This hotel has a lot of character. I hear when people say it could benefit from some modernization, but not at the expense of making it another cookie-cut hotel. It os definitely a wonderful choice for travelers looking for experiences, rather than for tourist looking for the standard Marriott. In addition, Peter, the hotellier is quite a character, efficient, professional and nice personality. I would stay here again if I come back to Ghent.

Nice owner and staff. Very helpful.

The manager Akrim is a good person

I was going to give 1 star review for the property but the breakfast was actually good, so 2 stars overall. Everything is very old in the hotel. We got a room on the 3rd floor. No elevator, nobody to help with the luggage. Beds squeak whenever you move. No air-conditioning. If you open the window, too much noise from outside. Garbage truck comes at 6:30 and for 15 min there is banging.

Friendly and helpful staff, great location, comfortable room, silent to sleep although central, great beds and clean bathroom. Would stay again!

It was just perfect.

I love this very old charming, family run, hotel ...

Quirky and good value for money

Very close to everything. Convenience store right next door

The hotel is in a very good location, close to many of the main attractions, shopping and dining areas. The hotel itself is an old building which has been decorated in keeping with its age. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The room was large, clean and had all the facilities I needed. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Character of an aged property.

Decent hotel in a very old house. The medieval ambiance was interesting. No lift, so long flight of stairs to climb. Family room was very spacious. Great breakfast included in the morning.

Dirty, dust on the lamps, on the curtains all over the room, on the wardrobe. Mosquitos were huge, I killed one on the sheet and the blood stain it left was there even the day after the sheets should be changed. Towel in the bathroom, although renewed, it had some stains. Nevertheless the service was good, the personnel very kind, the breakfast was great and the location was perfect close-to-everywhere.

Beautiful place, really friendly staff, great breakfast

Great place to stay. Wonderful staff. Was nice enough to accommodate us for breakfast when leaving early in the morning. Breakfast was delicious. Very close to all attractions. Easy to take tram from train station to close proximity of hotel. Lovely old architecture room

A perfect base for exploring the city. Erasmus Hotel is centrally and conveniently located, just a few minutes' walk from Tram No.1 for easy access to and from Gent Sint Pieters Station, to UZ Gent and beyond. The Hotel was quiet, and comfortable, managed by a convivial Host and his team.Thank you for a memorable stay.

Lovely hotel with great staff in an excellent location. Room had everything needed and breakfast was good. Would stay again

The hotel is lovely and easy walking to all the sites. My room was ready early so they let me check in. Also, I left my converter plug at home, but they had one there that they gave me. Breakfast was also lovely. Eggs to order, cereal, toast, waffles, meats and cheese.

Nice location and a nice room.

Great location and service. Good price/quality ratio. Good breakfast. No hotel parking but parking available close by.

Nice hotel close to all sites. Great breakfast with fresh cooked eggs etc. Owner very nice.

Lovely old hotel. Staff very friendly. Rooms are nice. Decent breakfast with eggs cooked to order. Great location for exploring Ghent.

Very nice and helpful staff. I had an unexpected late check-in, and it was not a problem. Room was big, nice and clean. Breakfast great. I will come back.

Loved the quirky historic character of this hotel, which has wonderfully central location, and the staff were excellent. The huge bedroom overlooking the garden was amazing but needs better lighting (as does the dining room) and some furniture was a bit tired; the drapes over the bed were also a bit dusty. Good breakfast in a beautiful room, but the unless you have a table by the window the light is rather gloomy, especially in early February. Would love to return in the summer!

Lovely location, interesting old building, good breakfast

A good central location within walking distance of the main canal. A friendly welcome on arrival. Good continental breakfast.

Erasmus hotel is full of character and history. Excellent breakfast in the lovely breakfast room.

This hotel is in an old house,with a good location near historic area. It is not elegant, but the staff are great, the breakfast is free (and excellent) and I would recommend it for individuals and families who want a small quiet place to stay. There is no elevator, however. As I found everywhere in Belgium, the staff all speak English and are happy to use it with visitors.
