Koeketiene Rooms

Good location, lovely hosts and the hosts run a breakfast/lunch restaurant downstairs.

Close to the train station but a bit of a walk into the old city

Location was superb, quiet street 5 min from train station. Decor was stunning and lots of nice little touches to make your stay fabulous. Food was exeptional.

...that we did not book longer

Our 2-night stay was the perfect way for us to complete an extended vacation trip to the Netherlands and Belgium. It was very conveniently located near both railway and ground transportation, the room was spacious and well-appointed, and the bed was th most comfortable one we had slept on in 2 weeks! Delicious breakfasts and lunches, but most importantly, the proprietors, Fran and Martin, were kind, friendly, engaging, and patient with our numerous questions about the Ghent area; we left feeling as if we had warmly connected with family members, not just business people.

Can't think of a thing

The Koeketiene Rooms is located a short walk from the main railway station, and it was very easy to find. There are good bus and tram links into the city centre, and it is easily walkable, but takes about 25 minutes or so. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful. We were allowed to leave our bags early to explore the city before check in, and the room itself was lovely. It was clean and airy, with high ceilings and plenty of space. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept very well due to the neighbourhood being very quiet. The bathroom was very clean and had all toiletries provided. The shower was very good too. Fran gave us some helpful tips on places to visit which was very much appreciated, and on the last day we had a delicious and filling breakfast cooked by Maarten. It was especially nice to be able to enjoy breakfast in the garden in the sunshine, and being able to meet their very friendly ( and chatty) cat, and the lovely, but less chatty tortoise!

There was really nothing not to like. Fran and Maarten were fantastic hosts, the room and neighbourhood was lovely and quiet. We were made to feel very comfortable, and it was a really enjoyable stay.
