1898 The Post

The location of the hotel was absolutely fantastic—convenient and close to everything we needed. However, it was a bit noisy at times, so the complimentary earplugs were a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. The hotel itself is stunning, beautifully designed with elegant decor, and it smelled incredible throughout, creating a truly luxurious and welcoming atmosphere. The bar was lovely though we were constantly shown to tables near other people when the rest of the room was empty. Top tip; sit people away from others when possible!!

The hotel location is awesome, smack dab in the middle of a beautiful part of the city. The hotel is rather elegant and the rooms are well appointed and appropriately sized for 1898.

The location was perfect for exploring beautiful Ghent. The historic building had so much character which was also shown in the rooms themselves. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was very well soundproofed as looked onto a really busy square with Christmas markets and we couldn’t hear anything! Loved the curtains as well, fully blackout! And the bed was large and really comfortable, with a big tv. They offer a parking space if you ask which is really useful.

The hotel has a superb charm, with its stunning old-world design and beautiful attention to detail throughout every space – from the hallways to the breakfast area. Each corner feels thoughtfully crafted, blending elegance with character. The staff were incredibly warm and relaxed, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, a wonderfully enjoyable stay with plenty of personality.

Beautiful boutique hotel in a historic building in a very central location. Great service. Made the holiday feel really special. Loved the special nook with quiet music and an honesty bar. And the lovely cocktail bar overlooking the canal.
