Hotel Monasterium PoortAckere Ghent

Perfect location, short walking distance to all the best bits of town but far enough to seem very quiet and peaceful, especially as the festival was on whilst we were there, and we weren’t disturbed by noise at all. It’s a stones throw from some very nice cafes, bars and restaurants, so even if you didn’t want to go into the middle of Ghent there’s plenty of places to try. It actually feels very safe and secluded in the hotel and there is a lovely central quite big courtyard type garden area in the middle of the property. Rooms are spotlessly clean with nice light and windows that open onto the garden area. The staff in particular were very sweet and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Our only disappointment was that there seemed to be a shortage of coffee when we were there! The room was not topped up with coffee facilities at all and we kept having to ask at reception for coffee pods for our morning cup of coffee, not good!

The room was spacious, being set over two levels with the beds up a flight of stairs, so not suitable for everyone. It was gret to see that most of the features of the old Monastery had been retained, including the vaulted ceiling and the stained glass windows of the abbey. These sat well alongside the modern touches in each room. The air conditioing was working very well and the beds were super comfortable. The room also had tea nd coffess making facilities, which you don't always get in Europe. The hotel was in an excellent location, just 5 minutes walk from the historic part of Ghent.

It was converted from a former monastery, making it a very cool place with a unique experience. The breakfast options were diverse, and having breakfast inside the old church was a very special atmosphere and environment. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and you can store your luggage before check-in and after check-out. The room provided tea bags, coffee, and a refrigerator.

The room was very spacious (garden room requested), very cosy and perfectly situated to explore old town Gent! There were enough parking spaces upon arrival and access from reception to rooms was made easy with elevator and stairs. The bathroom was larger than expected and really well finished and we enjoyed a gorgeous hot shower - lovely! We didn't have breakfast but the church set up was really lovely.

Exceptionally beautiful building, former monastery, very authentic and majestic. It’s obviously old but rooms are newly renovated. Staff is very friendly and helpful, location is just perfectly close to main attractions.
