Very nice small hotel! Breakfast was amazing. The room was comfortable, the area is beautiful, and we happened upon a small festival in the city center. We plan to stay again if we are ever in Ghent in the future!

Interesting character property that could probably do with a bit of a refresh. The room was a good size, with a comfortable bed. A couple of minor flaws, wiring was visible on the ceiling light, and the window frames had seen better days. I will probably stay elsewhere next time I am in Ghent.

Great little hotel - shabby chic, good fresh breakfast - only slight downside was it can be a little noisy due to to old wooden floor boards but for me this adds even more character to this lovely building- would definitely stay again - around 10 mins walk to the centre of Ghent

This property does not have air conditioning even though it says it does. The breakfast was great. The hotel is old and needs a bit of a touch up. We thought it could have been cleaner. We liked the location for walking to things to see and do.

Charming Charme

I enjoyed my stay at the Charme Hotel Hancelot. Check-in was easy and the service was terrific. When they told me my room was on the top floor and there was no elevator, they offered to help carry my suitcase to my room. My room was clean and comfortable. My only suggestion would be for a new mattress as the one in my room was a bit too soft. Otherwise a wonderful stay and I would happily choose this hotel again!

Nice hotel

Old fashion hotel in an old building, the furnishings we’re old fashioned and it was really cool. The breakfast was very good. It took us 10-15 minutes to walk to the center and the tourist attractions. There are some parking spots at the hotel, the best thing is to book in advance. The staff we met was friendly and we would absolutely recommend this hotel.

Beautiful but loud building

Very nice place to arrive to and is in a good location. Building is beautiful and old, but this naturally makes it pretty loud, you hear footsteps above etc. Room itself was nice but bathroom could do with a refurb.

Absolutely stunning hotel! The room I stayed in was on the top floor and had solid wood floors and angled ceilings, even in the bathroom! Smelled so good like fresh, bright wood. Beautifully carved matching antique wood furniture as well- beureau, desk and bed frame. A really peaceful and clean feeling energy. The hotel lobby is full of gorgeous antiques and beautiful art everywhere, soft jazz and classical music being played and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Really elegant and tasty breakfast. I loved my stay here!

Once this probably was a nice shabby chic hotel. Due to lack of maintenance it’s lost all the ‘chic’ and is now only shabby. Cannot speak for every room but ours was definitely in need of a thorough refurbishment. No complains about cleaning. It was tidy enough. Good location with walking distance to the historical centre. Small garage available if you are driving. Need to be booked in advance. Advise to the owner. With a reasonable investment you can develop the garden. Renovate the rooms were it matters. Shower/wc. An uplift on the facade would also help.

Lovely hotel (just not good for a summer day)

The hotel is charming with its classic style. Even though it's an old building, it's well-preserved. Just the bathrooms, in my opinion, need some renovation. The bed was not very comfortable. It was a super warm day with no AC, just a small ventilator. There's no elevator, but ok. The breakfast was delicious with lots of options. The location is very good, close to the city center.
