8.0 / 10.0
It was extremely comfortable and offered excellent amenities. The kitchen was of a really good standard and generously stocked. It was easy to find our way around Ghent from Violet Suites.
Our bedroom did not have a window, so lack of fresh air was a bit of a problem.

Comfortable room large bed roomy shower and owner was there when we arrived who was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding the history of Ghent.
Upgraded but not sure what we got for the extra paid. There was a small terrace but did not use.

Very nice host, clean, location at walking distance from city centre, comfy bed. Shared Kitchen area with fruits and drinks.
The ensuite bathroom area is nice and clean, but built inside the room (wooden structure) so a bit noisy (opening and closing the toilet door) for your ‘roommate’ if you have to get up at night.

Located in Ghent this stay provided a good starting point to explore the city. The room was large and a common area had a fridge, snacks, and table and chairs seating. Fruit and snacks were a welcome addition. Coffee maker was available in our room and in the common area. Parking g was available for a cost. Keeping in touch with our host we were met on the street at our late arrival and walked to our parking area. This was especially helpful as the streets are a bit confusing.
We did drive around the block a couple of times trying to locate Violet Suites. Street parking was difficult to find as we searched. If we did not have data on our phone we would have struggled to connect with the host as the suites are on an upper floor.

Friendly welcome from Herman. Our suite Violet 3 was modern and clean. Loved the design. Communal kitchen had fridge, tea and coffee facilities and snacks. Ten mins walk to the beautiful centre of Ghent. Nice coffee shop called catberry nearby .

Lovely apartment near the centre of Ghent. Good facilities and really great apartment (one of three I think). A really good option in Ghent.
Nothing.
9.0 / 10.0
The lighting of the apartment also gave the room a really cheerful and airy feel that was further elevated by how clean the room was. The terrace that was part of my room was super lovely, and I also really loved the big green plant in the room! It was also a super safe location so it's great for female solo travelers like myself!
The breakfast offerings were a bit less than expected. While I did love having the Nespresso-style machine in my room, I had expected at least one simple protein-based option in the communal kitchen (like yogurt) based on the information given on the listing -- I have some blood sugar issues so I can't just have fruits and pastries for breakfast (i.e., what seemed like the main offerings in the communal kitchen).

Good location to access centre of town but quiet area. Owner provided helpful suggestions regarding restaurants/things to see. Rooms were very dimply furnished but large and our room had access to a small courtyard. Bed was large and comfortable and there was access to a shared kitchen
I couldn’t get the cooktop to work so a few basic instructions would have been helpful for it and oven - thought I am sure there was probably a manual if I’d looked. Pastries were provided for breakfast one day but not the next

Although advertised as a bed and breakfast the latest web site says there is no meal plan - although tea, coffee, filtered water and a pre-wrapped small waffle and fruit is available! Although this would not constitute as an adequate 'breakfast' in the UK! It is also confusing and misleading to say there are kitchen appliances at your disposal when the hosts don't want you to cook or bring back takeaways! Indeed, there isn't even a bread knife! For this reason neither can it been deemed to be an Airbnb! As pleasant as the hosts are, I think they need to be clearer to their clients what kind of accommodation they are offering. The location was a good 15 minutes walk into the centre of Ghent, where the better eating places were.
We stayed in a lovely large room - with terrace- however, suggest that the extremely large cheese plant be cut back somewhat as is taking up space where the hanging rail and shelving for clothes are! Think there could be been more information on local bakers, good nearby eateries etc. As we were staying for 5 nights, would have liked it if our bins had been emptied and handwash etc. topped up as very low on arrival!

The space of the accomodation was lovely and the terrace was a bonus.
The steps leading to the terrace. They were a little precarious.

Very well designed and maintained room. The maisonette bed setup was a nice touch. I also loved the kitchen which had everything.
The frites place on the same street was nice and the owner was very helpful (NB: cash only!)
Nothing. There’s no negative. Easily walkable to Central Ghent.

The bedroom was big, the bed large and comfortable, the bathroom was modern and large too. We also had access to a very cute terrasse.
The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything to prepare our breakfast. Els was very very sweet and it was nice to talk with her. Her inputs were very useful!

The size and cleanliness of the room, the breakfast that had a lot of options, the kindness of the owner.
The bathroom, which had one transparent wall, but nothing too annoying.

We loved our stay at the Violet Suites! The host went out of her way to make us comfortable, even tracking down decaf coffee for us. The Violet Suites are super comfy and just gorgeous. So many creative little details that make you want to spend a few extra minutes there in the morning, enjoying your coffee or tea before you leave for the day. The suites are in an excellent location, a short walk to the Ghent city center, or a much shorter walk to the tram that will take you right there. The nearby neighborhood is so charming, we loved everything we did in Ghent. I couldn't recommend Violet Suites more!
I traveled with a friend and while not a huge deal, the bathroom had a sliding door instead of a fully closing door. It wasn't the most private option, but worked out just fine.

This accommodation was fantastic. Location is great. About 10 minutes walk to the centre and lots of bars and restaurants on the way. Also near bus and trains. Extremely clean. Beautiful and modern rooms. Access to kitchen which is well resourced with drinks and snacks. Very helpful and welcome greeting. Cant fault it.

Els is a kind and generous host. My room was spacious and nicely designed, and the food in the kitchen was more than enough for a very nice breakfast. Overall a great pick!

Check in was very easy and the host was helpful. Room was big, bright, and clean and had a lovely balcony. Close to Gent Dampoort station and to the center of town- easily walkable.
There is no soundproofing between the rooms and common area, so it can be quite loud early in the morning. There is also a motion activated light in the room that takes a while to turn off- annoying if you get up during the night. Because of these thing we didn’t sleep very well.

The place was fantastic and very near old Ghent and very convenient with tram and buses just 5m away. Els was very kind and had a wonderful array of breakfast for us, with tasty tea choices.
The automatic light in the toilet shines into the bedroom when using middle of the night.
