Loved by guests
"Old church and dependencies transformed into a hotel in a great location."
"The highlight was undoubtedly the breakfast, which was served in the building's nave, the area that used to be the main church space."
"Really good stay, the room was really comfortable and spacious, the property as a whole was pretty unique and really well located for the main attractions of Ghent."
