Storybook setting…

Beautiful place to stay. Very unique. Styled wonderfully so you feel like you’re in a story. If you struggle with stairs though, I’d consider elsewhere. If you’re good with stairs make sure you check out all the nooks and crannies. Bed very comfy.

Bathroom is at the second floor which is very inconvenient, the toilet is at the first floor and without sink to wash hands, only dry cleaners. This price is way too expensive.

My husband and I recently enjoyed a wonderful four-night stay at The Post. The hotel’s location is absolutely unbeatable, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our visit. One thoughtful touch that stood out was finding an Easter egg filled with Belgian chocolate in our room—such a perfect gesture for the holiday weekend. I would absolutely recommend staying here. Just a small note: in our room, the toilet was located downstairs while the sink was upstairs. It wasn’t a major issue, but something worth being aware of.

Lovely stay in heart of Ghent

Lovely hotel in the heart of Ghent. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay overlooking the basilica. Close to shopping and right on the canal. Beautiful Easter Brunch and very friendly staff in dining area. Lovely Easter egg surprise in my room filled with local chocolates. Extra attention to detail. Cab outside the doorstep and quick ride to train station. Romantic.

Best stay yet in years of traveling in Europe!

We have an exceptional 4 day stay! The rooms are beautifully appointed with everything you could want (the only thing to note is that some rooms have the shower and sink in a loft space, so the stairs were a little challenging for my mother). The breakfast buffet is a must! The views are stunning from every window in the hotel, and the location could not be better. The staff was warm and very helpful. It was a perfect stay.
