Lovely hotel renovated from an old post office. Wonderful location directly over the canal. Rooms are nice. However, in some rooms, the toilet is on a different level than the sink. They are connected by a narrow stair that does not have sufficient lighting when descending. It worked well enough, but one should know this before booking the room.

This hotel was so much prettier in person. Seeing the sunset beaming in behind the towers was breathtaking. I stayed in Suite 19 and was very pleased. I love that the front desk would write me "post card" notes. The staff was all friendly and willing to help with scheduling dinner reservations, helping me navigate the features of the room, and giving recommendations of things to do in the city. As a solo female traveler, I can recommend this city for safety and things to do. If you love aesthetic, taking photos/videos for social media posting, and luxury - then this is a great place for you to stay. I did not participate in their breakfast, but I did get hummus from the Cobbler bar and it was delicious. Check in/out was quick and easy. My room was actually ready early and they accommodated letting me go on inside since I had just traveled very far. Walkable to bars, restaurants, stores, activities. Bars, stores, McDonalds open late right across the street, which is nice for those of us visiting from a different time zone. Would stay here again!

Great property in the heart of Ghent. We had a lovely stay with our small baby. The staff were great and happy to help with anything. The only thing I would say is that the access isn’t that obvious/signposted when you first arrive.

Book a stay, you wont be disappointed
Beautiful hotel, very comfortable bed, and extremely welcoming staff. The additiona items for the children were a really nice touch, with the super cymute kids bathrobes and the fox for my youngest. The hotel itself is located right inthe centre of Gent, making it so easy to explore within the short stay we were there for. It is a beautiful building with lovely touches and wonderful views. We rarely visit somewhere twice, but are really considering making The Post 1898 a regular fixture in our europe road trip travels for the future.

We completely realize the city was preparing for the festival. There was a lot of construction around the hotel for that. The hotel its self was lovely and so were the staff. We want to come back when it’s not festival season.
