We stayed in the garden room which is delightful. It is a purpose built self contained unit. It has a comfy bed, a lovely bathroom and a ‘conservatory’ (you have to see it to know what I mean). It is about a 30 minute walk to the centre of Ghent or you can take public transport. The hosts kindly showed us the public transport routes. It’s about a 15 minute walk from the main station. It is quite hard to find initially. It is right next door to the Carrefour express shop.

I would call this place a real find. We stayed here a week in order to attend a conference at the nearby ICC (International Convention Centre.) The location was perfect: a 20-minute walk from the train station (there are several bus routes that can reduce this by half or more), 7 minutes' walk to the ICC. There are two buses that stop nearby on the same street. A small grocery store (Carrefour Express) is right next door; you can buy food including prepared sandwiches, wine, and beer. There is a larger grocery store (Proxy) further up the street with more selection and lower prices. Several restaurants on the street; I recommend the Ette-Ibibio (African), and Asian Delight, but there are many others to choose from within reasonable walking distance. Our room was the Garden Room, which is literally a room in the garden: a self-contained unit at the back of the garden. There is a glassed-in terrace in which we could leisurely view the very private garden. The room and bathroom were very nicely appointed and comfortable. There is a kettle, microwave, and fridge, as well as basic dishes and cutlery (glass wine glasses and corkscrew, too.) The hosts are friendly and attentive to their guests. They helped with information on local sights, directions, and anything else we needed. I'm only sorry that our schedule didn't allow us to partake of their homemade breakfast (at extra charge but I expect worth it.) I highly recommend this place; high quality at a very reasonable price.

This is an excellent base for a stay in beautiful Gent. Hard to find as it's quite inconspicuous from the front, but when you get inside it's surprisingly spacious. we stayed in the room at the end of the garden. Very comfortable and a little magical. The host is extremely friendly and helpful. He advised us on travelling into town and on places to eat. Actually you can quite easily walk from the house, passing through a bustling student-land where there are plenty of bars and cafes. Then further on it's not far to walk to the old town which is very picturesque.

Stayed for 2 nights in garden in the city in the studio, it is even nicer in reality than the pictures show. Spotlessly clean, next door to supermarket, bus stop across the street, the really nice breakfast and the excellent fresh bread. And the exceptional friendly Kurt and Laurent . Will definitely return and would recommend this place.

Wow! We had both apartments and felt very good throughout our stay (2 nights). The host is very helpful and makes amazing breakfast (thank youuu ;)). It is recommended to pre-order! A special mention for the ultra-comfy beds, rarely slept so well abroad! City center is accessible by bus (5) in 10 minutes!

We stayed for a night in the studio, with a decked terrace overlooking the back of the houses over the back garden of the house. Nice studio on two levels with a little mattress up top, and a comfy bed underneath. Well equipped mini kitchen with fridge, hob and microwave. Bathroom ceiling a little low, especially around the toilet where not only does the ceiling slope but the toilet is far too high of the ground - my other half sat with her feet off the floor, and I had to contort myself into a good peeing position. Good shower though, and nice consumable bits. Great location south of the beautiful Ghent, just a 25 minute walk into the centre of town and a bit further to the lovely castle.

This is a hidden gem. We stayed in the garden apartment while at the Davis Cup last November. It was very convenient for the city and the buses and trams were excellent. Very clean and comfortable and beautifully designed and decorated. Very tasteful. The guys who owned the beautiful place could not do enough for us. The breakfast was amazing and everything home made and fresh. They made us so welcome, we were sad to leave...Thanks guys for an amazing welcome to your beautiful city xxx

If you are going to Ghent, want to be self sufficient and close to the velodrome this is an excellent find. We stayed as a couple for the 2015 Ghent 6 days. It was just big enough for the two of us. There was a sofa bed but it would be a bit cramped to have more than 2 people there. The apartment was very clean, free WIFI, english TV stations. Small apartment with kitchen facilities kitted out with everything you need to make a basic meal. It is next door to a Carrefour Express minimarket to stock up on essentials. The apartment was less than 10 minutes easy walk to the velodrome, its farther into the city centre, but there is a bus that will take you from right outside. Its not far from the train station, 15 minutes walk. If I were returning to Ghent I would definately stay again.

In lovely and busy Ghent this b&b offers you a true oasis at walking distance from the centre or a short busride away. The name Garden in the city is very appropriate as we discovered at breakfast. Which was excellent by the way! Hosts Kurt and Laurent are very friendly and relaxed yet run a high quality establishment. The loft apartment offers a great rooftop terrace, while the ground floor room is in the garden itself: wonderful! I will be glad to return here!
