+ Solo me gustó la ubicación.
- No me gustó que me anularan la reserva dos días antes de llegar. No me dieron ninguna explicación. Solo se limitaron a decirme que me habían reservado en otro hostel que obviamente no era tan céntrico.
+ Given what I didn't like about the place, what I did like is negligible.
- The hostel offers kayak rental. They ask for an ID as deposit (which, as I later got to learn, is illegal!!!), but don't automatically return; they say goodbye to you without even entering the room where you had to deposit it. "Of course" I forgot it, causing me a denied boarding, a significant amount of stress, a loss of a day and hundreds of euros. I discussed the situation with them, in a calm and polite manner, they refuse any responsibility. Dear reader, you might say it's my mistake, and you are surely right - partially. It could easily happen to you too when you sign up for a relaxing adventure, and not for additional responsibility. But this slot here is not a review of me, it's a review of the place. And the place also made many, many mistakes. - They do not communicate in advance that they ask for a deposit, it's a "surprise" on the spot. - They asked for an ID as deposit, which, as it turns out, is illegal (it's the government's property, not mine). - Upon return, they say goodbye to you without giving back the ID or reminding you about it. - They admitted that multiple people had already forgotten their ID there. They clearly knew that their workflow was severely broken, yet did not care to fix it. - They admitted that they called me much-much later than noticing my forgotten ID (on a rainy day with only one other customer). They did not do their due diligence to fix the mistake in a timely manner. After multiple rounds of discussions, they deny any responsibility and deny to even partially compensate me; not even to the extent of refunding the rental or the additional night that I had no other choice than to also stay there, which would still only be a tiny fraction of my damages. They might be fixing this very workflow now, but one thing surely doesn't change: Even if they are heavily at fault, whatever happens, rest assured: they won't take any responsibility.
+ Berbat bi yer
- Hersey cok kotu
+ Pas grand chose
- L emplacement :. Si vous souhaitez dormir durant les festivités à Gand, allez ailleurs. Impossibilité de dormir avant deux heures du matin, car les nuisances et le volume sonore sont très importantes. Festivités cela ne veut pas dire boire des bières toute la journée et tout jeter ( canettes et verres plastique....) dans les rues. Le lendemain dans les rues de Gand c est une porcherie. Vive les festivités pour les alcoolos et bravo pour les gens des services de la ville qui doivent nettoyer tous les matins les saloperies de petits bourgeois qui viennent se bourrer la gueule sans aucun respect.
+ niks
- alles
- The staff I met in the first night looks like smoking weeds and gave me 2 sheet instead of 1 sheet and 1 duvet cover. However, she was friendly and still could answer any questions, so it was fine. What’s worse is I thought there was earthquake every time any cars crossing the bridge. The whole building would shake！！That was super terrible. The room was also cold in the midnight cuz the wind would blow in from the corner of the building. I really didn’t get why other people could sleep well and this hostel can have 4.6 stars.

地理位置真的很绝！景色正对着教堂，唯一的缺点就是火车经过桥的时候，能感受到震动感哈哈哈🤣夜景真的很像哈利波特里的氛围，开门的方式也很有科技感，工作人员服务态度很好👍，说这里充满了magic
Неожиданно, но очень удачно получилось остаться одну ночь в этом здании, которому минимум 400 лет и находится хостел в шаговой доступности ко всем достопримечательностям Гента. Вид из окна номера просто неотразим
Dat er steet en escort aan mijn deur kwam klopen
Magnifique
Excelentes hosts, una de ellas habla español, el servicio es muy bueno, pero como muchos hoteles/hostales en Europa este no tiene elevador y las escaleras son demasiado inclinadas. Baños mixtos, hay lockers de cobro muy accesibles y de buen espacio por si después de hacer checkout quieres seguir recorriendo la ciudad sin maletas. Excelente ubicación si viajas ligero.
