The best thing about the House of Edward was its location. Step away from the entrance are you are right in the center of Ghent's most beautiful sights.

Liked the room, the hands off check in check out, nice location for visiting Ghent. Steep stairs and railing needs some work.

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.

The location was great and the beds absolutely amazing! For that we would definitely stay again. The studio was light and spacious, could do with a more thorough clean (behind the tv!) and the kitchen amenities could be improved (we had 2 bowls, no plates, no kettle, no bin) Overall a good place and will be back. Thanks.

Great studio loft in convenient location. Nearby parking stations made ut easy. Room on 3rd floor needed 48 stairs, last set very narrow, so not convenient if heavy luggage. Main letdown was lack of detail to servicing. Only one coffee mug, no coffee, one glass and only one fork. When texted agent, they were quick to rectify.

What a wonderful little hotel! It is very close walking distance (2 minutes) to the old city center, with lots of wonderful restaurants, and an easy 5-minute walk to the tram that takes you to the train station for easy traveling around. The room itself is beautiful, and the bed is very very comfortable - especially the amazing feather pillows!! Perfect after a long day of walking! The owners were very responsive and made the self check-in and -out very convenient. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re back!

10/10

We booked a studio room and were pleasantly surprised to find we had been given the room on the top floor which was like a loft apartment, with a sofa and hi-table with bar stools. The bed was comfy and the kitchenette had a good amount of kit. Great location and I liked not having to worry about keys. We would recommend

Simple check in, modern style, apple TV. Parking is 100yds away in an underground car park and is not cheap.

This place is much better suited for a couple wanting a minimalist room, but not well-suited for a solo traveler. A little unsettling both from the area and the lack of other staff/service onsite

No reception to ask questions or get directions or map, no hand towels, no utensils, way overpriced, no elevator, 3rd floor room for people in their 70s!

The design of the studio made efficient use of the space. The finishes were excellent. The bed was very comfortable. My unit had a terrace which doubled the space of the unit. I will definitely stay at The House of Edward again. The nearby dining and shopping options are superb! There are many worthwhile attraction in Ghent and Brugge is a short train ride away. Excellent overall.

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.

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.

The room had some small problems with cleanliness. The sheet on the bed had some marks, there was dust in the floor and the shower was not super clean. The location was great but for the price, a cleaner room was desired.

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.

We stayed here 7 years ago, at that time it was great for us. Now it decrease, sure not again. The check in was crazy, no room free. After sending copy of confirmation, they gave with a room which us wrong room. If you are happy with just a clean bed, the rest is heavy used, this might be your choice. For room with terrasse, enjoy the sound from air condition and dirty chair's outside, for using the shower, try to switch on hot water from bathroom sink, it helps for the shower.

Value place to stay in Ghent. Nice location. Two flights of stairs to the top rooms. Entirely automated so you never see the hosts. But the access is quite easy as they send adequate instructions. As I remember it, the free version of the internet was just a tad slow even for doing basic tasks. Over all, would be pleased to stay there again if I ever get back to Ghent.

Perfect location and really nice staff, but maintenance and cleanliness are extremely poor. We bought disposable dishes so we wouldn't have to use theirs. White socks on the floor turned black in no time.
