I lived in room 11 and there are reception and the confirmation email had never been received. Had to wait 10 minutes to reach the staff. The hot water is not stable and comes and go. Should view the comment first obviously the water is system always have a problem. The hygiene is average. But the price is really attractive compared with other.

Location good, communication not so.
The apartment was clean and in a good location in the centre of Ghent. We used Park and ride to get to the centre which only took 25 minutes on the tram T2. Communication from the start was poor. I asked questions about parking, no answer, i asked about check in, no answer. I managed to contact them on WhatsApp and on the day of check in I received a code. Which worked for the front door but not our room. Fortunately the cleaner let us in and eventually we received the right code from the owner. In future I would recommend the owner to improve early communication with guests. We weren’t the only ones this occurred with……

OK accommodation
Bad start due to lack of communication from the owners, they did not respond to texts or phone until several attempts. Did not get information about room or code for opening the doors. But once we got that by third phonecall, we were pleasantly surprised - the studio was large and comfortable, and fashionably cool. Bed was OK. Very good aircondition is a huge plus. Also, it's very central.The kitchen lacks kitchen towel and bread knife. Stay out of the laundry basement, it's full of garbage. All in all, good value and we would consider staying there again.

Had a good stay for four nights, but it is more of an Airbnb than a hotel. I would not prefer their reception-less method if traveling alone. Rooms are spacious and quiet, but a little dingy/dusty. Showers would not stay warm for long in the evenings but mornings were fine. We had to contact owners for more towels and toilet paper but they arrived very quickly and seemed happy to check in with us. Extremely walk able area for beautiful Ghent, but getting to and from the train station required taxis. Public transportation was tricky in the area.

Good basic place to visit Ghent from
Room location and price was good. Bed was comfortable and pillows were nice. Basic provisions were okay. I could give this an 8 if the shower hot water was better. It stayed hot for a minute or less before turning cold. A little more provisions it small kitchenette would be nice - I was slicing onions with a table knife.

Our shower was unclean and moldy. There were cobwebs. The walls were dirty and stained. The in-room coffee maker didn’t work and only decaf coffee was provided. No onsite staff to answer questions, address complaints or provide support

Laundry service is a creepy and narrow staircase into a basement that reeks of garbage. Reception was quick to answer any questions over WhatsApp but it was suggested that I just leave my card info in a draw downstairs at checkout to pay and found that the draws are filled with random stuff including room keys. Seems unsafe if everyone that’s staying has access. Not very quiet and not well cleaned. Won’t be staying again.
