    Just two things: 1)The main door of the building was still open (maybe it was just a coincidence or the locking system was switched off or broken) but I would feel more secure, if they could be opened/closed with a card too. 2) The bathroom door was broken, they made noise and had to be push to close them.

    The location of the hotel is absolutely great. We were in the middle of the town, right next to Gravensteen and tram stop. Our room (executive room) was in the second building (which is located in the inner courtyard of main building). It is a quiet space without outside noise. Maybe we were lucky, but we didn't hear any other guests. The room is equipped as expected - small fridge with freezer, TV (German/English/French/Flemish TV programs), Wi-fi (...maybe a bit slow), deposit box, big bathroom, hairdryer, disposable slippers... The door is locked with a card. Our bed was more than comfortable, we slept great. The room was neatly cleaned every day (of course - we got clean towels and new toiletries). We had to learn how to control the heat, but it wasn't hard at all. The staff were helpfull and nice. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely come again!

    Breakfast room in another building Not good if it's raining or snowing. Needs better directions on which tram to take from the main station. Seemed to run out of some breakfast items at the buffet

    Location was great right beside the castle and close to the attractions

    The only problem I had was that wifi barely worked most of the time, giving me hard time working

    The breakfast was simple, but the quality of ingredients was great. Location was amazing - just outside Gravensteen castle. Staff was extremely nice and helpful.

    clean room & bathroom was excellent , but feel that the towels need to be replaced, they were clean but looked tired.

    Central location was fantastic for all amenities and walking in the old town. We had requested a quiet room which was very quiet. Clean room and bathroom all amenities made it a comfortable stay. Very good breakfast !

    Would have been nice to have a view but the location is so fantastic, just go for a walk instead!

    Amazing location, right opposite the Gravensteen (who’d have thought). The room wasn’t ready when we arrived for check in but they had a nice terrace where we could wait and staff were very friendly.

    We had a very large attic room which was a bit difficult to navigate with different floor levels and low beams. I think a room lower in the building would be better

    We were in room 62 on level 3 of the other building (2 floors above the breakfast room). The room itself was fine but there was a continual smell of sewerage emanating from the bathroom. Whether or not this was due to the groundworks being carried out outside I don't know but I suspect not.

    Continental breakfast options were good however I didn't realise at the time that there was a also cooked breakfast option which I would have preferred. Location is excellent
