Rooms with A View

If only "Rooms with the Best View and the Softest Beds and the Fluffiest Towels and the Most Delicious Breakfast" could fit on the sign. After two nights here, it's a mystery to me why anyone would stay anywhere else when traveling to Gent. Rooms With A View offers a true local and luxury experience in the heart of the city. I spent so much time oohing and aahing over the views which you can take in walking along a wrap around terrace. Be prepared to dedicate a lot of storage space in your phone to the pictures you'll take. The rooms are lovingly and tastefully decorated with wonderful attention to detail to make ones stay as enjoyable as possible. The rooms came stocked with wine and beverages with stem glassware. The high quality mattresses include soft toppers and I'm convinced the towels were new because I've not felt softer ones. Breakfast is not to be missed as it's probably the best you could find in the city; fresh pastries, yogurt, fruit, cheese, ham, fresh squeezed orange juice, eggs and a wide assortment of jams and jellies. The place is loved and when you meet the owners Bie and Pascal you understand why this B&B is what it is. Their generous hospitality is unmatched. From organizing us a taxi to catch our early morning flight and putting extra juice and water in our room so we would have something to sustain us to the airport, it was hard to leave such pampering. Highly recommend taking advantage and dining at their restaurant downstairs "Korenlei Twee" for some excellent Flemish fare. The seafood is particularly exceptional. A highlight of our 2 week European vacation and we will be back again and again.

Bie and Pascal's B&B is the best location I can imagine in Ghent: a 17th century historic property with views of people strolling along the Korenlei and the boats passing along the Leie River, and fragrant petunias in all the window boxes. We loved climbing the spiral staircase to the clean and well appointed rooms, which exceeded all of our expectations: comfortable beds, historic features (like the wooden floors and iron window closures), refreshing cross breezes and air-con, and modern, comfortable bathrooms with luxurious showers. Every morning we started the day with an outstanding breakfast on the waterside patio. And throughout the day we loved interacting with the staff and chatting with Bie & Pascal. I would plan another trip to Belgium just to stay with Bie & Pascal again!

Absolutely beautiful room, beautiful view from the room - panoramic views to be honest. The host put a bottle of wine in the room and it was just perfect sitting in our gorgeous room, sipping on a lovely glass of wine, taking in the lovely atmosphere and beautiful evening. Recommend.
