Great location. Virtue service but they forget to send us the door code. Wait for 30 minute outside before we receive the access code

Great studio loft in convenient location. Nearby parking stations made ut easy.
Room on 3rd floor needed 48 stairs, last set very narrow, so not convenient if heavy luggage. Main letdown was lack of detail to servicing. Only one coffee mug, no coffee, one glass and only one fork. When texted agent, they were quick to rectify.

I lived in room 11 and there are reception and the confirmation email had never been received. Had to wait 10 minutes to reach the staff. The hot water is not stable and comes and go. Should view the comment first obviously the water is system always have a problem. The hygiene is average. But the price is really attractive compared with other.

Unfortunately, our experience wasn't that great. The moment we arrived we noticed quite a significant leak in the room, below the sink. We messaged Heirloom immediately and someone arrived shortly (though without informing us that they would come; we were quite taken aback when someone knocked on our door). The person that arrived couldn't help and they were planning on sending someone else. When we came back in the room later that day someone had obviously been there, but the leak was still there. We couldn't use that sink for our entire stay. On top of that, we didn't have warm water in the shower (the water would turn cold after one minute), the tv didn't work and the room was overall obviously not taken care of (windows were semi-broken, the door of the fridge was broken, the shower door was inconvenient to open, etc.). Overall, it was very disappointing and though the city was great, we will not be staying here again.

The apartment was clean and in a good location in the centre of Ghent. We used Park and ride to get to the centre which only took 25 minutes on the tram T2.
Communication from the start was poor. I asked questions about parking, no answer, i asked about check in, no answer. I managed to contact them on WhatsApp and on the day of check in I received a code. Which worked for the front door but not our room.
Fortunately the cleaner let us in and eventually we received the right code from the owner.
In future I would recommend the owner to improve early communication with guests.

Bad start due to lack of communication from the owners, they did not respond to texts or phone until several attempts. Did not get information about room or code for opening the doors. But once we got that by third phonecall, we were pleasantly surprised - the studio was large and comfortable, and fashionably cool. Bed was OK. Very good aircondition is a huge plus. Also, it's very central.The kitchen lacks kitchen towel and bread knife. Stay out of the laundry basement, it's full of garbage.
All in all, good value and we would consider staying there again.

Had a good stay for four nights, but it is more of an Airbnb than a hotel. I would not prefer their reception-less method if traveling alone.
Rooms are spacious and quiet, but a little dingy/dusty. Showers would not stay warm for long in the evenings but mornings were fine.
We had to contact owners for more towels and toilet paper but they arrived very quickly and seemed happy to check in with us.
Extremely walk able area for beautiful Ghent, but getting to and from the train station required taxis. Public transportation was tricky in the area.

We stayed here 7 years ago, at that time it was great for us. Now it decrease, sure not again. The check in was crazy, no room free. After sending copy of confirmation, they gave with a room which us wrong room.
If you are happy with just a clean bed, the rest is heavy used, this might be your choice. For room with terrasse, enjoy the sound from air condition and dirty chair's outside, for using the shower, try to switch on hot water from bathroom sink, it helps for the shower.

Napkins for the toilet and towels(hand towel and bathmat) for the bathroom were missing. We cannot buy a pack of 10 napkins when we go on holiday for 1-2 nights. It was careless not to include these in the fee. Since it is an online system, the operation is not satisfactory.

Parking was not easily found
Laundry access was dangerous
Meat (old stink) left in our fridge
The room was very comfortable

No reception to ask questions or get directions or map, no hand towels, no utensils, way overpriced, no elevator, 3rd floor room for people in their 70s!

Room location and price was good. Bed was comfortable and pillows were nice. Basic provisions were okay. I could give this an 8 if the shower hot water was better. It stayed hot for a minute or less before turning cold. A little more provisions it small kitchenette would be nice - I was slicing onions with a table knife.

Our shower was unclean and moldy. There were cobwebs. The walls were dirty and stained. The in-room coffee maker didn’t work and only decaf coffee was provided. No onsite staff to answer questions, address complaints or provide support

Laundry service is a creepy and narrow staircase into a basement that reeks of garbage. Reception was quick to answer any questions over WhatsApp but it was suggested that I just leave my card info in a draw downstairs at checkout to pay and found that the draws are filled with random stuff including room keys. Seems unsafe if everyone that’s staying has access. Not very quiet and not well cleaned. Won’t be staying again.

Perfect location and really nice staff, but maintenance and cleanliness are extremely poor. We bought disposable dishes so we wouldn't have to use theirs. White socks on the floor turned black in no time.

Lovely old building. Yes, stairs are original and steep but not a problem.
Front view is of square used for parking - shame but didnt spend time looking out of the window.
Great place to stay

This place is much better suited for a couple wanting a minimalist room, but not well-suited for a solo traveler. A little unsettling both from the area and the lack of other staff/service onsite
