Schopenhauer Apartment is one of the best luxurious apartments we have stayed in Ghent with the best value for money.
Very close to the Korenlei Historical Landmark,just 5 minutes walking, very spacious,romantic, and comfortable apartment .Mr. Eric,the owner, was very, very helpful and kind.
Many thanks to the Schopenhauer Apartment.
Nothing is missing.......it is really a very good apartment.

There was no breakfast offered at all. Really neat decor with Hanna and nice countyard. good storage. Location was great. nice robes and slipppers when had them.
Bath is not connected to room. Have to go out into a communil hall to get to the bath about 25 feet away. Told it was a private hall just for us but had numerous young adults going around with bath that does not lock. No light suffient for make up or even a good look. All just mood lighting in bath. only one small hook, not towel bars or any place to hange clothes or towels. Had to beg for supplies like shampoo, toilet paper, soap, water or coffee that was suppose to be provided. Only given hand towels first day no bath towels. Had trouble unlocking door to room. Had hole in floor about a foot square. No night side tables. With us staying 9 nights it would have been nice to have supplies that lasted more than one day at a time.
Took robe and slippers in middle of stay and never returned them. Just not consistent in service at all.

The location was perfect. Eric, the host, was very kind and fast at responding all our questions and requests. The room is super spacious and has everything you need.
Nothing critical but the wc room could be a bit bigger.

The location was very beautiful, right overlooking the river. Lots of wonderful shops right next door!
Nothing, it was perfect.

Eric's place - on the river in the heart of this beautiful medieval city - is the most elegant and comfortable B+B we've stayed in. Impeccable taste and decor - the room is furnished gorgeously and adorned with books in several languages - very, very comfortable shower and bathroom and pitch perfect location.
The only downsides we could find are that the photos on Booking.com don't seem to capture how elegant and comfortable it is, and that we had to leave after a single night. This sounds like it might have been written by the owner, but I'm a genuine guest. Best value for money in Ghent.

If you want an exceptional experience, specially if you are traveling with spouse or partner, then look no further! Schopenhauer offers an artistically designed suit, in which you will fall in love. Decoration, lighting and interior is eye-catching! The suit is way bigger than average you can get in Europe within such price range. The location is ideal, only 2 min walk from Gent's historical center. There are several amazing eating places nearby.
The hosts are a lovely couple, very friendly and intellectual! They will do their best to ensure a comfortable stay for the guests. The place comes with few nice surprises, which I won't spoil in here.
For me, it was the best reservation I've ever made on booking.com!
If you are traveling on own car, parking will be an issue nearby. Other than that, everything was perfect!

We loved it.

the atmosphere, the honesty bar and all the paintings/book around the room. The bed at floor lever is more comfortable than I though
There was no shower so we had to use the bathtub as shower, my partner is quite tall so not the most comfortable situation. The toilet is very small and see through, if you're not fully comfortable with your travel partner then it's not ideal :)

Beautiful place, well located…a definite 10

Incredible place to stay. It was made of two rooms the first being an art room with displays in a shop window! This led to a private room with a sunken bed and more fabulous works of art. A very nice bath. Location was superb right in the centre of the city with restaurants & bars adjacent. Shops galore starting just round the corner. Opposite was the river/canal so you could walk alongside for a long as you wish. The organisation from the owner was first class and we did not even see them! Instructions very clear. Especially the carparking; I choose the 6 euro a day parking which was a 10 minute walk away, but better than the expensive alternatives up to 24 euro a day. So we dropped off the bags and parked the car. They have cutlery & plates now.
We would have liked a stand up shower, though there was a hand held shower in the bath. The toilet was the smallest ever! Not very comfortable at all, but functional! The sunken bed can be a little difficult to get in and out, especially for the not-so-young! But it was charming and an experience.

What an experience to stay in a room like that, so artistic and theatrical! We loved the feeling! The bed and the tub in the floor were great, really relaxing. The honesty bar great idea. Excellent location. Everything was so special! Thanks a lot!
