Can’t complain about the location which is really central and near the main sites (certainly those I wanted to see). Also near a car park which was reasonably priced for leaving the car overnight. Location is the reason for three stars. The room itself I would give a two. The toilet (sink is outside this bit) is behind a sliding door which didn’t shut properly so no privacy. The light also turned off continuously. Luckily me and my partner just laughed at it but it’s not what you want. The whole place needs a spruce up. Room and hallways. Pictures definitely make it look better than what it is. For one night it was totally fine.

Haben im kommenden Monat ein Zimmer gebucht und müssen leider umbuchen, aber diese Herberge reagiert auf keine Email, obwohl wir sie 3x angeschrieben haben! Dieses Verhalten deckt sich mit vielen anderen Rezensionen! Es ist sicher besser, dass wir eine Alternative buchen.

Cozy and modern ensuite rooms with large soft bed, complimentary coffee pods, air conditioning, toilet pan with integrated handheld shower spray. The only downside was that walls had no acoustic insulation whatsoever so I could hear literally anything happening in the adjacent and above rooms. Ear plugs strongly recommended.

The room is spacious and equipped with TV and Dolce Gusto machine. The bed was large and pleasant. Plenty of towels and spacious bathroom, but the rubber shower is not really clean. Terrace was dirty and cigarette butts were in a corner.

A lot goes wrong in this hotel chain. The photos of the rooms were taken a few years ago, it really looks very different in real life: very cold and much is already broken/damaged. In addition, the hotel does not respond to complaints, but after half a week of 'nagging' (extensive and neat communication) you finally receive a message (from the General Manager, of all people) WITHOUT apologies, but with a request to come back another time, then they could Let's see if they could provide a discount. Below is a summary: - Dirty bed, mold in the sheets (see photos) - Broken tap, unusable so no sink during the stay (see photos) - Broken luggage rack placed in the corner of the room, as if someone is going to use it or someone that will eventually be cleaned up (see photos) - A mosquito plague in the room, all walls (toilet, sleeping area) were covered in blood stains. So be careful! Mosquitoes can transmit dangerous diseases. Besides, you can't sleep with a dozen mosquitoes buzzing above your head. - Light sensors broken (put Heirloom's number in your phone, when you return from dinner you have to call the technical service so that they can completely turn off the switch in the meter cupboard) So don't forget to take a flashlight with you, because you have to shower in the morning / to the toilet in the dark. (I will not share the photo, the employee is recognizable in the picture) - In the shower, also be careful! The bottom of the shower holder (a kind of hood) fell off. If it lands on the feet you will have a cut. (No photo of) All in all, for Heirloom there is no reason for extensive apologies and a suitable solution. Plenty of other nice hotels in Ghent, so better skip this one! Below is an overview of the actual communication: 1) Night of October 14-15: report about various defects in the room - NO response 2) October 15: email with extensive communication about the stay - NO response 3) October 19: Follow-up to previous email, still NO response 4) October 19: Heirloom response, they will inquire 5) October 19: thank you kindly for the feedback, pending 6) October 22: Still NO response received, emailed again 7) October 23: iMessage heirloom, they will inquire 8) October 24: Heirloom General Manager's response, NO excuses, come back sometime for a discount 9) October 24: Feedback given about the ridiculous state of affairs Current situation: NOTHING

If you look at most of the good reviews on Google, it's strange that so many praise the staff - in a hotel that doesn't have one! And the reviews sound so similar. You wonder if these are bought reviews, because once you've been there everything turns out differently: We stayed at The Librarian for one night. On the booking website, someone asked if breakfast was included, and the answer was yes and it was included. That's why we booked. We arrived at 9 p.m., the hallway was full of laundry bags. The motion detector in the otherwise dark corridor only works from bottom to top. To go out, it only turns on when you have already groped your way down the narrow stairs. The idea of ​​trying a hotel without staff is nice. But when the first impression is this: the walls are scuffed and the hallway is full of dirty laundry, dark and everything is anonymous, what is clearly missing is the person. In addition, the shock when entering the room: there is a bed with oversized pillows, that's all ok, who needs it. Otherwise: no chair, table or armchair, just two small hooks for hanging a small towel. The room has extremely little space. There is a shower and toilet, each with a sliding door, when one is used the other part slides shut. It is not possible to use both when occupied by two people. The motion detectors in the shower or toilet go out after 5 seconds. This gives a nice light-on-and-off flicker, especially when one needs to go to the bathroom at night…. The plaster is flaking off everywhere, the seals are moldy or torn off, and there are disgusting deposits around the ventilation system. This looks really completely different from the photos on the website. And now for breakfast: in the morning we asked via WhatsApp where we would find the breakfast room. They said the hotel didn't offer one. After a short back and forth, the person responsible said that he should probably have the comment deleted on booking. Yes, that would be a really good idea! She is still there. Financial compensation for the lack of breakfast was refused. Our recommendation after this experience: stay away from this hotel! It's not worth the money! And sometimes good service needs people.
