This hotel has characteristics that make it unique. The property is a former monastery and as such has a climate that makes you feel in the past, giving the perception of how life would be into a place devoted to practice this way of life, based on retreat and cloistered religious existence. Inside the hotel there is a small, yet... More

Contrary to what HostelBookers indicated when I was making my bookings for Ghent, this isn't the cheapest accommodation available in the city: there are several hostels that offer rooms in the 20 euro range, just look for them on the official Ghent tourism website. Nevertheless, I stayed one night in the Monasterium's single room and on the whole, had a... More

This was the cheapest place I could find for a 3-night stay in Ghent since all the B&B in town were quite full around that time (last minute booking). I wanted to stay in a place that was close to the historic city center. Upon arrival at the Gent-St.Pieters train station with luggages, I opted to take the taxi to... More

We've stayed at this converted monastery several times, and it has proved an excellent base from which to enjoy Ghent. The fact that we keep returning says much about it's convenient location, friendly atmosphere and excellent value for money. Do not expect amazing luxury, but you are guaranteed a friendly welcome and clean simple rooms.

I stayed at this hotel for a workshop held in a nearby college. I loved the atmosphere of the building and the music playing. I paid over 100 euros per night for what was a very basic room, albeit large with a big bathroom. I thought Ghent was a beautiful city with plenty of character. The hotel location was great... More

I stayed here early in 2011 while on a conference trip (taking place in the same building in fact). The price for a single room in the monastery was very reasonable, so I went in hoping lightning would not strike me as I tried to cross the threshold. While the rooms were pretty basic, they were more than adequate (a... More

I stayed in a single room (slot 2.8) with shared bathroom and a separate shower. I have nothing major to complain about regarding my stay there. I payed around 45 euros a night which could be regarded as quite steep for a hostel, but being located in the heart of Ghent I would beg to differ. And hey no other... More

Amazing ambience! Very friendly and helful staff. Helped me to print my boarding pass. I forgot my wallet in the internet room and it was still there! So a very safe place. Very clean showers. Nice to have free tea & coffee on each floor. Very close to the old city. Luckily I always travel with earplugs and an eye... More

Stayed at this hotel as it was recommended as the closest hotel to a conference I was attending at a Gent University building a few hundred yards away. In fact most, if not all, of the guests were attending the same conference. I have mixed feelings about this hotel. It was certainly different, as it is based on an old... More
