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!

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.

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.

Great Location, easy to get into town but in a nice quiet area of the city. The monastery has been beautifully updated to accommodate the hotel, but still.has kept its charm. The family room was very big with plenty of room for us and all our stuff. The fridge in the room was also very convenient.

The room was as not as a conventional type room but had taken the previous occupiers use and turned it into a nice period reflection of their use, it was quiet and the bed was comfortable. Once you established the hotels whereabouts it was easy to navigate to the centre of the city.The breakfast was excellent and self service. The pictures on the walls show the nuns at recreation. The staff were very helpful, and they will store your bags on check out if you have more visiting to do before you leave.
