Wonderful Ghent ,nice bed and breakfast but far away from a warm magic house

Die Lage,sehr ruhig,nice house,close to the centre

Compared with other houses in this style: Breakfast is very basic,if you want fruitsalad or a little cheese it's extra charched. No posibility to sit somewhere else,read a little or have a glass of wine as it was recommended inthe romantic hotels guide. The main reason to choose this bed and breakfast was the pool.I enjoy very much to take a short swim before breakfast and in the afternoon.It's only to use when paying 35 € for one hour! Yes,it's a very nice house and the hosts are very polite.But we think it's more show and of course a good buisiness than a warm welcoming home for guests.

Must see Charming property in the heart of Ghent

The attentiveness to detail and cleanliness. Kindness of the owners and sweetness of the house dog. The bath house is breathtakingly beautiful. The property is a truly magnificent masterpiece of elegance with a maximalist design twist which adds even more charm.

The bed wasn’t the most comfortable I slept in.

If you love history, art, and tasteful elegance, indulge in The Verhaegen

This experience is like a fantasy you thought only existed in dreams. The gentlemen, who are also interior designers, have invested so much love into preserving and polishing this older mansion, that the result is exquisite. What a surprise for the eyes! Of all the wonderful places we have ever stayed, this B&B gets the reward for the most beautiful. The gardens, breakfast and hospitality, also deserve accolades. BRAVO!II

It was a total dream!

It was beautifully designed and maintained. Apple tree in the garden, fresh coffee and eggs every morning, handwritten notes when you check in and out. If you want a unique stay in a one of a kind property - this is for you!

Nothing! It was perfect :)

I thought I was getting princess treatment, but here they call it the Verhaegen experience

Everything was perfect - the owners were knowledgeable, they gave us a tour around the mansion, and were eager to answer any of our questions! The mansion itself exceeds all the expectations - every detail, the lighting, the merging of styles make this an interior design gem. The attention to detail, passion, and love for the craft are seen everywhere - from the choice of the silverware to the apple and lemon trees in the garden. The breakfast is great, the beds are insanely comfortable. The location is incredible, the B&B is in a quiet residential area, 3-5 mins walking distance away from the city centre.

absolutely nothing. Maybe this would not be a perfect place for minimalist design lovers, but we were here for it, even despite our love for minimalism

Beautiful property near the heart of Gent. Feudal breakfast to be recommended. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

It is like a little Museum, very historical with a bit of modern art and design added.

Due to the age of the building it could get a little stuffy in the room, but that could be dealt with some airing out.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved the home, the owners, the history, the interiors and the lovely springer spaniel Tomba.

The property/home is exceptional. Straight out of the 1700’s and faithfully restored by the owners, two interior designers whose home you will be staying in. The breakfast was extremely good in the original dining room. The original paintings are just too beautiful!!

Our stay here was too short, just two nights. Be aware that it feels like a time capsule where the furnishings are absolutely beautiful. Due to the age of the original property there is no lift and the staff will take your baggage to and from your room. If you prefer minimal stairs, mention it when booking. We are in our 70’s and loved it!!

Wow! Unforgettable place- I felt like a princess!

What an incredible place! Marc and Jan have lovingly restored this former home to a wealthy count and countess from the 1700s. It’s clear that these interior design have spent the past 20 years making their home perfect. It’s an unforgettable experience to stay here. The breakfast alone is an experience not to be missed.

Nothing- it’s wonderful!

It is a really beautiful place. We loved staying there and were well looked after.

The breakfast was lovely but it would have been good to have more choice.

Felt priviledged to be able to stay in such a beautiful house, Jan & Marc were most welcoming.

Did not have breakfast at the location as wanted to get out and about and explore the city as soon as possible.

Most exquisite stay!

Literally everything. I even screamed a little bit when I fell on the bed, as it was so soft. I have never seen such a beautiful building, decoration, coziness. Jan & Marc are very welcoming and serene. The rooms are the prettiest and luxurious I have ever seen and every detail has been thought of. Bonus points for the doggie that walks around! If I’m coming to Ghent again, I’ll be here!

Terrible! Dont book before reading my experience !

Terrible experience ! Bad mouthing their clients, shouting at their clients and showing aggressive behaviors ! I am a lady traveling solo, a frequent in 5 star hotels all around the world, Genius Level 3 member and an experienced traveler with a luxury hotel management degree from a respected hotelier & business administration school. I also do "secret guest" service and reviews for luxury accommodations. Never ever experienced something that bad in my life. This is a mansion run by two men living in there... who are rather interior designers than hospitality people and this is not a 5-star institution at all. So you're warned. Please don't fool yourself with the shiny, welcoming photos and "questionable" extremely high ratings. I know and understand how a community and friends sometimes can be mobilized to support a business but it also causes more harm to the industry than support. What you encounter with in this place is exactly the opposite. Read this full review before booking in this property.

Avoid it ! These owners have no idea about professionalism, hospitality, welcoming guests and how to handle the client feedback. Your stay feels like you're bothering them in their private cocoon, instead of you're a client and being taken care of for a relaxing stay and an experience in a nice mansion. • I was verbally attacked & shouted at by these two men during my check out even after I left the property while I was on the street he was shouting at me with aggressive gestures because I have shared my honest feedback about my stay and did not let them trick me to pay 470 Euros instead of 285 Euros by presenting me a hand written note as my account. When I said it is not my account there must be a mistake, instead of double checking their records, he insisted on it in a very aggressive way. "It is of course your account, this is your accommodation cost. I, myself went on booking.com app and proven them it is not 470 Euros. If I was not paying attention and taking this hand-written account seriously, not having booking.com app in hand I would have paid 470 Euros instead of 285 Euros. No proper apologies were presented but resentments instead. Such a greedy host ! • Intentionally confusing rooms in the advertisement. If all your rooms are different, you should advertise them separately by their names. • Rigid & negative and passive-aggressive communication on every request. I have seen some similar experiences shared here by some other clients. The owners very much dislike if a client would like to spend time in the garden etc. They were bad-mouthing their clients who spent time in their garden. I needed to wait for my friend to pick me up after check out and asked if I can spend time in the garden. They started shouting at me and bad-mouthing some other clients. Utter disgrace and unprofessionalism.

Lovely stay in an authentic 17th century mansion

The BnB was located in the centre of Ghent(5 min walk to the main square). It's situated in a mansion from 1760, which was very nicely decorated. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated with a huge comfortable bed and a 2 person shower. A bathtub was also installed in a small side room, but it was not really suitable for people who are a bit tall. Overall a great experience.

Great place close to the centre

Beautiful house very tastefully maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. My room was very pretty with a lot of light and the bathroom was big and lovely too. The house has a lovely garden, which unfortunately I could not use since it was cold.

The access to the upper rooms (I got one of them) is via a very narrow staircase. It would be good to get assistance to lug the bag up. Need more plug points in the room. It’s difficult to find ones to charge devices. They could think of using the garden more for breakfast.
