Lovely room, lovely staff, loved the sauna in the morning

Wonderful location - on the quiet edge of the old town. Everything walking distance. The room was perfect. Great stay.

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.

The hotel was very welcoming, the hotel room was very clean, spacious and equipped with everything you need.

Adorable hotel, very clean and well designed. Walkable distance to all sights and a well appointed breakfast.

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.

Amazing hotel with all the facilities and amenities one could want. City center was about a 5-7 minute walk. Rooms were impeccably clean and spacious and hotel staff were kind and helpful. We would whole heartedly stay here again.

Location in Kortrijk, excellent customer service

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!

The location, the staff, the whole hotel was nice.
