During christmas everything was absolutely great and we can't wait to go back. The hotel was spotlessly clean based in a historic style building with highly professional staff. The location was absolutely ideal, near to central Ghent, AH supermarket and the gorgeous central plaza.

Fine decor and very nice cocktail selection at Cobbler bar. Room layout tricky. Separated toilet not comfortable for us.

The decor at 1898 The Post blew me away, blending neo-Gothic accents with modern touches in every corner. I loved enjoying coffee at the Cobbler bar, watching the vibrant activity at Korenmarkt square. The cocktail selection is unique, and the bartender was knowledgeable about jenever. The location is superb, right in the heart of Ghent. I faced some challenges with the room layout. The stairs to the bedroom are narrow and tricky. Breakfast served in the cocktail bar was good but could benefit from a more varied hot food menu. Still, I'd go back for the style and charm of this hotel.

The location is unbeatable! With so many restaurants and key sights just a stone's throw away, we felt right in the heart of Ghent. Our room was beautifully decorated and cleverly used the space while offering all the comfort we needed for our family of six, including our four teenagers.
In my wife's opinion, better breakfast options would enhance family stays.

The stylish decor is like a beautiful time machine, blending neo-Gothic accents with bespoke furnishings that make every corner picture-perfect. The cocktail bar, Cobbler, offers good drinks served by world-class bartenders, and enjoying coffee at the bar while watching the lively Korenmarkt square was a highlight I won't forget.
Bathroom layout confusion.

Couple suit the luxurious stay
This place has charm like no other. We adored the high ceilings and the unique bathroom design with the mezzanine level. I mean, it reminded me of a scene from a movie, really! The bar has this very nice double helix staircase, and drinks there were great, too.
It wasn't cheap, but for the experience we got, it was still within reason.

Charming atmosphere with a fine bar, perfect for winding down after a day of exploring. The location is buzzin' right in the city center, and the staff are super attentive.
The breakfast layout could be more convenient, and some areas felt a bit crowded during peak hours.

The decor is fine and very tastefully done! The enormous bed was comfortable. I especially enjoyed the amazing city view from my room.
