The location is ideal. In the center of things yet quiet enough for us. For such an old, historical building, the room was quite nice. Air conditioning was much appreciated in the heat wave we experienced. As expected in a building of this time, the stairs are steep & narrow. We recommend the 1st floor for fewer stairs and still a fabulous view.

Slight panic when there was no answer on either phone number when we arrived around half an hour late at 8pm. (Was just a slightly nerve wracking 10 minute wait for the door to be opened). The WiFi didn’t work for us in the first floor room, but phone signal was good enough to watch iplayer etc.

The location is exceptional. Heart of the old town with great views and atmosphere. Easy to pop back for sun lotion, to fill water or for facilities. Super breakfast by the river. Comfortable bed.

Steep steps to third floor room

We loved the view from our room, every historical sight. Cute and cozy, although it was up a very steep set of steps. The breakfast was wonderful served on the beautiful terrace on the canal. The owner was wonderful.

Nothing, it was all perfect really.

Our stay at Rooms With A View was fantastic. Everything exceeded our expectations. The view is stunning and the location is unparalleled right in the center of the old city. The room is very comfortable. The staff and owner go above and beyond, always smiling and with kind attentions. And the breakfast! It was just exceptional, for the large selection of fresh products, the service and the quiet setting near the water. We will for sure stay again next time we are in Ghent. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful stay.

The city streets are difficult to navigate in order to get to the destination.

Well, obviously the VIEWS were amazing! Bie and her staff went out of their way to make our stay unique and special. We were served the best mojitos and the best breakfast on our entire vacation!

Had the cosiest room you could imagine and the breakfast and service were outstanding!

What a fantastic location and hotel. We received above and beyond service and care from the owners and staff daily. The rooms were perfectly furnished and equipped with everything needed. Breakfast was a delight each day, with top quality and delicious food choices, all seated next to the river Leie, with outstanding views of the old city.

The host, the room and the breakfast were all excellent, nothing could be faulted. The location is very central, overlooking the river, and standing on the balcony places an obligation on you to wave back at the other tourists on passing boats! Some noise at nights from the busy riverside bar on the opposite bank, but not excessive and only to be expected if you choose such a central location. Easily remedied by closing the windows.

Stairs

Breakfast,location, views from the room were excellent

Stayed in June 2023

Personally, neither of these bothered us, but some may find the large number of people sitting and talking by the water late into the night and the early morning on fine / warm days a bit noisy. Also the stairs up to the rooms are fine for the sure footed, but could be harder for those with mobility or balance weaknesses.

The 270 degree views from the double aspect rooms are sensational - wonderful to just perch by the window on a long June evening and watch as the light gradually fades and the lights come on. Breakfast was also fabulous with a range of granola/fruit/cheese/ham/ smoked salmon/croissants/breads/fruit/eggs that made lunch redundant. Service was excellent too. There are only 3 rooms, all with the same views, but rooms 1 and 2 have more windows.

The only possible issue for some will be the stairs to the room. They are steep and winding. It would not work if travelers have any mobility issues. That said, staff carried our bags up to the room as we arrived early and the room was not yet available. So we didn’t have to navigate the stairs up with our bags.

The breakfast was delicious and everything was extremely fresh. We had to leave before the breakfast hour and they served us a half hour early. The strawberries were so sweet! The room was so lovely and the view of the canals in two directions was absolutely amazing. The owner and the staff could not have been nicer.

Absolutely nothing!

Fantastic view from the room and situated in the heart of Ghent. Everything in the minibar was inclusive The bed was big and comfortable with soft and luxurious linen. Shampoo and conditioner in shower with shower-gel and body lotion. Flexible on breakfast time and it was a real feast. Beautiful restaurant with fireplace where decor was impeccable to admire. Bie was the best hostess.

There are very nice shutters on the windows but still a little street noise - (I actually like falling asleep to background noise but not everyone does!). The access stairs to the unit are fine, but steep, and not for everyone - we’re fit and could handle them, but people with accessibility issues or babies, etc, might want to consider this before staying there!

Wonderful location right in the heart of Ghent, along the river. Bie was a great hostess, helping with luggage, wine, breakfast, and taxi arrangements!
