Great property in the heart of Ghent. We had a lovely stay with our small baby. The staff were great and happy to help with anything. The only thing I would say is that the access isn’t that obvious/signposted when you first arrive.

Beautiful hotel, very comfortable bed, and extremely welcoming staff. The additiona items for the children were a really nice touch, with the super cymute kids bathrobes and the fox for my youngest. The hotel itself is located right inthe centre of Gent, making it so easy to explore within the short stay we were there for. It is a beautiful building with lovely touches and wonderful views. We rarely visit somewhere twice, but are really considering making The Post 1898 a regular fixture in our europe road trip travels for the future.

We completely realize the city was preparing for the festival. There was a lot of construction around the hotel for that. The hotel its self was lovely and so were the staff. We want to come back when it’s not festival season.

Stunning building. Perhaps the most tastefully decorated hotel I have ever seen. Kudos to whoever did the interior design. Great location, in the heart of where you want to be. Superb breakfast and great staff. It is a 5 star property. I only rated 4 star because of how incredibly inconvenient and disorganized the parking situation is. The hotel provides very vague and confusing information as to where to park off-site. Had to circle the city 3 times to find it. Not marked at all. We then had to drag our luggage through a crowded city, over a bridge, and up multiple steps at the hotel. No bellman and no signs. Not a 5 star experience. Until they solve this problem, it will not truly be a 5 star property.
