I had four long workdays ahead of me in Ghent, Belgium, and therefore booked a few nights at Alphabed. - the room: I was in the 'riante kamer' ('exquisite room'), on the second floor. I loved the bed and the fluffy pillows, there was a big flatscreen tv mounted on the wall opposite of it. The bath room was fully... More

Convenient, quiet location (near St Bavo's cathedral, famous for the "Lamb of God" Van Eyck altarpiece). The rooms are all of a reasonable size (and all have en suite facilities despite some bizarre reviews elsewhere on this site); however they differ in style of decoration and some are bigger than others; use the information on the Alphabed web site to...

alphabed is really well located in gent. it's very charming, but a little bit dusty (don't check under the bed). the romantic room is on the ground floor, but it's very quiet. i didn't meet marc, but jonane was very kind and helpful. i would, for sure, stay there again.

The house had the perfect mix of chic, comfort and good taste while also being an exceptional... More

My phone was flat, I had no change, public phones were thin on the ground anyway, it was a dark rainy evening after a day's travel- not a great start. Fortunately I found someone who let me... More

I am sorry to write this, but I have to. I found Alphabed B&B through Tripadvisor and read good comments about that. I contacted Marc by e-mail and asked to book a room for 1 night. He replied that he had reserved a new room with a Moroccan bathroom. I printed out the map how to get there. It turned... More

We had a great stay with Marc and his stylish and cosy B&B. Loved the breakfast and the location. Don't hesitate, just book it ;-)

We recently had a very enjoyable stay of 2 nights at the Alphabed ,Gent. Access is by phoning the owner for the key code to enter the property , this worked well for us. We stayed in the romantic room on the ground floor on the street side of the house.Although situated on a quiet side street,we were a little... More
