weird, but I did say it was quirky. Ideal as a conference venue. We stayed there for 3 nights as part of a conference booking, and the price still did seem a bit high. The use of the chapel for dinner was wonderful and so too was the meal. All room facilities worked well, excellent room heaters. The room had real high ceilings that enhanced that feeling of space. The drain in the shower was slow, I sense that plumbing generally needs some work! Fantastic breakfast! Plenty of selection. Hospitable and helpful staff Plenty of parking, good wireless internet

We booked two rooms at this hotel, one for us as a couple, and another for a single friend. On arrival, we were very concerned about the general state of the place, it looked dark, dingy and old. We were first shown to our friends room which was up a very small set of stairs which was in desparate need of updating. The room itself was awful - it looked like the bedding had not been updated since the 70's, the curtains were hanging off the wall, the carpet was dirty and the bathroom had mould in it. There was a tv on the wall that looked like it was about to fall off and when I sat on the bed, it was so low and soft I couldn't image sleeping in it!!!! it was just so awful that we didn't even go to look at the second room and decided to leave straight away. We went to reception to tell them the room was not sufficient and certainly nothing like those shown on the website. To add insult to injury we were refused a refund. I know this was once a monastery but it certainly hasn't been extensively modernised, the room we were given was not even up to youth hostel standards and the costs certainly do not reflect this
