The Hide
The Daydreamer was well located, and very attractive, with trompe l’oeil fragments on the ceiling. Everything was well appointed, and the shower gel smells wonderful. The staff was responsive and helpful.

My family stayed at the hotel recently and it was a fantastic experience. The property is centrally located in Ghent and easily accessible by foot. Our room had three beds (two full and one queen) and was very clean. Overall, this is a nice and reasonably priced hotel and we highly recommend it.
