De Waterzooi Suites

This is the most wonderful, luxurious place to stay. We've been to Europe more than 25 times, and Christian and Kay really know how to run a guest house. The suites are large and beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need while staying in Ghent. Plenty of closet space, refrigerator space and living space combine to make you feel as if you're in your own apartment! Breakfast is delicious, with a little surprise each morning to start your day. The location is perfect, with a great view of the castle. And, of course, the kind and helpful owners ensure you enjoy all that Ghent has to offer.

We stayed in the lodge , it is in a great location , central but remarkably quiet. Lots of nice touches and information from the owners and a beatifully designed apartment . Hope to be back and Ghent is a lovely place to visit

Christian and Kay are hands down the best innkeepers we have ever stayed with! The front door was a bit tricky to find as it was hidden in the middle of a restaurant seating (we walked by it several times.) But once we were inside we didn't want to leave. The whole building is absolutely beautiful and you cannot beat the location literally steps from the Gravensteen Castle. So glad we got the 1st floor suite as our legs were so tired after walking all day long. But it was the little touches too that set them apart. There was a small fridge with water and drinks for us during our stay which was appreciated as it was unseasonably warm. We were so tired one morning and slept in so Kay left a tray of breakfast outside our door for us. And she cared so much about a baby pigeon that had built a nest outside our window and kept checking on it (along with us) during our stay. Wonderful comfy bed, relaxing living room, all the amenities and the best breakfast with homemade yogurt, fresh juices and pastries every day. She does not let you go hungry. Overall we recommend De Waterzooi to anyone who visits Ghent and can't wait to return.

This is a completely charming boutique hotel. We were in the room at the very top with views over the castle at the front, and over the medieval rooftops at the back. I sat on the balcony with a glass of wine and felt I was starring in my very own movie. The bed was extremely comfortable and the breakfast sensational. This really is a very special, personal, unusual place to stay.

We stayed in the De Waterzooi Lodge for two nights. The Lodge is amazing - the decor, the amenities, the location, the comfort - everything. Kay and Christian have thought of everything, right down to the last detail. It's probably the best self-catering apartment we have ever stayed in. There stairs might be a problem for those with a disability but are not unmanageable for most. If you want to stay in Ghent, then De Waterzooi (either the B&B or Lodge), are wonderful for location alone and they are hosted by the nicest, most helpful people, Kay and Christian.
