Step back in time at the Harmony. Like, waaaay back. The hotel faces the canal and a lot of history. Actually, it sits beside and in front of a lot of history, too. Check in was easy, the stairs aren’t quite Amsterdam walk-up steep, but you might give consideration to taking the available elevator nonetheless. Our room was above the dining area and faced the canal. The view from the deck was simply awesome. The weather was oddly—for Ghent I am told—perfect. People milled in the streets and cafes drinking, eating, laughing, and, yes, singing. I was a festive atmosphere. Our room had comfortable linens and mattress, more than adequate HVAC, plenty of hot water and other amenities. And then there was the view to behold! The hotel is nearby many restaurants and pubs and across the street from one of the oldest pubs with plenty of Belgian biers to sample. The Harmony fairly exudes olde world atmosphere but has plenty of modern accommodations (the upstairs pool, for instance).
