It's pretty simple, really. This is an exquisite accommodation, beautifully designed and with all the amenities you could want, and run by an absolutely wonderful couple (Kay & Christian) who are clearly devoted to the operation. First off, De Waterzooi is absolutely ideally located. It's right in the heart of the historic center, walkable to everything (e.g., Graslei, Gravensteen castle,... More

I consider this hotel owner a very rude person. We booked this hotel last year in July but had to cancel it due to a very bad illness of my mother in law. He charged us to still pay the reservation cost but saying for next booking we didnt have to pay this cost again. He mentioned to book immediately... More

We loved Ghent and staying at De Waterzooi made it very special. Our apartment looking out on the castle was beautiful and spacious but our hosts, Kay and Christian, are what made this such a special place to stay. From the moment you arrive till you leave they are at your service offering advice on what to see and where... More

My husband and I stayed at this amazing B&B for two nights in November 2012, and neither of us wanted to leave! Our suite was spacious, yet managed to feel cozy at the same time. Kay and Christian anticipated our every need, right down to fleece blankets to snuggle up with on the couch while taking a break from our... More

A stay at this lovely B&B is like being welcomed home. Kay and Christian are super attentive and charming hosts. You immediately feel at home as they welcome you into their delightful establishment. We arrived well ahead of check in time because of an early flight from the US. Christian went out of his way to get our room ready... More

We first discovered De Waterzooi and Ghent in Dec 2011 and were so impressed wewanted to spend more time there so revisited in Dec 2012. De Waterzooi is just perfect and Kay & Christian are the best hosts imaginable. The suites are outstanding and the location perfect for the city centre. With luck we shall be back again!

Spent a wonderful evening in Ghent, Belgium, a beautiful medieval town with a castle in the middle of it all... not on a high hill like many castles, but right there at street level. A nice castle too... one of the better we've seen (and we've seen a LOT of castles.) We stayed the night at the wonderful De Waterzooi... More

There is no place in Ghent where you can have a more romantic stay . Kay and Christian are very charming hosts in their B&B . The atmosphere radiates the past and is the soul of the former st. Veerle Church. The oldest pavement of Ghent is excavated and can be walked on with our 21st century footwear! Lying on... More
