Hotels near St. Bavo's Cathedral, Ghent

The location is amazing, everything is close by, cafes, shops, restaurants. Very quite and beautiful, the area is so alive. The parking is on the opposite side if the entrance, across a pizza restaurant, not very clear at first we had to ask the reception desk. Great lounge area, they have a restaurant and a very modern dining area but I didn’t try them. Looking pretty good though.

Breakfast was excellent and abundant. Lots of choices and all very fresh. Pleasant staff taking care of everything and everyone.

Everything was great. The staff was very friendly and the hotel is located nearby the city center. the only minor downside is that the closest parking lot is about 8 minutes of walking.

Everything was perfect, the location is very closed to the city center, the breakfast was amazing and the staff were very supportive.

Amazing friendly staff super clean had a great stay!

The room was extremely confortable, modern furniture that looked new, really nice decoration and the facilities are really nice. The breakfast included was great. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations.

The staff were amazing with looking out for me. Recommended an awesome beer at dinner. The room itself was spic'n'span and comfortable in every way, only the exterior is not "brand new". I absolutely will stay here again, without hesitation. I consider it a great value. The on-site restaurant isn't a "compromise out of convenience" or anything - no, it's actually a good place to eat!! Internet was better than most, that made my life easier.

Excellent place, right in the middle of the center of Ghent

Locatios is amazing! Design and details are lovely. Seems they are renovating and it worth it. Breakfast was very good, customer service was lovely. Bed was delicious!

Very easy check in process and the space was clean.

Very nice interior, they keep it well maintained and super clean. Location was great, lots of amazing churches and access to stores nearby. The hosts were incredibly helpful, even going so far as to help us ship an item that was left in the room back to Canada. Amazing place with amazing staff, would highly recommend for anyone who’s looking for a great place in Gent!

I visited Ghent from 7–9 September and asked ChatGPT to recommend a hotel that would: (a) be right in the city centre and easy to navigate from to visit all the main sights; (b) be reputed for its hospitality, comfort, and service; and (c) help create a truly beautiful memory of my stay. It recommended 1898 The Post—and the choice couldn’t have been better. The hotel is housed in a grand historic building, formerly the Post Office, right in the heart of the city. The Lys River and the Graslei and Korenlei quays (lined with eateries) are directly behind the hotel. In front are the St Nicholas Church, St Bavo’s Cathedral, the Town Hall, and the Belfry—all just a short stroll away. To the left, a lively street is filled with restaurants and cafés. There’s also a taxi stand conveniently located at the riverside entrance. My room was spacious, with a big comfortable bed, a large window overlooking the street, and a loft-style bathroom. (Tip: travellers who find stairs difficult should request a room with bedroom and bathroom on the same level.) I was delighted to find a handwritten welcome card and a small box of pralines waiting for me when I checked in—such a thoughtful touch. Breakfast was served in a beautiful, cosy room, with a spread that was both generous and delicious. The staff throughout were warm, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that my stay was as comfortable as possible. I especially appreciated their care before I even arrived: shortly after my booking, they emailed to ask if I needed any special arrangements, and later followed up to alert me that I was arriving on Car-Free Sunday, providing helpful directions so my driver could drop me close to the hotel. I truly couldn’t have asked for more. Staying at 1898 The Post created a very special memory of my visit to Ghent, and I would certainly choose the same hotel again on a future visit.

location is perfect. And the size of the room is really nice!

Excellent location in the middle of everything. Exceptionally walkable, great amenities and excellent recommendations for local spots from the owners.

The room was incredible. The beds were beyond comfy, even the sofa folding bed. The location was perfect! Staff so friendly, and the breakfast was great! Also, the heated pool was such a plus. I was traveling with my 8 and 10 year old granddaughters and none of us was ready to leave!
