Great location some wonderful rooms and good staff
24 Jun 2026
We arrived very early on a Sunday afternoon but the staff on duty were excellent and quickly found us our room . They also suggested a few restaurants for the Sunday night meal though one was closed on Sundays!We had room 12 which was really good with magnificent view of the Castle. It was very clean and well appointed but would have loved a mini bar to store cool drinksBreakfast was functional rather than excellent. The one downside was 32euro car parking on site which was a third of the room price!

Beautiful hotel
23 Apr 2026
What a beautiful hotel. We stayed in room 12 which is huge and in the main hotel. The room has tall ceilings and beautifully decorated. It has a nice view of the Castle of the Counts from the windows. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean and more importantly it was very quiet too. We don’t have breakfast but we did enjoy sitting in the bar area which also was very lovely. The reception staff guy was very helpful and friendly. And he gave us good recommendations for places to eat etc. We didn’t ask his name but he was from Georgia. A very nice professional guy.

Stinky room and dull breakfast
27 Dec 2025
Already on our first night at Gravensteen we were met by a horrible smell of sewage in one of the rooms. The staff had a very reserved tone and just shrugged it off as if it was a thing that normally happens.The breakfast wasn’t very good either, just dull bread and some synthetic juice.Their website also claims to have a fitness and sauna… I don’t think you can call old, stinky, worn down basement rooms with few to no machines and a shower without a curtain “facilities”. Other than that the beds were fine and it is indeed a really good location.

Lovely Hotel
04 Nov 2025
Lovely hotel with friendly & helpful staff. We asked if we could change rooms as the bed was too small for my very tall husband they upgraded us & gave us a suite. Well situated with the castle literally round the corner & 5 minute walk to the square. We got ubers to the train station to visit bruges & Antwerp. Never had breakfast in the hotel as plenty of cafes around especially the one opposite.

Hotel Gravensteen, Ghent.

Lovely room, over looking the castle. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice en-suite shower. We booked just for a night, they allowed us to store the luggage until we were ready to leave. We don’t eat there, but it is ideally situated close to wonderful eateries.
